Please note that Rhode Island has adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, & Technical Subjects ("Literacy in the Content Areas"), and the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in Mathematics.  In the 2013-14 school year, the CCSS for ELA and Literacy in the Content Areas will replace the RI Reading and Written and Oral Communication GLEs/GSEs in preparation for the change from NECAP (reading, writing, mathematics) to the new statewide assessment (PARCC) (ELA/literacy, mathematics) in 2014-15. 
For more information on the transition to the CCSS for ELA/literacy and mathematics, please go to this page.

Please note that although Rhode Island has adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts (ELA) and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, & Technical Subjects ("Literacy in the Content Areas"), and the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics, the Common Core State Standards do not cover science content and therefore do not replace the Rhode Island Science GSEs.  The Science GSEs and the Science NECAP assessment will continue to be in effect.

GSEs for Engineering and Technology

This document, the Rhode Island K-12 Grade Span Expectations (GSEs) in Engineering and Technology, has been developed as a means to identify the concepts and skills necessary to foster literacy in Engineering and Technology expected of all students. The GSEs provide direction for in-depth learning and application of skills that will be required to meet the challenges of a future that is increasingly dependent upon a STEM literate workforce.

The RI Engineering and Technology GSEs were informed by the International Technology and Engineering Education Association (ITEEA) Standards for Technological Literacy.  They are intended as guidelines that represent the aspects of the Engineering and Technology curriculum at each grade span and are meant to illuminate the elements of the designed world. The intent of this document is to inform local curriculum development, not to restrict it.  The RI Engineering and Technology GSEs assessment targets encompass the content eligible for inclusion in local assessment.

Civics & Government and Historical Perspectives /Rhode Island History
(Approved December 2008)
Please note that although Rhode Island has adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts (ELA) and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, & Technical Subjects ("Literacy in the Content Areas"), and the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics, the Common Core State Standards do not cover civics/history content and therefore do not replace the Rhode Island Civics GSEs.  The Civics GSEs are still in effect per the Rhode Island statute mandating their creation and implementation.
