Recently, standards have become the currency of education reform efforts in the U.S. However, there is no international consensus on what constitutes "world-class" education. The New Standards Project has designed research to describe standards in other countries by using the case-study approach of ethnography to collect data (e.g., curricula, texts, exams student work, and professional views). The review/analysis of the data is organized by a set of fundamental questions, the answers to which constitute a context utilized account of what students are expected to know and be able to do.
