Designed for high school. Below is every Kansasstandard these courses cover: the exact code, the standard's own words, and the lesson that covers it. Where we only cover part of a standard, it says so, and says which part.

Read this before you rely on it

  • We mapped this ourselves. This alignment was done by Learn.WitUS against the published standards. It has not been reviewed, endorsed, or approved by Kansas's education authority or by anyone else.
  • Every code was fetched, then transcribed word for word. Each framework below shows the date its codes and text were retrieved from the publisher.
  • Standards get revised.A code can be renumbered or its wording changed without notice, and some states publish more than one live edition of the same document. Confirm anything you file against your own jurisdiction's current requirements, using the source links below.
  • We would rather claim less. Where the courses only partly cover a standard, this page says partially covered and explains the gap. Standards we considered and could not honestly claim are listed at the bottom, with the reasons.

Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy

Grades 11-12 · Common Core State Standards Initiative · retrieved 2026-07-13

Kansas adopted the Common Core State Standards for English language arts as the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards for English Language Arts (KCCRS) and — unlike Oklahoma — never withdrew them; KSDE's own History, Government, and Social Studies document (2013, p. 101) calls the KCCRS “often referred to as the Common Core.” Kansas reproduces the CCSS text VERBATIM but prints the Reading/Writing for Literacy strands under the bare CCSS codes (RH.11-12.6, WHST.11-12.7, …) without the “CCSS.ELA-Literacy” web namespace, so the codes here are aliased to Kansas's printed bare form. We claim no mathematics standards.

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:

  • Kansas assesses SKILLS, not content — so Kansas's own structure has no code of its own. Kansas's standards are the five thematic Standards and their benchmarks, and KSDE states outright that assessments focus on the Standards and Benchmarks, not specific content, and that the government course's content outline is not a list of required items. So Kansas — unlike Oklahoma or Utah — publishes NO standard that names its plural executive, its 125-member House and 40-member Senate, its merit-selection Supreme Court, its absence of a citizen initiative, its strong home rule, or its 105 counties. The Kansas Civics flagship teaches all of these in depth, but as the CONTENT through which the benchmark skills are exercised; we map them onto the benchmarks (above) rather than inventing content codes Kansas does not publish.
  • Standard 3 (beliefs, ideas, and diversity) — not claimed. Standard 3 and its benchmarks (3.1-3.4) ask students to recognize, analyze, investigate, and apply the significant beliefs, contributions, and ideas of diverse peoples and groups. The Kansas Civics flagship and the general civics ladder teach government structure and civic practice, not a survey of diverse beliefs and contributions, so we do not claim Standard 3. (The catalog's history courses touch this content in other states' content-bearing frameworks, but Kansas's skills framework is the wrong home for it here.)
  • The other benchmarks under Standards 1, 2, 4, and 5 — not claimed. Within the standards we do touch, we claim only the benchmarks whose skill the flagship genuinely exercises. The analyze/draw-conclusions and use/apply benchmarks we did not map (1.2, 1.3, 2.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4) call for sustained, graded analysis or the construction of a personal/community/state narrative that this catalog prompts but does not deliver as assessed work. We leave them unclaimed rather than round a prompt up to a performance.
  • The federal-heavy and policy units of Kansas's US Government course. Kansas's HS United States Government course suggests units on Principles and Foundations of the U.S. Constitution, the Structure and Function of the Federal Government, Human and Civil Rights, Domestic and Foreign Policy, and Politics/Interest Groups/Media. The general civics ladder (US Civics 101, US Constitution 101, the three-branches courses, Know Your Rights) covers much of the first three, but Domestic and Foreign Policy (fiscal policy, GDP, treaties, NATO/UN, the Monroe Doctrine) is economics/international-relations content this catalog does not teach, so we do not claim those units.
  • Mathematics — nothing. This catalog does no mathematics instruction, so it meets no Kansas College and Career Ready (KCCRS / Common Core) mathematics standard.
  • Science — one partial claim, via the shared NGSS file. Kansas adopted the NGSS verbatim as the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards for Science (June 11, 2013), 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.
  • A 2020 revision exists — confirm current codes. Kansas published a 2020 revision of the History, Government, and Social Studies Standards with the same five-standard design (five standards and four associated benchmarks, measured by a Classroom-Based Assessment). We cite the 2013 edition here; a teacher should confirm the current benchmark wording against KSDE's present document before filing.
