Synopsis

Are you familiar with the education standards developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics? The science standards developed by the National Research Council? The science "literacy goals" proposed by the American Association for the Advancement of Science? In Content Knowledge you'll find information on all the major subject areas, organized to allow you and others in your school or district to quickly and easily explore the variety of education standards and benchmarks in use today.

The authors have consulted 116 national and state-level documents that address standards and benchmarks. By putting all the standards in a clear, consistent format, they have streamlined the process of developing standards-based curriculum and instruction in K-12 mathematics, science, history, language arts, the arts, technology, civics, economics, foreign languages, health, physical education, behavioral studies, and life skills.

In each subject, you'll find clear and succinct summaries of standards and benchmarks at various grade levels, K-12. Benchmarks are keyed to three broad categories of knowledge (procedural, declarative, or contextual knowledge), making it easy to identify targets for learning at every level. There are more than 250 standards and 3,900 benchmarks in all.

Whether used as a resource for creating new standards or as a reference for validating existing standards, Content Knowledge is an indispensable resource for every school.
