Crosswalk Documents

17. Crosswalk Documents
2011 State created crosswalk documents between CCSS and current Grade-Level Expectations (GLEs) in ELA and math
Developed grade-level content comparison reports
Identify what content will remain the same, be added, or be deleted
Indicate which CCSS will be phased in prior to full implementation

18. What is a Content Standards Crosswalk?
An alignment study to analyze the degree of match or overlap between two sets of standards
LDOE contracted with WestEd to create an alignment study between CCSS and Louisiana’s GLEs
ELA and Math
Each grade level
Serves as the official crosswalk for determining transitional curriculum and blueprints for transitional assessments
Not Included: ELA Literacy Standards for History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects
Terminology is based on CCSS for each content area
Formats are similar

19. Criteria for a Match
A GLE was considered a match to a CCSS if it met one or more of the following criteria:
GLE reflects the same concepts and skills embodied in the CCSS
Central idea and/or intended complexity of the GLE is consistent with the central idea and/or intended complexity of the CCSS
GLE addresses the intended content of the CCSS at a fundamental level.
Important: A GLE does not need to address all the skills embodied by the CCSS to be considered a match.
West Ed identified the strongest GLE to CCSS match(es) at each grade.

Crosswalks are in EXCEL Format
There are two versions of the crosswalks for each grade, each under a separate tab in the EXCEL file (see graphic).
Version A starts with the CCSS and identifies the GLE or GLEs that best match the content of the CCSS.
Version B starts with the GLE and identifies the CCSS that best matches the GLE.
The tabs labeled MathVersA-All and MathVersB-All contain the math alignments for all grades on a single worksheet.
In the ELA crosswalk, the tabs are labeled ELAVersA-All and ELAVersB-All.
