Standards-Based Roadmapping
Every great course starts with a strong foundation. Here’s how we align lessons to learning standards — step by step.
1. Import the Full Standards Document
We begin by pulling in the complete set of state or curriculum standards for the course. These serve as the framework for every instructional decision.
2. Organize by Segment
Units are distributed across course segments — such as Quarters, Semesters, or custom terms — based on pacing and instructional flow.
3. Group Related Standards
Related benchmarks are grouped together into logical lesson-level topics. This creates coherence, avoids duplication, and supports thematic instruction.
4. Build Lessons Around Standards
Each lesson in ClassToday is directly tied to its relevant standards. Activities, discussions, and assessments are built to meet those targets clearly and effectively.
5. Maintain Clarity and Accountability
This approach keeps lesson planning focused and compliant without sacrificing creativity or flexibility. You’ll always know exactly why each lesson exists — and what it supports.
6. Align Instruction with Intent
The result is a course roadmap that reflects not only the required standards, but also the teaching goals of the individual educator.
