The Standards Analysis report provides a comprehensive view of how standards are being addressed across your curriculum. This interactive report allows users to analyze standards coverage (by targeted and assessed standards) at both the unit and lesson level. With powerful filtering options and dynamic data visualizations, educators can easily monitor alignment by subject, benchmark level, and more.
Use the Filters Panel on the left to narrow your results by subject, grade, standards status, and more. The Toolbar at the top allows you to hide empty rows, customize visible columns, and switch display views (e.g., by Strand, Subject, or Course...). Explore the outcomes in the Report Table, where you’ll find detailed breakdowns of how standards are addressed and assessed at both the unit and lesson levels.
