Prerequisites for a standard

Fetches the prerequisite StandardsFrameworkItems for the specified academic standard - the foundational standards it builds from via the "buildsTowards" relationship.

These are the foundational skills or concepts that contribute to mastery of the given academic standard (each prerequisite buildsTowards the given standard). The relationship is directional but does not require strict prerequisite order - students don't need to fully master prerequisites before engaging with the given academic standard.

Use this endpoint when you need to:

• Identify foundational academic standards students should be familiar with before tackling a target academic standard
• Trace backward through a learning progression to understand dependencies
• Design remediation or review activities based on prerequisite skills
• Map out a coherent learning pathway for students

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.
