Grade Level

Grade Level indicates the educational setting in which the material is intended to be used. This vocabulary should NOT be used for resources where no clear educational setting is intended. The 'intent' should come from the author or other 'expert' who has indicated this resource is appropriate at a particular level. It should NOT reflect a guess on the part of the cataloger as where it might conceivably be useful. It need not correspond to the educational level of the intended direct user. For example, a lesson plan for a 1st grade classroom will likely be designed to be read by a (college educated) teacher but should be cataloged as k-2 and not 15-16. NOTE: To be included in the Intro browse, items must have the "Introductory Level" term checked.
