New Hampshire standards alignment

• SS:HI:12:4.4

  • · Mexico, Lesson 10 · The Rapid Response Mechanism: an international labor rule with teeth
  • · Mexico, Lesson 12 · The limits, honestly: the cases the United States lost

  • · Ep 6 · Why Volcanic Soil Only

  What we do and don't cover: Partial: both of the standard's named examples are reached — NAFTA (through NAFTA→USMCA and its labor-side Rapid Response Mechanism) in depth, and mercantilism through the colonial commodity systems — plus the modern global value chains that show where goods grow and who earns from them.

• SS:WH:12:4.1

  Partially covered

  Analyze various systems of distributing wealth, e.g., feudalism, free market economies, or the welfare state.

  Covered by

  • BVC: Guayusa & Kola Nut — Forest Wisdom
  • BVC: Kava — The Root of Peace
  • BVC: My Daily Altar — Season Synthesis
  • BVC: Coffee — The Daily Global Connection
  • BVC: Tea — The Way of Tea
  • BVC: Chocolate — Food of the Gods

  • · Ep 5 · The Reciprocity Economy
  • · Ep 6 · Ceremony Meets the Market
  • · Ep 7 · Two Ways of Doing Economics
  • · Ep 1 · Follow the Money: Bean to Cup
  • · Ep 2 · Who Gets Paid, Tea and Coffee Compared
  • · Ep 3 · The Commodity Trap

  • · Ep 14 · Pattern 3: Labor Captures the Smallest Share (the smile curve)
  • · Ep 21 · The Smile Curve, Confirmed
  • · Ep 7 · Who Captures the Value

  What we do and don't cover: Partial: two systems of distributing wealth are contrasted directly and at length — traditional (reciprocity) economies and free-market economies — and how a market value chain actually distributes wealth is taught through the smile curve and the commodity trap. Feudalism and the welfare state are not taught.

• SS:WH:12:4.2

  Partially covered

  Analyze the impact of the Industrial Revolution around the world, e.g., the emergence of the factory system or the search for markets in Asia and Africa.

  Covered by

  • BVC: Tea — The Way of Tea
  • BVC: Guayusa & Kola Nut — Forest Wisdom
  • BVC: Kava — The Root of Peace
  • The History of Unions: America and the World

  • · Ep 2 · Who Grows the Tea (colonial and plantation labour)

  • · Ep 6 · Kava Governs
  • · Ep 17 · The Opium Wars
  • · Ep 20 · The Ban Against the Evidence
  • · Ep 17 · Lin Zexu's Letter
  • · The History of Unions, Lesson 4 · Two ideas about who a union is for: the Knights and the AFL
  • · The History of Unions, Lesson 5 · Haymarket, 1886
  • · The History of Unions, Lesson 6 · Homestead, Pullman, and the weapon that actually broke strikes

  What we do and don't cover: Partial: both of the standard's named examples are taught — the search for markets in Asia and Africa through European imperialism and the Opium Wars, and the factory system through Gilded Age industrialization and its labor movement. A general treatment of the Industrial Revolution is not the arc.

What we don't claim

A standards page is only worth reading if the omissions are honest too. We looked at these and left them out:

• Mathematics — nothing. This catalog does no mathematics instruction, so it meets no New Hampshire College and Career Ready (Common Core) mathematics standard.
• Science — one partial claim, via the shared NGSS file. New Hampshire adopted the NGSS in November 2016 as its science standards, so our one honest science claim — HS-ESS3-1, partial — comes through the shared NGSS mapping with the limit stated on the entry. There is no laboratory work, investigation, or modelling in this catalog, and we will not claim more.
• New Hampshire's own state structure is taught more fully than any one 2006 indicator captures. New Hampshire Civics teaches the Constitution of 1784 and 'Live Free or Die,' the 400-member House of Representatives (roughly one representative per 3,300 residents, legislators paid $100 a year — a citizen legislature), the elected five-member Executive Council that shares executive power with a 2-year Governor who has no Lieutenant Governor, the appointed-to-70 judiciary confirmed by that Council, the first-in-the-nation presidential primary, the absence of any statewide citizen initiative, and the town meeting — all from New Hampshire's own sources. SS:CV:12:2.1 (the New Hampshire Constitution), SS:CV:12:2.3 (the New Hampshire judiciary), and SS:CV:12:1.1 (structures at various levels) host most of it, but the 2006 Civics indicators are deliberately example-based concept statements, not a New Hampshire-government checklist, so the Executive Council, the 400-member House, and the first-in-the-nation primary have no code of their own.
• The Civics indicators on world affairs and foreign policy. The entire third Civics standard — SS:CV:12:3.1 (the United States' response to environmental, economic, and technological issues in world affairs), SS:CV:12:3.2 (the relationship between domestic and foreign policy), and SS:CV:12:3.3 (the impact of the United States' contributions to democratic ideals on world affairs) — is about the United States in the world. The catalog's civics is domestic structure and participation, so we do not claim these.
• The Geography strand — checked, thin overlap, not claimed. The Grades 9-12 Geography strand (SS:GE:12) is human-environment and spatial geography. The catalog's growing-belts and resource-map content is geographic, but its overlap with the Geography indicators is adjacency-level at best, so we do not stretch it into a claim; where that content maps squarely — how trade and commodity distribution shape economies — it is claimed under the World History and Economics strands instead.
• The US/NH History, World History, and Economics indicators we checked and rejected. Across the three history/economics strands, the indicators the courses do not genuinely teach are not claimed: in US/NH History, SS:HI:12:1.2 and 1.4 (religion in political life; sectionalism), all of SS:HI:12:2 (foreign policy and international relations), SS:HI:12:3.1/3.3/3.4 (intellectual movements, group influences on the arts, the spread of American culture), SS:HI:12:4.1/4.3 (westward movement; technology simplifying/complicating work), and SS:HI:12:5.1-5.4 (unity vs. pluralism, gender roles, attitudes toward diversity, social class); in World History, SS:WH:12:1.1-1.3/1.5, all of SS:WH:12:2.2/2.4 and 3, SS:WH:12:4.4/4.5, and all of SS:WH:12:5; and in Economics, the market-mechanics (SS:EC:12:1, 2.1/2.2/2.4/2.5), business-cycle (SS:EC:12:3), monetary/fiscal (SS:EC:12:4), comparative-advantage and currency (SS:EC:12:5.1/5.2), and personal-finance (SS:EC:12:6) standards. Where the catalog's globalization content could touch two near-duplicate indicators, it is claimed once under the closest fit rather than padded.
• The AI-literacy ladder, the language courses, and Learning How to Learn — deferred, not denied. New Hampshire's closest frameworks for these (its digital-literacy/computer-science and world-languages standards) have not been fetched and verified yet. Our rule is fetch-or-don't-cite, so these courses carry no New Hampshire claims this pass.
