are standards curriculum
Curriculum is the program created by local school districts to teach students to learn that 2+2 =4, and why. Standards are statements. Curriculum includes many resources: activities, lessons, units, assessments, and can include publisher textbooks. Standards define what is to be learned by the end of a school year. Curriculum is the detailed plan for day to day teaching. In education terms, decisions about standards are made at the state level, defining for teachers, school leaders and parents what students are expected to know by the end of the year.
