Standards crosswalking shows you the equivalent state-specific standard for a Common Core State Standard (CCSS) when a matching standard is available.
For example, if a resource is tagged with a Common Core math standard about counting from 1–20, standards crosswalking may also show the matching standard from your state.
Standards crosswalking helps you view the standards that are most relevant to your location without manually comparing different standards systems.
Which states does standards crosswalking apply to?
Crosswalking can only occur between CCSS and state-specific standards that are closely aligned with CCSS, allowing for an accurate translation between the two.
Unfortunately, since Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and Virginia Standards of Learning (VA SOL) are not structured similarly to CCSS, we’re unable to provide translations from CCSS to TEKS and VA SOL. However, Sellers can still tag their resources with CCSS, TEKS, and VA SOL.
How did TPT arrive at these crosswalks?
We’ve worked closely with a third party company to ensure high confidence in the crosswalked standards that are being displayed. Crosswalking will only occur in the following instances:
1. If the state-specific standards are similar enough to CCSS to accurately translate, and
2. If the concept and/or text of the standard is an exact match from CCSS to the state-specific standards.
If crosswalking cannot occur for the reasons listed above, the originally tagged CCSS will still be visible on the product page.
We’re using location data to ensure that you see the state-specific standards that are pertinent to you. You can update your location at any time on your profile page.
Where can I find crosswalked standards?
You’ll be able to see crosswalked standards on the product page of resources that are tagged with CCSS where translations are possible. You can toggle between viewing the original CCSS tags and their state-specific standard in two places:
You can toggle between seeing CCSS and your state-specific standards in the product info section.
Why don’t crosswalked standards appear for me?
You may not see crosswalked standards for a few reasons:
1. Crosswalking only occurs in certain states.
2. Crosswalking will only occur if the state-specific standards are similar enough to CCSS to accurately translate, and if the concept and/or text of the standard is an exact match from CCSS to the state-specific standards.
In order to keep crosswalking as accurate as possible we’ve opted to only surface crosswalks that meet the above requirements, rather than surface a crosswalked standard that is only somewhat related.
What if I don’t want to see crosswalks?
Your state-specific standards will be visible by default. You can toggle between viewing the state-specific standards or the original CCSS tags on the product page.
What about international standards?
CCSS are not translated into international standards. If you’re a user outside the US, you’ll only see the original standards tags that have been added by the Seller.
Does standards crosswalking apply to all resource types?
Yes, standards crosswalking will be available for any resource type.
