Fordham's Reviews from the U.S. and Abroad

Standards Central is a one-stop-shop for all of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute’s recent reviews of state, national, and international curriculum and testing standards. This online clearinghouse presents a wealth of information about individual states’ academic standards, the Common Core State Standards, and various national and international assessment frameworks and standards. The Fordham Institute’s Standards Central includes a Best in Class page highlighting states with the strongest standards in English language arts (ELA), math, and U.S. history.

This website reaches beyond state standards and also houses the Fordham Institute’s reviews of well-known assessment frameworks for ELA, math, and U.S. history, including: the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study, the Programme for International Student Assessment, the ACT, and College Board.
