Ohio standards alignment

• American Government · Content Statement 9

  Partially covered

  The constitutional amendments known collectively as the Reconstruction Amendments extended new constitutional protections to African Americans, though the struggle to fully achieve equality would continue.

  Covered by

  • Citizenship & Naturalization Basics
  • The Great Migration: How Six Million People Remade America

  • · Citizenship & Naturalization Basics, Lesson 1 · Who is a U.S. citizen? Birthright and the 14th Amendment
  • · Citizenship & Naturalization Basics, Lesson 3 · Becoming a citizen: naturalization eligibility
  • · The Great Migration, Lesson 2 · The Jim Crow South: what people were fleeing
  • · The Great Migration, Lesson 12 · The long shadow, and the return

  What we do and don't cover: Partial: the Fourteenth Amendment's birthright-citizenship clause is taught directly, and the continued struggle is taught through Jim Crow and its long shadow. The Thirteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and a full Reconstruction-Amendments treatment are not worked.

• American Government · Content Statement 15

  Partially covered

  Historically, the United States has struggled with majority rule and the extension of minority rights. As a result of this struggle, the government has increasingly extended civil rights to marginalized groups and broadened opportunities for participation.

  Covered by

  • The Bill of Rights: Know Your Rights
  • The Supreme Court & the Judicial Branch
  • The Great Migration: How Six Million People Remade America

  • · Know Your Rights, Lesson 2 · Freedom of speech: what's protected, and what isn't
  • · Know Your Rights, Lesson 5 · Speech and religion at school, and online
  • · Know Your Rights, Lesson 7 · Police stops, reasonable suspicion, and your privacy
  • · The Supreme Court & the Judicial Branch, Lesson 5 · Writing the opinion: majority, concurrence, dissent, and precedent
  • · The Great Migration, Lesson 11 · Politics & civil rights

  What we do and don't cover: Partial: the majority-rule-versus-minority-rights tension is taught (when rights may be limited, how precedent expands them) and the Great Migration lesson shows the extension of participation to a marginalized group. It is not a systematic survey of civil-rights expansion.

• American History · Content Statement 12

  Covered

  Following Reconstruction, old political and social structures reemerged and racial discrimination was institutionalized.

  Covered by

  • The Great Migration: How Six Million People Remade America

  • · The Great Migration, Lesson 2 · The Jim Crow South: what people were fleeing
  • · The Great Migration, Lesson 12 · The long shadow, and the return

  Note: The institutionalization of racial discrimination — the Jim Crow South people fled — is taught directly, together with its long shadow.

• American History · Content Statement 18

  Partially covered

  Movements such as the Harlem Renaissance, African-American migration, women's suffrage and Prohibition all contributed to social change.

  Covered by

  • · The Great Migration, Lesson 5 · Arrival: Chicago, Detroit, New York, and the Pacific Northwest
  • · The Great Migration, Lesson 9 · Faith, family & mutual aid
  • · Ep 8 · Prohibition, the Experiment That Failed

  What we do and don't cover: Partial: three of the standard's four named movements are taught in depth — the Harlem Renaissance, the African-American Great Migration, and Prohibition (causes, rhetoric, and results). Women's suffrage is not taught.

• American History · Content Statement 27

  Partially covered

  Following World War II, the United States experienced a struggle for racial and gender equality and the extension of civil rights.

  • · The History of Unions, Lesson 17 · Randolph to Memphis: the labor half of the civil-rights movement
  • · The Great Migration, Lesson 11 · Politics & civil rights

  What we do and don't cover: Partial: the racial-equality struggle is taught from the labor angle most curricula skip — A. Philip Randolph to Memphis, and the Black urban vote the Migration created. Gender equality is not taught.

• World Geography · Content Statement 8

  Partially covered

  Physical, cultural, economic, and political factors contribute to human migrations (e.g., drought, religious conflicts, job opportunities, immigration laws).

  Covered by

  • The Great Migration: How Six Million People Remade America
  • BVC: Coffee — The Daily Global Connection
  • BVC: Chocolate — Food of the Gods

  What we do and don't cover: Partial: one migration is worked in depth — the Great Migration's push-and-pull factors, streams, and arrival cities — plus climate pressure on growing regions. It is not a general treatment of world migration.

• World Geography · Content Statement 9

  Partially covered

  Human migrations impact physical and human systems (e.g., stress on food supplies in refugee camps, removal of natural obstacles to movement, harvest productivity and migrant labor, calls for an official language in countries with high immigration, reduction in city tax revenues due to urban emigration).

  Covered by

  • The Great Migration: How Six Million People Remade America

  • · The Great Migration, Lesson 11 · Politics & civil rights
  • · The Great Migration, Lesson 4 · Routes and railroads: the three streams
  • · The Great Migration, Lesson 5 · Arrival: Chicago, Detroit, New York, and the Pacific Northwest
  • · The Great Migration, Lesson 9 · Faith, family & mutual aid

  What we do and don't cover: Partial: the human-systems impact is taught for one case — the Black urban populations and civil-rights politics the Great Migration created. The physical-systems impacts the standard lists are not taught.

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 Ohio mathematics standard.
• Science — nothing, on purpose (and Ohio is not an NGSS state). We verified against Ohio's own 2018 science document rather than assuming: Ohio writes its own science standards, not NGSS. But Ohio publishes its HIGH-SCHOOL science courses (Environmental Science, Physical Geology, Biology, Chemistry, Physics) as bare topic outlines — for example the entire climate item reads only "ENV.GP.3: Climate change" — with the full content statements "being updated ... once the revised Model Curriculum is adopted." Only Ohio's K-8 grades carry full-sentence content statements, at the wrong grade level for this adult catalog. Our rule is verbatim-or-nothing and the finder rejects standard text under ~40 characters, so there is no citable Ohio high-school science standard to map. The climate-and-resources content the NGSS states pick up through HS-ESS3-1 maps instead to Ohio social studies (Modern World History CS 28, Contemporary World Issues CS 11, World Geography CS 4).
• American Government standards checked and rejected. CS 2 (political parties, interest groups, and the media as civic-involvement channels — our media-literacy work is consumer protection, not political-media analysis), CS 6 (the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers framing the ratification debate, as texts), CS 10 (the suffrage amendments as civil-rights extensions, taught as constitutional law), and CS 21 (the Federal Reserve and monetary policy) are not genuinely taught, so we do not claim them.
• Economics — the whole financial-literacy half, and the market-mechanics standards. Working and earning (CS 11-12), saving and investing (CS 16-19), credit and debt (CS 20-22), risk management and insurance (CS 23-25), the personal-finance planning standards (CS 13-15), the economic-data and market-competition standards (CS 1-3, 6-7) were all checked and are not taught. Ohio's CS 4, by contrast, is the economic-systems standard Arizona and California lacked, and we claim it.
• American History beyond the labor, migration, Prohibition, and New Deal-labor standards. American History is a 1877-to-present survey (Content Statements 1-33). This catalog teaches U.S. history in specific places — the Gilded Age labor movement, Jim Crow, the Great Migration and Harlem Renaissance, Prohibition, and the Wagner Act — not as a survey, so the imperialism/foreign-affairs, world-war, Cold War, and post-Cold War content statements are not claimed.
• The AI-literacy ladder, the language courses, and Learning How to Learn — deferred, not denied. Ohio's closest frameworks (Computer Science, World Languages, Technology) have not been fetched and verified this pass. Our rule is fetch-or-don't-cite, so these courses carry no Ohio claims here.
