What alignment score should I aim for?

Target 90%+ for high-stakes assessments. For general curriculum, 80%+ is acceptable with plans to close remaining gaps.

How do I determine partial alignment?

A standard is partially met when it is introduced but not practiced to mastery, or when only some aspects of a multi-part standard are covered.

Common Core (ELA/Math), Next Generation Science Standards, state-specific standards, and AP/IB frameworks.

Measure how well your curriculum or assessment aligns with required standards by tracking the proportion of standards addressed.

Alignment Score vs Total Required Standards

Standards alignment measures how completely your instruction or assessment covers the required learning standards.

Alignment = (Fully Met + 0.5 x Partially Met) / Total Standards x 100

Partially addressed standards receive half credit. This scoring identifies gaps where additional instruction or assessment items are needed.

An alignment score of 80% or higher is generally considered well-aligned. Below 70% indicates significant gaps.
