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

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-analysisOutput
- 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
