Standards. Standards define what students are expected to know and be able to do at each level of education in order to, ultimately, be prepared for the rigors of college, careers and civic life.

Brain swelling is the leading cause of death from a brain injury. Time is a factor in treating brain swelling, so do not wait to see if symptoms appear before seeking help. Severe brain damage can occur if too much time lapses.
What is a traumatic brain injury? A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can range from a mild concussion to a severe head injury. It is caused by a blow to the head or body, a wound that breaks through the skull (such as from a gunshot), a fall, or another injury that jars or shakes the brain. This can cause bruising, swelling, or tearing of brain tissue. With rest, most people fully recover from a mild brain injury.
