Standards: US State Mapper

Map educational content to any US state’s educational standards and generate compliance reports.

When to Use

• Aligning curriculum to state standards
• Multi-state textbook or course development
• State assessment preparation
• Standards reporting for administrators
• Curriculum adoption processes

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
