What Are Academic Standards? : 

What Are Academic Standards? Academic Standards are a combination of principles that are supposed to make clear what students should learn and what teachers should teach. Standards developed by state departments of education have been developed to demonstrate what they expect of all students in the in the major 7 content areas discussed later. Standards are supposed to hold all parts of the education environment accountable for results.

What Are Academic Standards? : 

What Are Academic Standards? Performance Standards are the expected performance of students on measures of academic achievement. An example of a performance standard is the expectation that all students will score a minimum of 80% correct on a performance-based assessment. Please note all students are expected to meet the same challenging State academic content and student academic achievement standards. This is an extremely difficult task for the beginning level ESL teacher, but can be done with the proper resources, checks and balances systems, dedication and commitment to education.
