"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
