Connecticut standards alignment

Designed for high school. Below is every Connecticutstandard 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 Connecticut'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

Connecticut adopted the Common Core State Standards for English language arts and mathematics in 2010 and implements them as the Connecticut Core Standards (CT Core Standards). Connecticut did not renumber the standards — the CT SDE republishes the CCSS under the CCSS codes — so this framework is adopted verbatim with no aliases. The literacy-in-history/social-studies (RH), informational-reading (RI), and writing-in-history (WHST) grade 11-12 strands are the ones this catalog touches. 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 Connecticut Core Standards (Common Core) mathematics standard.
  • Science — one partial claim, via the shared NGSS file. Connecticut adopted the NGSS in 2015 as its K-12 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 itself. There is no laboratory work, investigation, or modelling in this catalog, and we will not claim more.
  • Connecticut's own state structure is taught more fully than any one code captures. Connecticut Civics teaches the Fundamental Orders of 1639 and the Constitution of 1965, the 1960 ABOLITION of county government (a two-tier state-plus-169-towns system found in only a couple of states), the legislative APPOINTMENT of judges (a Judicial Selection Commission screens, the Governor nominates, the General Assembly appoints to 8-year terms), the absence of a statewide citizen initiative, and the recent rollout of early in-person voting (2024) and no-excuse absentee voting — all from Connecticut's own sources. CIV 9–12.1 (powers of local/state institutions) hosts most of the structure, but the Frameworks are C3 CONCEPT standards, not a Connecticut-government checklist, so none of these distinctive Connecticut facts has a code of its own.
  • The Civics standards we checked and rejected. CIV 9–12.6 (critique relationships among governments, civil societies, and economic markets), CIV 9–12.7 (apply civic virtues when working with others), CIV 9–12.8 (evaluate systems that promote civic virtues in different contexts, times, and places), CIV 9–12.9 (use appropriate deliberative processes in multiple settings), CIV 9–12.10 (the roles of personal interests and perspectives on civic virtues, democratic principles, constitutional rights, and human rights), CIV 9–12.13 (evaluate public policies for intended and unintended outcomes), and CIV 9–12.14 (analyze historical, contemporary, and emerging means of changing societies and protecting rights) — the courses either do not genuinely teach these or teach them too thinly to claim, so we do not claim them.
  • Connecticut's Dimension-1 inquiry standards and the interdisciplinary HIST/ECO/GEO standards. The Frameworks organize each course into the C3 inquiry arc. Dimension 1 (the inquiry skills — developing questions, evaluating sources, communicating conclusions, taking informed action) and the HISTORY, ECONOMICS, and GEOGRAPHY disciplinary standards that appear inside the High School Civics and Government course (HIST 9–12.x, ECO 9–12.x, GEO 9–12.x) are not the civics-content standards we mapped this pass. The catalog's source-literacy method and its commodity history/economics WOULD map to some of them, as they do in other states, but we mapped the CIVICS (CIV 9–12) dimension and defer the rest rather than over-claim.
  • Connecticut's 2023 Social Studies Standards — a future re-map. Connecticut adopted new K-12 Social Studies Standards in October 2023 (a distinct document from the 2015 C3 Frameworks mapped here). This pass cites the 2015 Frameworks, which carry the discrete High School Civics and Government course; the 2023 standards are queued for a separate verbatim re-map. As the finder always advises, confirm against your jurisdiction's current requirements.
