Standards Alignment
Know Your Standards Are Covered. Before It Matters.
Preloaded standards, quick selection and clear coverage views for every framework your school uses.
Which standards are fully covered, partly covered or missing? With Edusfere's curriculum standards alignment, you can answer that at any moment, for any subject, grade or framework.
Alignment that's assumed isn't alignment that's shown
Most classroom work isn't checked against the standards it's meant to teach, and much of it falls short.
of the time, students showed mastery of grade-level standards on their assignments

Down to Every Lesson
From Course Standards to Lesson Objectives
Edusfere tracks alignment at the course, unit and lesson level. When planning a lesson, teachers pick objectives from the unit's list or write new ones, so every lesson stays tied to the bigger plan. That gives you a clear line from standards to curriculum, units, lessons and any assessments teachers include in their plans, all the way to the evidence you show reviewers.
- Alignment tracked at course, unit and lesson level
- Learning objectives chosen from the unit's objectives in a click
- Every lesson connects back to the curriculum map
Coverage at a Glance
Find the Gaps Before the Reviewers Do
Gaps build up quietly: a concept rushed in one grade, or a standard tagged but barely taught. Open any framework to see exactly which standards are covered, and where, across four levels: the framework, the course, its units and its lessons.
- Four alignment levels side by side: framework, course, unit and lesson
- Filter by grade, course or standards applied to courses
- See which standards have too little coverage
