# Standards for an assessment

> Fetches all academic standards aligned to a specific assessment.

Returns the standards that this assessment evaluates. These alignments indicate which learning expectations the assessment is designed to measure.

Use this endpoint when you need to:
- See which standards an assessment evaluates
- Build standards-aligned assessments
- Track standards coverage in assessments
- Generate assessment standards reports

  title: Learning Commons Knowledge Graph REST API
  description: >
    REST API for accessing education knowledge graph data including academic
    standards, learning components, and curriculum information.


    **Key datasets:**

    - **Academic Standards**: Official state standards from all 50 US states
    sourced from 1EdTech's CASE Network

    - **Learning Components**: Granular, teachable skills that break down broad
    standards into actionable instructional units

    - **Standards crosswalks**: Connections between standards and frameworks

    - **Curriculum**: Structured course content including courses, lesson
    groupings (units, sections, modules), lessons, activities, and assessments
