Washington standards alignment

Designed for high school. Below is every Washingtonstandard 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 ElementaryMBA against the published standards. It has not been reviewed, endorsed, or approved by Washington'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

Washington formally adopted the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts (and mathematics) in July 2011 (State Superintendent Randy Dorn). Washington distributes them as the Washington State K-12 Learning Standards for English Language Arts but retains the Common Core codes and text, so the literacy-in-history/social-studies (RH) and writing-in-history (WHST) strands this catalog touches are adopted verbatim. Note: OSPI is running a Learning Standards Review with a draft “WA ELA 2026” in progress; as of this writing the 2011 Common Core adoption remains the operative standard — confirm current status at ospi.k12.wa.us. We claim no mathematics standards.

  • CCSS.ELA-Literacy.WHST.11-12.7

    Covered
    Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.

    Covered by

    • · Ep 1 · Assignment, all four options are 2-3 week research projects requiring synthesis across sources
    • · 19 · Your assignment: find a listing, then find the address today
    • · 20 · Your assignment: write one block
    • · 21 · Your assignment: write one firm
    • · 21 · Your assignment: test one connection of your own
    • · 17 · Your assignment: one schoolhouse, and the budget line that raised it
    • · 20 · Your assignment: write one property

    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.

  • CCSS.ELA-Literacy.WHST.11-12.8

    Covered
    Gather 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.

    Covered by

    • · Ep 1 · Assignment, Option B, 3+ peer-reviewed sources and an APA bibliography
    • · Ep 1 · Assignment, Option C, interview ethics: informed consent, right to review
    • · 19 · Your assignment: find a listing, then find the address today
    • · 20 · Your assignment: write one block
    • · 21 · Your assignment: write one firm
    • · 21 · Your assignment: test one connection of your own
    • · 17 · Your assignment: one schoolhouse, and the budget line that raised it
    • · 20 · Your assignment: write one property

    Note: The route and positive-track capstones require the student to locate a primary record, corroborate it across independent sources, weigh each source's limits, and write it up with citations: the whole of this standard.

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 Common Core mathematics standard Washington adopted.
  • Science — almost nothing. There is no laboratory work, no investigation and no scientific modelling here. Washington adopted the NGSS verbatim (as the WSSLS), and we claim a single NGSS performance expectation, partially, explaining exactly why on the entry itself. It is not a science course and we will not sell it as one.
  • Tribal governments and the Since Time Immemorial curriculum. Washington's social studies standards repeatedly reference tribal constitutions, tribal sovereignty, and the Since Time Immemorial curriculum (e.g., C2.11-12.2 names tribal constitutions; the standards footnote tribal connections throughout). The catalog does not teach tribal government, so we claim only the United-States and Washington-state portions of those standards and mark C2.11-12.2 partial for exactly this reason.
  • The flagship's election and tax specifics have no dedicated Washington code. Washington Civics teaches the all-mail (vote-by-mail) system and the top-two primary — the state's most distinctive civics content — plus the contested no-personal-income-tax tradition (the uniformity clause; the 2021 capital-gains tax upheld in 2023). Washington's high-school Civics standards contain no discrete election-administration or tax-policy standard, so this election content is taught but carries no Washington claim, and the tax content is reached only through the general C2 civics standards. The specifics have no code — the gap is in the standards, not the course.
  • Prohibition, the War on Drugs as domestic policy, and mass incarceration. The catalog teaches all three. Washington's 2019 social studies standards are analytical and thematic (“current events rooted in past events,” “individuals and movements”) rather than event-naming, so — unlike Washington, D.C. — there is no Washington standard that names Prohibition or mass incarceration to cite. We claim the War on Drugs' foreign-policy arm only through the broad H4.11-12.3, and mark it partial.
  • The wider catalog — health, PE, AI-literacy, and languages. Washington's relevant frameworks for these (Health and Physical Education; Computer Science; World Languages) have not been fetched and verified yet. Our rule is fetch-or-don't-cite, so these courses carry no Washington claims this pass.
