AchievementStandards.Org is the home of the Achievement Standards Network (ASN). Achievement Standards are statements of what learners should know and be able to do. They may be promulgated by state departments of education, national content groups, professional organizations, labor or skill boards, and certification bodies, both in the public and private sectors. They are often referred to as learning standards, academic standards, content standards, skill standards, competency standards and performance standards, or by other terms. Many include specific granular statements of achievement levels or proficiencies in the form of benchmarks or rubrics.
The ASN has five distinct components:
- A repository of academic standards each with its own Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
- An input tool, enabling direct input of standards documents into the repository
- Viewers and web services to access the standards
- A resolution service that resolves the Uniform Resource Identifier into machine readable text
- A network of organizations that share, use, develop tools and leverage the technical advantages of the ASN in improving education
