Aligned overall
The problem
Standards alignment is heavy, manual work. Your team spends weeks searching through curriculum materials to identify where each standard is addressed and how it's being taught.
The biggest cost is time. Time your team should be spending on the work that matters: teaching, building, reviewing, leading.
Customization
Built around how your team thinks about alignment.
Not every team defines alignment the same way.
Some teams want strict, evidence-backed alignment that survives audit. Others want broader coverage maps that surface every place a standard is touched. Some need DOK levels marked. Some need rigor tagged separately from content match.
Align is built to be tailored. Tell us how your team thinks about alignment, and that becomes the rulebook the system runs on.
What you can customize
These are the levers that adjust to your team's definition.
- Match criteria Strict, moderate, or broad. Your definition of "aligned."
- Evidence depth Page-level, paragraph-level, or quoted-passage level.
- Coverage tags DOK, rigor, scaffolded vs. assessed, primary vs. supporting.
- Output format Tables, heatmaps, narrative reports, or your existing template.
Sample outputs
What an alignment looks like.
Three sample outputs Align produces. All are fully customizable. These are starting points, not the only shapes Align outputs take.
01
Standards coverage map
A direct view of what's aligned. Each standard with every resource that supports it.

Sample Grade 4 ELA · Common Core
A direct view of what's aligned. Each standard on the left, every resource that aligns to it on the right. Useful when teams need a fast read on coverage breadth.

|---|---|
| CCSS.RL.4.1Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly. | Unit 2: Lesson 5: "Close Reading: Stone Fox" · Student Edition, p. 42 Unit 2: Lesson 8: Text Evidence Practice · Workbook, pp. 28–31 Unit 4: Lesson 3: Inferring from Detail · Teacher Guide, pp. 96–98 Assessment 2.A: Reading Response · Items 4, 7, 11 |
| CCSS.RL.4.2Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text. | Unit 1: Lesson 6: Identifying Theme · Student Edition, pp. 18–22 Unit 3: Lesson 9: Theme Across Genres · Workbook, pp. 54–57 Unit 5: Poetry Anchor Text · Teacher Guide, p. 142 |

| Standard | Aligned resource | Match | Evidence from content |
|---|---|---|---|
| CCSS.RL.4.1Refer to details when explaining what the text says explicitly.Met across 2 resources | Unit 2: Lesson 5Student Edition, p. 42 | Full | Lesson includes a direct prompt requiring students to cite textual evidence: "Find three details from the passage that show how the character feels." Followed by guided practice with scoring rubric tied to evidence quality. |
| Unit 2: Lesson 8Workbook, pp. 28–31 | Full | Text Evidence Practice activity provides four passages with scaffolded questions requiring students to quote directly from the text. Includes a self-check rubric. | |
| CCSS.RL.4.2Determine a theme from details in the text.Met across 2 resources | Unit 1: Lesson 6Student Edition, pp. 18–22 | Partial | Theme identification taught through one fiction text. Standard expects coverage across story, drama, or poem. Drama and poetry not addressed here. |
| Unit 5: Poetry AnchorTeacher Guide, p. 142 | Full | Poem-specific theme identification taught with three short poems. Each pairs with a worked example showing how to extract theme from imagery and figurative language. | |
| CCSS.RL.4.7Make connections between text and a visual or oral presentation.Gap · no resources | Gap identifiedNo coverage in Units 1–6 | Gap | No lesson currently addresses the visual/oral presentation comparison required by this standard. Flagged for content development. |
Standard rollup
- Met — at least one full match exists
- Partial — only partial matches across resources
- Gap — no aligned resources
Per resource
- Full — standard explicitly taught and assessed
- Partial — coverage exists with noted limits
- Gap — no aligned content in this resource

Each resource sits at the top of its own block. Underneath, every standard it aligns to, with the degree of match and the evidence directly from the lesson. The view a curriculum team wants when defending a resource's value or planning revisions.
| Standard | Match | Evidence from this resource |
|---|---|---|
| CCSS.RL.4.1Refer to details when explaining what the text says. | Full | Lesson opens with a direct prompt: "Find three details from the passage that show how the character feels." Guided practice follows with a scoring rubric tied to evidence quality. |
| CCSS.RL.4.3Describe in depth a character, setting, or event. | Full | Character analysis activity walks students through identifying traits, motivations, and changes across the passage. Includes a graphic organizer for tracking character development. |
| CCSS.RL.4.4Determine the meaning of words and phrases as used in a text. | Full | Vocabulary work targets four words from the passage with context-based meaning questions. Practice items require students to use surrounding text to infer meaning. |
| CCSS.RL.4.6Compare and contrast point of view from which different stories are narrated. | Partial | Lesson identifies the narrator's point of view in this single text, but does not include a second text for comparison. Pair with Unit 3: Lesson 9 to fully meet. |
| Standard | Match | Evidence from this resource |

| CCSS.RL.4.2Determine a theme from details in the text. | Full | Poem-specific theme identification taught with three short poems. Each pairs with a worked example showing how to extract theme from imagery and figurative language. |
| CCSS.RL.4.5Explain major differences between poems, drama, and prose. | Partial | Poetry structural elements covered well. Drama is mentioned in passing but not taught alongside poetry and prose for explicit comparison. Recommended: pair with a drama excerpt in this unit. |
