Content Standards

Content standards and benchmarks are objectives and goals for students to accomplish throughout their course work as determined by the state. For example, goal 6 in teh NCSCOS for English I concerns being able to apply  conventions of grammar. The content standard is that all students will be taught grammar conventions. The benchmark is that all students will be able to apply grammar conventions with a certain level of proficiency. An example would be "all students will apply grammar conventions with 85% efficiency."
