Academic Benchmarks

The maintenance of state standards has presented a challenge to the K-12 education vendor community. The creation of the infrastructure to effectively use the standards, not to mention the regular tracking and monitoring of any changes, distracts valuable time and resources away from the development and delivery of quality educational content.

Academic Benchmarks directly serves the K-12 education vendor community so they may better focus on serving their clients – districts, schools, teachers, and students. We commit to deliver the highest available level of quality and accuracy in K-12 standards and alignment services. We embrace our role as the trusted supplier and adviser to the most influential companies in K-12 education.

The Academic Benchmarks GUIDs are the glue that allows netTrekker to connect disparate content pieces, from various vendors, at the standards level. This connection provides a meaningful framework from which netTrekker builds partnerships and delivers solutions that bring value to our client schools and districts.

Academic Benchmarks enables the connections that empower and support our clients’ mission to deliver innovative, integrated, and standard-aligned solutions to the classroom teacher.

The leading K-12 education platform and content providers have selected Academic Benchmarks as the identification protocol for state, international, national, and local standards. As the accepted language used to help facilitate content’s relationship to standards, Academic Benchmarks serves as the foundation for a scalable infrastructure by which providers more effectively interact with their clients and partners in the education vendor community.

When an Academic Benchmarks client adopts the AB standards or aligns its content using the AB framework, they acquire the ability to connect all Academic Benchmarks clients, nearly 200 of the industry’s leaders.
