Educational achievement targets
Curriculum standards are official benchmarks specifying what students should know and be able to do at each grade level.
They guide what teachers teach and how student achievement is measured.
Standards may be set by states, districts, or national bodies: The new curriculum standards emphasize critical thinking over memorization.
Controversial when they touch subjects like history or sex education.
