Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning

The Compendium of Academic Standards was developed by McREL in the late 1990’s and maintained through the early 2010’s. Funding for the project has since ended, and the site is no longer actively updated. For information on McREL’s current services for developing and analyzing standards, curriculum, instruction, and professional learning, please visit www.mcrel.org.
