New Mexico standards alignment

Designed for high school. Below is every New Mexicostandard 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 New Mexico'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

New Mexico adopted the Common Core State Standards for English language arts on November 29, 2010 (New Mexico Public Education Department), with full implementation in the 2013-14 school year. New Mexico adopted the CCSS as published, so the shared Common Core ELA file is adopted verbatim, keeping the canonical CCSS codes. New Mexico's own ELA reprint could not be re-fetched this pass (web.ped.nm.gov is behind a captcha challenge and the Internet Archive was offline), so we did not verify New Mexico's printed code style and do not assert an alias — the text here is the CCSS publisher's verbatim wording (thecorestandards.org). 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:

  • Mathematics — nothing. This catalog does no mathematics instruction, so it meets no New Mexico Common Core mathematics standard.
  • Science — one partial claim, via the shared NGSS file. New Mexico adopted the NGSS in 2018 as the NM STEM Ready! 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. The six New Mexico-specific standards added to the NGSS are New Mexico's own; none is HS-ESS3-1, and this catalog has no laboratory work, investigation, or modelling, so we claim nothing there.
  • The New Mexico History (NMH) strand — not the catalog's content. New Mexico's High School New Mexico History course (9-12.NMH) is about New Mexico's own past: the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and its Article IX/X guarantees, the Homestead Act's effect on New Mexico, the boarding-school system and its ramifications on Indigenous peoples, the path to 1912 statehood, the Dust Bowl in New Mexico, and the atomic bomb and Cold-War testing sites born in New Mexico. The flagship civics course and the BVC curriculum do not teach this state-specific history, so we claim none of it. The New Mexico Civics course names the sovereign tribal nations but does not teach federal Indian policy or tribal sovereignty's interpretation over time (9-12.Civ.20, 9-12.NMH.26).
  • Geography and Ethnic, Cultural, and Identity Studies strands — not claimed. New Mexico's Geography strand (location/place/region, movement and systems, human-environment interaction) and its Ethnic, Cultural, and Identity Studies strand are not genuinely taught by these courses as their own content, so we claim neither. Where the BVC curriculum touches geographic diffusion, it is claimed under World History 9-12.WH.16, not the Geography strand.
  • The political-media civics standards. 9-12.Civ.42 (the effects of media organizations, including internet social platforms, on elections and social movements) and 9-12.Civ.43 (bias in the media and its impact on government decision making) are political-media analysis. Our media-literacy course is consumer protection — reading ads and claims for omission and fallacy — not political-media analysis, so we do not claim these; the source-evaluation skill they share is claimed instead under the inquiry standards 9-12.Civ.3 and 9-12.Civ.10.
  • Most of the High School Civics inquiry standards, and the federal-heavy content standards we checked. The inquiry standards 9-12.Civ.1, .2, .4-.9, .11, .12 (constructing compelling/supporting questions, argument and explanation construction, taking informed action as named skills) are procedures the courses exercise but do not deliver as a unit. On the content side, 9-12.Civ.16-.22 (groups without formal power, equality/equity/justice as named concepts, government-civil-society-market relationships, comparative systems, Indigenous-U.S. relations over time, and foreign policy), 9-12.Civ.25-.27 (using and challenging laws, public-policy outcomes, means of changing societies), and 9-12.Civ.32-.44/.46/.48 (civic dispositions and democratic principles as named concepts, founding-document interpretation over time, political socialization, leadership case studies, and the political-media standards) are not genuinely taught, so we do not claim them.
  • Economics standards beyond trade and commodity markets. New Mexico's High School Economics course also covers personal financial literacy, cost-benefit and marginal analysis, market structures and competition, financial institutions and money, government market intervention, fiscal and monetary policy, and macroeconomic indicators (9-12.Econ.13-.17, .19, .22-.39, .41, .42, .45-onward). This catalog teaches commodity markets, comparative economic systems, and the labor side of trade — not personal finance or macroeconomic measurement — so it claims only the trade-and-markets standards mapped above.
  • Most World History standards, and the New Mexico's-own-structure detail no single code captures. New Mexico's World History standards not mapped above (9-12.WH.1-.11, .14, .15, .17-.25, .27, .28, .31) are historical-thinking and content skills the courses do not exercise cleanly enough to claim. And the New Mexico Civics flagship teaches more of New Mexico's own structure than any one code captures — the only unpaid state legislature in the nation, the appoint-then-partisan-elect-then-retain judiciary, and the powerful Commissioner of Public Lands — with 9-12.Civ.29/30/31 hosting most of it.
  • The AI-literacy ladder, the language courses, and Learning How to Learn — deferred, not denied. New Mexico's closest frameworks (Computer Science, World Languages) have not been fetched and verified yet — and web.ped.nm.gov's captcha challenge blocked automated retrieval this pass. Our rule is fetch-or-don't-cite, so these courses carry no New Mexico claims this pass.
