Section CXXIX-105 - Interpreting and Using the Adult Education Content Standards
A. This §105 provides definitions for standards-related terms used throughout this Part CXXIX. Following is a hierarchy of the standards-related terms used in this Part.
1.Strand-the subject area that is to be taught. There are five strands incorporated in the Louisiana Adult Education Content Standards. The strands include:
a. language arts- reading;
b. language arts- writing;
c. mathematics;
d. science; and
e. social studies.

Strand Example: Social Studies

2.Standard-the overall goal, end result of a learning experience.
a. A standard determines the purpose, aim and rationale of class instruction.
b. A standard is often not immediately measurable; rather, it sets the framework by preparing students for future activities and further knowledge acquisition.
c. A standard expresses a purpose for instruction but does not designate the specific abilities that the learner must possess.

Standard Example: Adult learners use and apply social studies concepts in a variety of situations.

3.Benchmark-supports the standard. It defines what a learner must know and be able to do in the lesson. A benchmark is brief and written to the point so that it is easy to understand and may be achieved over a well defined time period.

Benchmark Example: Adult learners apply the behavioral science concepts of psychology, sociology and anthropology to personal and community situations.
