Learning standards

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.
