Content standards define the depth of knowledge, skills, and processes that are to be taught within any given subject. Content standards create an outline of knowledge, skills, and understanding that all children need to master in all subject areas. The content areas of content standards include: mathematics, science, reading, history, and language arts.
Content standards include instructional goals that are set for a two to three year period. Benchmarks explain the expected understanding and skills needed for content standards by each grade level and are meant to be tracked in time intervals. Benchmarks are used to determine whether progress is made to the content standard. There are testing used to assess each area.
