Learning Standards - About

About

An example of learning standards are state-developed learning standards as described below or the Common Core State Standards(CCSS) developed by the NGA and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO)

State learning standards are developed by state boards of education and enforced by state education agencies across the US.

Learning standards are also present at the local level in curriculum published by school districts where they often take the form of guidelines by grade of what a student can or should be able to do, or possibly even activity level learning objectives. These often are based on the state standards but at a finer grain.

Learning standards can also take the form of learning objectives and content-specific standards and controlled vocabulary, as well as metadata about content. There are technical standards for encoding these standards that deal with K-12 learning environments, which are separate from those in higher education and corporate space.
