"We have adopted the distinction between content standards and performance standards that is articulated in Promises to Keep: Creating High Stnadrds for American Students (1993), a report commissioned by the National Education Goals Panel. Content Standards specify 'what students should know and be able to do,' performance standards go the next step to specify 'how good is good enough.' These standards are designed to make content standards operational by answering the question: how good is good enough?" - National Center on Education and the Economy, 1997
