# Related standards for a standard

> Fetches StandardsFrameworkItems that are related to the specified academic standard through the "relatesTo" relationship.

This endpoint retrieves academic standards that share meaningful conceptual or skill-based links with the given academic standard, without implying a specific sequence or prerequisite order. These lateral connections highlight associations that can inform instructional design, identify reinforcing concepts, or reveal thematic links across academic standards.

Use this endpoint when you need to:
- Find academic standards with related content or skills for integrated instruction
- Identify opportunities for reinforcing concepts across different academic standards
- Design cross-curricular or thematic units that connect related academic standards
- Discover alternative pathways or parallel concepts in curriculum planning

**Note:** Learning progression data is currently based on Student Achievement Partners' Coherence Map for Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics. Coverage for other subjects and frameworks may be limited.

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

  title: Learning Commons Knowledge Graph REST API
  description: >
    REST API for accessing education knowledge graph data including academic
    standards, learning components, and curriculum information.


    **Key datasets:**

    - **Academic Standards**: Official state standards from all 50 U.S. states
    sourced from 1EdTech's CASE Network

    - **Learning Components**: Granular, teachable skills that break down broad
    standards into actionable instructional units

    - **Standards Crosswalks**: Connections between standards and frameworks

    - **Curriculum**: Structured course content including courses, lesson
    groupings (units, sections, modules), lessons, activities, and assessments
