standards-based reform

Standards-based reform is an educational approach aimed at improving student achievement by setting clear, measurable standards for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. It involves aligning curriculum, instruction, and assessments to these standards, ensuring that all students receive consistent and high-quality education. The goal is to hold schools accountable for student performance and provide educators with guidance on effective teaching practices, ultimately enhancing overall educational outcomes and equity across different schools and districts.
