LEARNING STANDARDS, TEACHING STANDARDS AND STANDARDS FOR SCHOOL
PRINCIPALS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Centre of Study for Policies and Practices in Education (CEPPE), Chile
OECD Education Working Papers No. 99
The study compares the development, characteristics and implementation of standards in different OECD
countries, focusing on three different levels for which standards can be developed: (i) students and their
learning, (ii) teachers and (iii) school principals and their expected performance. It analyses standards and
related policies in general while focusing on the specific approaches adopted in a number of OECD and partner
countries and regions, including: Australia (Queensland and Victoria), Brazil, Canada (British Columbia and
Quebec), Chile, England, Germany, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway; and the United States (California
and Texas). The text analyses information gathered during 2011.
The study has been developed with contributions from different research teams of the Centre of Study for Policies
and Practices in Education (CEPPE). Chapters about learning and teaching standards were developed by
Cristián Cox, Elisa De Padua and Lorena Meckes. The section on standards for school principals has been
developed by José Weinstein and Gonzalo Muñoz from Universidad Diego Portales and by Javiera Marfán, from
the Fundación Chile. Within the OECD, the preparation of this report was coordinated by Francisco Benavides
(now at UNICEF) and Beatriz Pont, with support from Rachel Linden and Sylvain Fraccola.
