| Content Standard Summary from Intime | "Content standards articulate an essential core of knowledge and skills that students should master. Standards clarify what students are expected to know and be able to do at various points in their K-12 academic career." |
| Standards-Based Accountability: Student Achievement Is the Result from the Georgia Public Policy Foundation | "Standards-based reform is a three-part system of academic standards, testing and accountability. The standards define the knowledge and skills that schools teach and students learn, grade-by-grade and subject-by-subject. The tests or assessments tell the teachers, parents, community and policy-makers how well the standards are being met, child-by-child, school-by-school and state-by-state. The accountability element is much more complex and can include incentives, interventions and sanctions to encourage progress toward meeting the standards by rewarding those who succeed in meeting or exceeding them and disciplining those who do not."
