In a Subject

In the Standards drop-down, you can search for standards by name (e.g., KC-1.1.I.A), category (e.g., CCSS), or description. If you select the Standard Set option within Subjects, you will only see those that align with your preferences.

When you type in characters that match one of our standards, the drop-down will populate with matching standards. 

You can select all the standards that you want to filter to. When you select a standard via checkbox, that standard will appear in a list below the search matches.

Note: Visit your subject's Overview tab to see which standards are in your subject.

[Pro-tip]: Toggle on standard descriptions by clicking the Show Descriptions button on the bottom left of the search bar.

Revealing the solution to view standards alignment

You can click on specific questions and show the answer explanation to see the standards alignment. To view a question's standards, follow these steps:

  1. Click into the desired question

  2. Click Show Solution to reveal the detailed explanations

  3. Scroll down to find the listed standards

  4. Hover over a standard button to read an in-depth description of the standard

[Pro-tip]: Click on the standard to reveal a list of all questions in the subject aligned to that standard

Searching for similar questions from a question

Click on a standard (or tag) within a specific question to filter the questions in the subject to only those that correspond to that standard or tag respectively.

Searching Tip!

All Albert searches are based on exact matches. This means that the broader your search term, the more likely you are to find results. For example, if you search for the label "HS-LS1-1," you will find only results with that specific label. If, however, you search just "HS-LS," you will see results for "HS-LS1-1" and "HS-LS3-1."
