Since 1991, New Standards has been a leader in the standards movement. It has developed and published a set of internationally benchmarked performance standards in English language arts, mathematics, science, and applied learning. New Standards has also pioneered performance-based assessments, developing the New Standards Reference Examinations and a portfolio system to help teachers build a standards-based curriculum.

New Standards is a joint project of NCEE and the University of Pittsburgh. Much of the standards and assessment development work was done in collaboration with more than 20 states, six large school districts and more than 600 teachers. States have used the standards to judge the quality of their own standards. As early literacy became a national priority in the 1990's, New Standards created pre K to grade 3 standards for reading and writing, speaking and listening, and English language learners as foundations for literacy success in the primary grades.

In the mid-1990's, New Standards established a partnership with Harcourt Educational Measurement to distribute and score the reference exams.

Today, educators in nearly all 50 states use the New Standards performance standards and assessments to help define end goals for student learning and measure progress toward meeting them.
