Standards Alignment Mapper
Map curriculum to standards and generate compliance documentation
What You Can Do
This skill helps you correlate learning objectives, activities, and assessments to specific standards frameworks like Common Core or state standards. You can analyze standards documents, match curriculum content to multiple standards simultaneously, identify grade-level coverage, flag gaps in instructional coverage, and generate alignment matrices and compliance reports—all with Claude's review to ensure accuracy and reflect actual classroom practice.
Features
Claude analyzes standards documents and extracts measurable components for mapping
Correlate curriculum content to multiple standards frameworks simultaneously
Flag which standards lack instructional coverage in your current curriculum
Map which grade levels address which standards across your vertical curriculum
Create auditable documentation showing curriculum-to-standards relationships
Resolve conflicting interpretations when multiple standards frameworks apply
Generate documentation suitable for accreditation reviews and audits
Example Output
Example 1: Standards Gap Report
- Grade 3 Math: Addition and subtraction standards fully covered in Units 1-4
- Grade 3 Math: Fractions standard (1.2c) COVERAGE GAP — appears only in Unit 7 (insufficient depth)
- Recommendation: Integrate fractions into Units 5-6 for spiral reinforcement
Example 2: Alignment Matrix
| Curriculum Unit | Common Core Standard | State Standard | Grade | Coverage Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unit 2: Cells | 3-LS1-1 | NGSS.Life.3 | 3 | Full |
| Unit 2: Cells | 3-LS3-1 | NGSS.Life.5 | 3 | Partial |
Example 3: Compliance Statement This Grade 5 curriculum addresses 89% of required state ELA standards with full or substantial coverage. Two standards (writing types 2.3, 2.4) are addressed only at the introductory level; recommend enhancement in Grade 6.
