Managing Content Standard Publications

A content standard is a broad statement that defines the knowledge, concepts, and skills that students should acquire at each grade level. A SOCK (standing for Some Other Category of Knowledge) is similar to a standard. ITS uses content standards and SOCKs, where applicable, to align items and create test blueprints, which are then used by TDS to select items on adaptive tests.

You can manage content standards and SOCKs in ITS using the link that appears when you hover over the Master Admin menu in the banner.
