Learning standards is a term used to describe standards applied to education content, particularly in the US K-12 education system. Part of the standards-based education reform movement, learning standards are used to create rubrics for assessment in many schools; standardized tests are often used for grade-level evaluations, and; standardized exams are used to graduate students in many US schools.

State learning standards are developed by state boards of education and enforced by state education agencies across the US.[1]
Learning standards are also present at the local level in curriculum published by school districts where they often take the form of guidelines by grade of what a student can or should be able to do, or possibly even activity level learning objectives. These often are based on the state standards but at a finer grain.
Learning standards can also take the form of learning objectives and content-specific standards and controlled vocabulary[2], as well as metadata about content.[3] There are technical standards for encoding these standards that deal with K-12 learning environments,[4] which are separate from those in higher education[5] and corporate space.[6].
