EAGLE (Enhanced Assessment of Grade-Level
Expectations) is a formative assessment classroom
tool used to assist teachers in providing descriptive
feedback and engage students in assessment for
learning.
GLEs identify what all PreK-12 students attending
public schools in Louisiana should know or be able to
perform in core subject areas upon grade completion.
GLEs are learning skills written in student friendly
terminology.
As Louisiana shifts to implementation of the Common
Core State Standards, EAGLE will be updated to align
with the Transitional Comprehensive Curriculum.


Teachers and administrators currently use
premade GLE based assessments or develop
new assessments from a pool of items that
match the instructional content of the
Louisiana Comprehensive Curriculum.
Teachers can identify strengths and
weaknesses, access targeted classroom
resources, and refine instructional strategies
based on student performance.






Provide students with a clear and
understandable vision of each learning target
Use examples of strong and weak work
Offer descriptive feedback on a regular basis
Teach students to self-assess and set goals
Design lessons to focus on one learning
target or aspect of quality at a time
Engage students in self-reflection; allow them
to keep track of and share their learning in an
effort to move information from short term
memory to long term memory


Students in Richland Parish receive individual
reports and learn to assess their own GLE
performance.
A visual graphic of a race car moving towards
a checkered flag is used to represent
progress towards teacher set goals.

Able to create tests consisting of multiple
choice, short answer, and extended
constructed response items for one or more
GLEs, or use the system’s premade tests
Set individual goals for students (70% or
above)
Schedule tests and hand score test items
Analyze and track performance using six
reports


Through administrative access, principals can
access and monitor teacher and student use
of the system.
Principals frequently receive school usage
reports from the district’s central office.

Research-Based Strategy 1: RTI JEPD DDD MEL CA SIM UDL
Indicator of Implementation (250 Characters):
2.1
Use Eagle and PASS resources to provide intensive instruction matched to their needs based on students instructional levels of
performance and rates of progress using a variety of assessment methods such as rubrics, goal setting, self-assessment, portfolios and
project based assessments.
2.2
There should be increased time in use of technology, increase high stakes test scores, and increase levels of academic progress
Procedures for Evaluating Indicators of Implementation (250 Characters):
2.1
The principal or his designee will conduct classroom observations monthly to determine the use of various alternative assessment
strategies. Documentation will be kept on file in the office
2.2
Teachers will review Eagle scores, six week and midterm grades, assessments, and other student work. Test scores will be kept by
the Guidance Counselor and other evidence of student achievement will be kept by classroom teachers. Teachers will review data from
Student Snapshots daily.

“The EAGLE Assessment tool has provided a
much needed formative assessment platform for
teachers to use as they monitor their students'
achievement progress. The individual gradelevel expectations (GLEs) are aligned in the
comprehensive curriculum. This alignment
guides planning and the assessment reports
provide monitoring of mastery and guides
reteaching.”
Kenneth Jenkins, Principal
Delhi High School

Rhonda Childress populates class, teacher
and student roster data into EAGLE. Schools

as the district point of contact for assistance
to address school level technical issues.

“For the 2011-12 school year, the teacher
with the highest middle school math scores in
the district also has the highest student
usage of EAGLE. The teacher gave pretests
and posttests for each instructional unit.”
