Creating
and enforcing educational standards are the responsibilities of
each state. To find out the specific standards for your state,
visit your state’s Department
of Education Web site.
To
help unify educational standards across the country, a number of
national organizations of education professionals have compiled
sets of standards as a resource for the state agencies to help
guide them as they develop their own standards. Below you
will find summaries
of these national standards, the names of the organizations that
developed them, and a link to the full set of standards.
