Standards Formats

Standard Coding Systems

Examples by State:

• Texas: TEKS §110.11(b)(1)(A)

• California: CA.CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.1

• New York: NY-7.RL.1

• Common Core (adopted states): CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.G.A.1

Standard Components

Typical Structure:

• Subject area

• Grade level

• Domain/strand

• Standard number

• Sub-standard (if applicable)

Alignment Process

1. Content Analysis

Identify:

• Learning objectives

• Skills taught

• Content covered

• Assessment items

2. Standards Matching

Match to:

• Specific state standard codes

• Depth of Knowledge (DOK) levels

• Cognitive complexity

• Assessment emphasis

3. Coverage Mapping

Create:

• Lesson-to-standard maps

• Unit-to-standard maps

• Course-to-standard maps

• Assessment-to-standard maps

4. Gap Identification

Analyze:

• Which standards covered

• Which standards missing

• Depth of coverage

• Balance across domains

Multi-State Alignment

Crosswalk Creation

Common Scenarios:

• Textbook publisher (need 5-10 state alignments)

• Online course provider (serve multiple states)

• Curriculum company (national market)

Approach:

• Identify common core standards

• Map state-specific variations

• Note unique state requirements

• Create master alignment matrix

CLI Interface

Single state alignment

/standards.us-state-mapper --content "7th-grade-math-unit/" --state "Texas" --subject "mathematics"

Multiple states

/standards.us-state-mapper --content "science-course/" --states "CA,TX,NY,FL" --subject "science" --grade "7"

Generate report

/standards.us-state-mapper --curriculum "full-year-ela/" --state "Virginia" --report "school-board"

Crosswalk multiple states

/standards.us-state-mapper --crosswalk --states "TX,CA,NY,FL,IL" --subject "math" --grade "8"

Gap analysis

/standards.us-state-mapper --content "existing-curriculum/" --state "Ohio" --gap-analysis

Output

• State standards alignment map (by lesson, unit, course)

• Standard codes with descriptions

• Coverage percentages

• Gap analysis report

• Multi-state crosswalk matrix

• Curriculum correlation documents

Composition

Input from: /curriculum.design , /curriculum.develop-content , /curriculum.assess-design

Works with: /standards.crosswalk-mapper , /standards.gap-analysis , /standards.coverage-validator

Output to: Standards-aligned curriculum, compliance documentation

Exit Codes

• 0: Standards mapping complete

• 1: State not recognized

• 2: Subject/grade combination invalid

• 3: Insufficient content for mapping
