The problem
Academic standards define what students are expected to know at each grade level, and they shape curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Edtech developers align their products to these standards, but a standards tag is often a claim, not a guarantee:- A standard is rarely a single skill
- Most bundle several sub-skills (i.e., learning components)
- A question could address one learning component and ignore the rest for a given standard
- Standards vary by jurisdiction
- A skill emphasized in one framework may be scoped differently, or absent entirely, in another
- Alignment has to be judged against the framework in question, not a generic notion of a standard
What we’re building
Our Standards evaluators assess whether educational content aligns with a given standard’s learning components.| Output | Description |
|---|---|
| Fine-grained, component-level data | Validates tagging and trust that an item measures the skill it claims to |
| Coverage maps | Surface exactly which standards, and which learning components, a question bank covers |
| Reasoning and feedback for every judgment | Gives actionable feedback on turning looks aligned into is aligned |
| Evaluator | Description |
|---|---|
| Math | Judges whether a math question aligns to math standards in a supported jurisdiction |
| Literacy Coming soon | Judges whether an English Language Arts question algins to ELA standards in a supported jurisdiction |
