Standards documents are the primary means by which expectations for students are communicated to educators, to students, and to parents, and have considerable influence on the content of the curriculum and day-to-day schooling. This study reviews scope of the thinking and learning skills expected of students as identified in three significant sources of standards—state standards in the Central Region, subject-area standards from national organizations, and standards from post-secondary education across four major areas of study. |  How to Get this Product | View/Download the PDF | | APA Citation | Kendall, J.
