What do Content Standards specify?

• A. What should the students know, be able to do, and care about
• B. How teachers should grade students
• C. School lunch program requirements
• D. Classroom scheduling

Answer: (A)

Content standards specify the learning outcomes students are expected to achieve: what they should know, what they should be able to do, and what they should value or care about. This captures the full scope of standards by naming knowledge, skills, and dispositions that guide what is taught and assessed. They provide targets for curriculum, instruction, and assessment, not details about grading procedures, lunch programs, or classroom scheduling.
