Education Standards

Education standards are learning goals that identify what students should know and be able to do at particular grade levels (e.g. second grade) or milestone points in their education (e.g. by the end of high school). Education standards lay out goals but do not provide specific curriculum for achieving those standards. How to achieve those goals is up to individual states, districts, schools, and teachers. There are national standards in each major subject area, and many states also have their own standards. 
The national standards for Social Studies are known as the C3 Framework and Grade-Level Outcomes for Social Studies can be seen at this website. Schools throughout the United States use many different social studies standards that are specific to their location. Although learning targets differ, many states use the C3 Framework to develop their standards.
