Academic Standards--What are they?

Academic standards specify what students should know and be able to do, what they might be asked to do to give evidence of standards, and how well they must perform. They include content, performance, and proficiency standards.

• Content standards refer to what students should know and be able to do.
• Performance standards tell how students will show that they are meeting a standard.
• Proficiency standards indicate how well students must perform.
