Learning standards (also called academic standards or content standards) are the standards applied to education content, particularly in the US K-12 education system. Such standards are usually composed of statements that express what a student knows, can do, or is capable of typically at a certain point in their learning progression (often at as high a grain as "grade").
Learning standards have become an important part of the standards-based education reform movement, in which learning standards are used to create rubrics for assessment in many schools; standardized tests are often used for grade-level evaluations, and; standardized exams are used to graduate students in many US schools.
