Rhode Island standards alignment

Designed for high school. Below is every Rhode Islandstandard 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 Rhode Island'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

The Rhode Island Department of Education adopted the Common Core State Standards for English language arts and mathematics on July 1, 2010, with full implementation in 2013-2014. Rhode Island adopted the standards as published and did not renumber them, so the shared Common Core ELA file 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, and 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 Rhode Island Common Core mathematics standard.
  • Science — one partial claim, via the shared NGSS file. Rhode Island was the first state to adopt the NGSS (spring 2013) and reaffirmed it in 2024, 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.
  • The Narragansett and other tribal governments (SSHS.CVC.4.5). Rhode Island's SSHS.CVC.4.5 names tribal governments and the Narragansett explicitly, and requires students to analyze the powers and structures of tribal governments and the relationships between the Narragansett and Rhode Island's state and local governments. Rhode Island Civics teaches Rhode Island's state and local structure in depth but does not teach the Narragansett Tribe's government, so SSHS.CVC.4.5 is claimed as partial. The gap is in the course, not the standard.
  • Rhode Island's own state structure is taught more fully than SSHS.CVC.4.5 captures. Rhode Island Civics teaches the 1843 constitution and the 2020 removal of “and Providence Plantations,” the two-tier system with 5 counties but NO county governments and 39 all-purpose cities and towns, the long legislative-supremacy tradition and the 2004 separation-of-powers amendment that reined it in, the plural executive with a separately elected Lieutenant Governor, the 75-member House and 38-member Senate with a veto overridable by only three-fifths (and no line-item veto), and the only state Supreme Court whose justices serve for life — all from Rhode Island's own sources. SSHS.CVC.4.5 hosts most of it, but this bespoke 2023 civics frame is inquiry-and-argument based, not a Rhode-Island-government checklist, so the life-tenure court, the 2004 reform, and the 2020 name change have no code of their own.
  • The comparative-government, political-science, and world-affairs standards we checked and rejected. The standards the courses do not genuinely teach are not claimed: SSHS.CVC.1.1 (the history and philosophy of different forms of government), SSHS.CVC.2.1 (18th-century philosophical ideas / the Enlightenment thinkers and the American Revolution), SSHS.CVC.2.2 (Common Sense and the Declaration of Independence), SSHS.CVC.3.3 (how the Constitution handled the system of slavery — the Three-Fifths and Fugitive Slave clauses), all of Inquiry Topic 5's party/interest-group standards except the participation standard (SSHS.CVC.5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.5 — money, media, and polling in politics), SSHS.CVC.7.3 (contemporary policy debates such as mass incarceration, gun ownership, affordable housing, and immigration), and all of Inquiry Topic 8 (SSHS.CVC.8.1-8.3 — the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, U.S. human-rights interventions and genocides, and global citizenship). Rhode Island's own deep history in the North American slave trade would be a natural home for SSHS.CVC.3.3, but the course does not teach it, so we do not claim it.
  • The AI-literacy ladder, the language courses, and Learning How to Learn — deferred, not denied. Rhode Island'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 Rhode Island claims this pass.
