Learning Standards are goals and objectives for student assessment in the United States. These standards have been created by the nation's governors and educational leaders to assess specific student learning.
All Learning Standards added at the account or sub-account levels are available to you as an instructor.
- Common Core Standards are available for Language Arts, Math, and Science (NGSS)
- State-specific standards are available for Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies (if imported by your institution)
- ISTE Standards for Coaches, Computer Science Educators, Students, Teachers, and Administrators
- Your Canvas Administrator must import the standards before you can find and import them for a course
Learning Standards imported to the account or sub-account levels can be found within the Account Standards outcome group. However, all Learning Standards are always available as a separate outcome group for importing.
If finding an outcome does not display any Learning Standards, please contact your Canvas Administrator.
This lesson displays how to find a Learning Standards outcome in the classic Outcomes page view. If the Outcomes page in your course displays differently than the images in this lesson, learn how to find an outcome in a course within an account that has enabled the Improved Outcomes Management feature option.
