Alaska Standards Alignment: Science, Mathematics, and English/Language Arts
Forward Education's hands-on STEM kits are aligned to Alaska's adopted standards: the Alaska K-12 Science Standards (based on the Next Generation Science Standards with Alaska-specific revisions), the Alaska Mathematics Standards, the Alaska English/Language Arts Standards, and the CSTA Computer Science Standards. Alaska adapted its standards with state-specific wording, cultural contexts, and additional expectations, and our alignment uses Alaska's own codes and language exactly as published by the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development. 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 Alaska 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.
