Miscellaneous Information

The WIDA English Language Proficiency Standards are aligned with Rhode Island's Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) and Grade Span Expectations (GSCs).  The GLEs and GSCs are posted by subject and grade level at http://www.ridoe.com/instruction/curriculum/ or as complete copies at http://www.ride.ri.gov/Instruction/gle.aspx.  It is helpful to use WIDA's Standards along with the GLEs and GSCs to combine the expectations of language and academic content standards
