In response to concerns over the educational achievement of students in the United States, individual states are establishing sets of learning standards defined by grade level or clusters of grades. Curriculum and assessment systems are then organized around these expectations in the core subject areas of English, mathematics, science, and social studies.

The following sites provide resources related to state educational standards for Illinois and its five contiguous states.

Illinois - The Illinois Learning Standards (ILS) define what students in all Illinois public schools should know and be able to do as a result of their elementary and secondary schooling in the following subjects: English language arts, mathematics, social science, physical development and health, fine arts, and foreign languages.  In addition, Performance descriptors and Teacher's Guide to Classroom Assessments supplement the ILS standards.
