Coverage you can show, not just claim.
Every lesson is tagged with the standards it teaches — with evidence for every tag. As students publish their projects, coverage fills in per class. No spreadsheet, no vibes.
Every alignment cites the step that earns it; anything below the confidence floor is dropped. A few honest tags beat many loose ones.
Your state's standards, natively
Pick your framework in settings and lessons come back tagged in your codes — a New Jersey teacher sees NJSLS, a Texas teacher sees TEKS.
- Cross-curricular by default — every lesson has students researching, writing, and coding, so a science lesson comes back tagged for science, literacy, CS, and information literacy.
- More states, continuously — email us if yours is missing and we'll prioritize it.
- Research-grounded — science guidance is externally checked against NGSS Evidence Statements, Webb's DOK, and the AAAS misconception research.
Competency-based, by construction
Students demonstrate the standard through work they build — projects, not bubble sheets. The evidence chain is simple:
Coverage fills in as you teach
Each classroom tracks the frameworks you picked — per standard, per student — no spreadsheet to keep.
- Earned, not clicked — a bar moves only when a student's project is submitted and published.
- Rolls up for admins — on school and district plans, coverage aggregates across teachers, classes, and buildings — see Schools & Districts →
Common questions
How do I know a tag is legitimate?
Every alignment carries evidence: it cites the exact storyboard step or build milestone that earns it, and alignments below the confidence floor are dropped. Tags are shown on the lesson preview so you can verify them before assigning.
When does a standard count as “covered”?
When a student's project is submitted and the teacher publishes it. Nothing counts automatically — the teacher's review is the gate, which is what makes the coverage report defensible.
What about writing standards specifically?
The storyboard's writing scaffolds are named writing moves — “state an opinion,” “use temporal words” — that map to specific Writing/Language standards through a fixed table, not AI judgment.
Which frameworks and states are supported?
NGSS, Common Core ELA and Math, CSTA, the C3 social studies framework, AASL, and ISTE nationally — plus native state views (Texas and New Jersey today, more continuously). Email support@elementari.com if yours is missing.
