standards-us-state-mapper
Map curriculum to any US state standards framework, support all 50 states' unique standards, crosswalk between state standards, and generate state-specific alignment reports. Use when aligning to state education standards. Activates on "state standards", "TEKS", "state curriculum", or "standards alignment".
When & Why to Use This Skill
The US State Standards Mapper is a specialized tool designed to automate the alignment of educational curriculum with the specific standards of all 50 US states and territories. It simplifies the complex task of mapping content to frameworks like TEKS, CCSS, and NYSLS, while providing gap analysis and multi-state crosswalks to ensure instructional materials meet rigorous state-specific compliance requirements.
Use Cases
- Curriculum Alignment: Automatically map lesson plans, units, and learning objectives to specific state standard codes (e.g., TEKS in Texas or SOL in Virginia) to ensure educational compliance.
- Multi-State Content Development: Streamline the creation of textbooks or digital courses by generating crosswalk matrices that compare and align standards across multiple states simultaneously.
- Gap Analysis & Audit: Analyze existing curriculum to identify missing standards or areas of low coverage, generating detailed reports for instructional improvement and state assessment preparation.
- Compliance Reporting: Generate official standards-alignment documentation and coverage percentages for school board reviews, curriculum adoption processes, and administrative audits.

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
