- We mapped this ourselves. This alignment was done by Learn.WitUS against the published standards. It has not been reviewed, endorsed, or approved by Wyoming'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
Wyoming adopted the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts as the 2011/2012 Wyoming Language Arts Content and Performance Standards; the document's own front matter states that no content or formatting changes would be made in the adoption for Wyoming students, and we confirmed the RH/RI/WHST grade 11-12 strands we cite are present verbatim. Wyoming prints 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 Wyoming's printed form. We claim no mathematics standards.

Note: The Coffee episode ships a graded assignment; the route series and the positive-track courses each close with a research capstone (find a listing, write one firm, test one connection) in which the student runs a self-directed inquiry and synthesizes multiple sources.
WHST.11-12.8
CoveredGather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess the strengths and limitations of each source in terms of the specific task, purpose, and audience; integrate information into the text selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and overreliance on any one source and following a standard format for citation.

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 Wyoming Common Core mathematics standard.
- Science — one partial claim, via the shared NGSS file. Wyoming's 2016 Science standards are built on the NGSS, 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 Wind River / tribal-sovereignty sub-benchmarks (every .a code). Wyoming's social-studies standards are saturated with Indian Education for All: SS12.1.1.a (comparing tribal-member and citizen rights on the Wind River Indian Reservation), SS12.1.3.a (governance of the Indigenous Tribes of Wyoming through Congressional Acts and Supreme Court decisions — the Marshall Trilogy, U.S. v. Shoshone Tribe of Indians), SS12.1.5.a (the inherent powers of Wyoming's tribes), SS12.2.1.a-2.4.a, SS12.4.1.a/4.4.a/4.5.a, and SS12.5.2.a/5.3.a. These are specific, sovereign, Wyoming-tribal content — the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho, treaties, boarding schools, land cessions — that this catalog does not teach. We claim none of them.
- Standard 2 — Culture and Cultural Diversity — nothing. SS12.2.1-2.2.4 ask students to analyze how groups meet human needs and express culture, and to evaluate cultural assimilation and preservation in Wyoming, the United States, and the world — the standard is anchored in Wyoming's own and Indigenous cultural life. The catalog does not teach this, so we claim no Standard 2 benchmark.
- SS12.1.4 — the U.S. civil and criminal legal systems. SS12.1.4 asks students to demonstrate an understanding of, and distinguish between, the United States civil and criminal legal systems at the federal, state, and tribal levels. The Civics courses teach jury service and the judiciary's structure, but not the civil-vs-criminal-systems distinction the standard names, so we do not claim it.
- The economics and history benchmarks we checked and rejected. SS12.3.4 (how financial and government institutions make economic decisions — banking, investment, credit, regulation, debt; the catalog teaches no financial literacy), SS12.3.5 (how values and beliefs influence micro/macroeconomic decisions), and SS12.4.3 (given a current event, critique the actors and hypothesize how it would have played out in another country — not this catalog's method) are not genuinely taught, so we do not claim them.
- SS12.5.3 and SS12.6.3 — sense of place, and digital production. SS12.5.3 asks how conflict, demographics, movement, trade, and technology affect humans' “sense of place” — the catalog teaches trade and movement, but not sense of place as the geographic object of study, so we do not claim it. SS12.6.3 (use digital tools to research, design, and present social studies concepts, per the ISTE student standards) is a production standard the catalog does not deliver.
- Wyoming's own state structure is taught more fully than any one code captures. Wyoming Civics teaches the 1889 constitution's equal-political-rights founding, the five-officer plural executive with no lieutenant governor (the Secretary of State succeeds the Governor), the part-time citizen Legislature and its short biennial sessions, the absence of a state income tax, the Missouri-Plan judiciary, direct democracy with high thresholds, and the 23 counties — from Wyoming's own sources. SS12.1.5 (structures of both constitutions) hosts most of it, but the succession quirk, the no-income-tax fact, and the initiative's high thresholds have no code of their own.
- The AI-literacy ladder, the language courses, and Learning How to Learn — deferred, not denied. Wyoming's other frameworks (Computer Science, World Languages) have not been fetched and verified against these courses yet. Our rule is fetch-or-don't-cite, so these courses carry no Wyoming claims this pass.
