What’s different about the Academic Benchmarks digitized standards?

  • Rigorous collection process. Certica continuously reviews learning standards. Once documented, each standard is digitized and deconstructed into the most granular ideas, enriched with education metadata, and linked to related standards.
  • Broad content interoperability. Academic Benchmarks learning standards include a unique identifier, the AB GUID, that is widely adopted in edtech and considered the “standard for standards.”
  • Unrivaled availability. In addition to offering a direct connection to the standards, Certica partners with edtech market leaders, such as the Ed-Fi Alliance and Learnosity, who make Academic Benchmarks learning standards available in their edtech offerings.

Slide 1

“Before deciding to partner with Certica, Share My Lesson had limited assets and resources tagged to national standards, and no state-specific standards were available for tagging. Now with AB Connect, over 15,000 resources are being tagged with learning standards and users can quickly and easily find the content they need by searching a specified grade, subject, AFT topic, or a specific learning standard.”
