Learning Standards

Learning Standards is a term used to describe standards applied to education content, particularly in the US K-12 space. The Learning Standards themselves can can be found on the individual web sites for states ^[1], in curriculum published by 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 standards and controlled vocabulary^[2], and
• metadata about content^[3]

There are technical standards for encoding these standards that deal with:

• the k12 space^[4] and
• the higher ed space^[5] and
• the corporate space^[6].
