# Claude connector

> Use the Claude connector to access Knowledge Graph data.

Use the Claude connector to reference Knowledge Graph's comprehensive K-12 education data directly in your conversations.

Instead of manually looking up standards codes or scanning lengthy documents, you can ask Claude questions about what a standard entails, how it's broken down into granular skills, and the prerequisites it requires.

## Tools

The Claude connector uses 3 tools to make curriculum planning, lesson development, and standards alignment much more efficient:

| Tool                                       | Description                                                                                                                                 |
| :----------------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `find_standard_statement`                  | Look up standards codes relevant to your state                                                                                              |
| `find_learning_components_from_standard`   | Break broad standards down into specific teachable skills to target where students are struggling and to create focused practice activities |
| `find_standards_progression_from_standard` | Identify the sequence of standards for a student's learning journey                                                                         |

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enable the Claude connector">
    Set up the [Knowledge Graph integration in Claude](https://claude.ai/directory/6e94f5fc-5dc8-4f0a-9fcf-741bcab4e034) ↗ from the Claude connector directory.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a standard">
    Ask Claude to focus on a particular standard code (e.g., `5.NBT.A.2` or
    `RL.4.1`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate the content you need">
    Lesson ideas:

    <ul>
      <li>"I'm a teacher in Iowa. Generate 3 project ideas that address W\.3.4."</li>
      <li>"Create a hands-on activity for my 5th graders that covers 5.NF.B.6 in Maine."</li>
    </ul>

    Assessment questions:

    <ul>
      <li>"Today in class, we will be covering the Texas standard 111.40.c.3.F. Create an exit ticket for my students."</li>
      <li>"Make a quick formative assessment for California standard 3.MD.C.7."</li>
    </ul>

    Ways to support struggling students:

    <ul>
      <li>"I am a 4th-grade teacher in California. A student in my new class is struggling with the concepts related to 4.OA.A.3. Which prior standards should I focus on with them?"</li>
      <li>"What foundational skills should a student master before we tackle Illinois Standard 6.RP.A.1?"</li>
    </ul>

    Extra practice questions:

    <ul>
      <li>"I am an 8th-grade teacher in Maryland. Create extra practice problems to address the Learning Components of 8.F.B.4."</li>
    </ul>
  </Step>
