80/100 RULE FOR STUDENT LEVEL COMPLETIONS FOR
TEXAS STANDARDIZED CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK

In accordance with the various requirements of Adult Education in Texas, including the determination of each learner's Educational Level based on a standardized statewide assessment, the Division of Adult and Community Education has developed Texas standards. These frameworks encompass various academic skills, workplace literacy skills, life long learning skills and skills for everyday living.

These frameworks are divided into educational levels for each learner. The Literacy Completion Point (LCP) has between 8 to 10 standards on the Adult Basic Education Skill level in each major component of academic skills: reading, mathematics and language arts. The English As A Second Language LCP's are composed of 17 standards that are uniformed from level to level. The measurements to complete each standard changes as the level increases making each standard more applicable to the learner's degree of skills and knowledge.

In order to show a completion of a level, a learner must complete 100 percent of the standards listed within an LCP with 80 percent proficiency within each standard using the benchmarks listed below each standard.
