Missouri Curriculum Alignment

Forward Education's hands-on STEM kits are aligned to Missouri's adopted standards: the Missouri Learning Standards for Science, for Mathematics, and for English Language Arts (2016), and the CSTA Computer Science Standards. Our alignment uses Missouri's own grade-level and course expectations exactly as published by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. Each alignment was built by reviewing individual lesson activities against specific expectations, one lesson at a time, across all six products in our kit ecosystem. Teachers in Missouri 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.
