Content Standards

When it comes to reading, math, science, and language arts all states have content standards in these areas of study.  The state decides what is going to be taught specifically in these areas of study.  They also have a clear outline of what the children should master in the content area.  Instructional goals are also included in the content standards.

Benchmarks are used to monitor the progress of students.  They also show a student weakness and their strengths.  Benchmarks can also be used to show what grade level a student is working on at the time of the test.
