Learning standards is a term used to describe standards applied to education content, particularly in the US K-12 education system. Part of the standards-based education reform movement, 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.
About
Learning standards themselves are developed by state boards of education and enforced by state education agencies across the US.[1], 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.
Learning standards can also take the form of content-specific standards and controlled vocabulary[2], as well as metadata about content.[3] There are technical standards for encoding these standards that deal with K-12 learning environments,[4] which are separate from those in higher education[5] and corporate space.[6].
