JSON representations of the ACT College Readiness Standards

Why?

ACT College Readiness Standards are relevant to 8-12 education. In order for K12 EdTech companies to use these standards in their apps, they need machine readable formats.

Guiding Principles on the Schema

• Each subject should be it's own document We will separate the subjects into separate files.

Example

Here's a sample:
