McREL's online Compendium is a synthesis of standards documents from professional subject-area organizations and selected state standards.
Standards and benchmarks are presented in 14 content areas and include pre-kindergarten benchmarks and specific knowledge and skill statements.

McREL standards expert John Kendall puts in his two cents—or, in this case, his “15 percent solution”—for addressing gaps in student knowledge that can occur as states transition from state standards to Common Core standards.
