Common Core-Specific Features
Standards Alignment
Automatically align lessons with specific CCSS standards for ELA and Math. Every activity includes standard codes (e.g., CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.5.2).
Learning Progressions
Follow CCSS learning progressions across grade levels. Build on prior knowledge and prepare students for next-grade expectations.
Grade-Level Expectations
Content automatically adjusted for grade-level complexity. Ensures vocabulary, sentence structure, and concepts match student development.
Assessment Integration
Create formative and summative assessments aligned with CCSS. Generate rubrics based on standard mastery levels and performance descriptors.
ELA & Math Support
Specialized tools for both ELA (Reading, Writing, Speaking & Listening, Language) and Math (all domains and clusters).
Differentiation Tools
Create tiered materials for students working below, at, or above grade level. Scaffold support while maintaining standard rigor.
