Alabama Curriculum Alignment

Forward Education's hands-on STEM kits are aligned to Alabama's adopted standards: the Alabama Course of Study: Science (2023), the Alabama Course of Study: Mathematics (2019), the Alabama Course of Study: English Language Arts (2021), and the CSTA Computer Science Standards. Our alignment uses Alabama's own codes and language exactly as published in the Alabama Courses of Study by the Alabama State Department of Education. Each alignment was built by reviewing individual lesson activities against specific standards, one lesson at a time, across all six products in our kit ecosystem. Teachers in Alabama can confidently connect our resources to the standards they are already teaching.

How we count: Each percentage reflects how many individual standards are addressed by at least one lesson, project, or tutorial within that product. Because many of our activities are interdisciplinary, multiple lessons may align to the same standard, so your students will often have more than one opportunity to practice each expectation throughout the kit.
