standards-crosswalk

Map a standard to its closest equivalent in another framework, or report an honest gap. Do NOT use to check a code is current (use standards-match); never invent codes.

standards-crosswalk

Maps a standard to its nearest equivalent in a different framework (e.g., FL B.E.S.T. to Common Core, or vice versa). Returns the match with confidence and a rationale. Never fabricates codes.

Input

{
  "standard": {"code": "MA.4.FR.1.1", "framework": "FL B.E.S.T.", "text": "Model and express a fraction, including mixed numbers and fractions greater than one, with the denominator 10 as an equivalent fraction with the denominator 100."},
  "target_framework": "Common Core"
}

Output

{
  "tool": "standards-crosswalk",
  "crosswalk": {
    "source": {"code": "MA.4.FR.1.1", "framework": "FL B.E.S.T."},
    "target": {"code": "4.NF.C.5", "framework": "Common Core", "text": "Express a fraction with denominator 10 as an equivalent fraction with denominator 100..."},
    "match_confidence": 0.9,
    "rationale": "Both standards address converting tenths to hundredths at grade 4; FL B.E.S.T. also includes mixed numbers explicitly",
    "differences": "FL B.E.S.T. explicitly includes mixed numbers and fractions > 1; CCSS addresses this implicitly"
  },
  "human_review_required": true
}

Do NOT use this atom for

  • Fabricating standard codes that do not exist
  • Guaranteeing exact equivalence (standards differ across frameworks)
  • Replacing curriculum director review of crosswalk decisions

Pipeline note

Follows references/method.md at the Analysis step (standards crosswalk). Output conforms to references/metadata-schema.md. human_review_required: true — crosswalk accuracy must be verified by a curriculum specialist.
