Standards – The Road Map to Reform
Standards provide guideposts for academic achievement, clearly telling teachers,
students, and parents where they are going.

and be able to do for schools, teachers, and students.
- The Solution: Require each state to establish its own standards in the core
content areas of reading, math, and science.
