# Children of a standard

> Fetches StandardsFrameworkItems that are direct children of the specified academic standard through the "hasChild" relationship.

This endpoint retrieves academic standards that are hierarchically organized under the given academic standard. This allows you to navigate down the standards framework hierarchy from domains to clusters to individual academic standards, or from any parent grouping to its children.

Use this endpoint when you need to:
- Navigate down the standards framework hierarchy (e.g., from domain to academic standards)
- Get all academic standards within a specific grouping or cluster
- Build tree visualizations of standards framework structures
- Explore the organizational structure of a standards document

**Note:** This returns direct children only, not all descendants. To get all descendants, you'll need to traverse multiple levels.

The endpoint returns paginated results. Use the `limit` and `cursor` parameters to control the number of results returned.
