state standards

Official learning goals

State standards are the academic benchmarks and learning objectives that a state's education department establishes for public schools.

They specify what students should know and be able to do at each grade level: The curriculum must align with state standards.

Teachers design lessons to meet these standards, and standardized tests typically measure student progress against them.
