Once you add an alignment to an item (to either a standard or to supplement metadata), ItemLogic associates a code with the item. Use these codes when finding aligned items. For example, after you align an item to Common Core ELA Literacy Reading Informational standard 6 for Grade 5, the code associated with the item may be something such as CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.6.
Common Codes
Common codes you may encounter (beyond state standard codes) are as follows:
| Code | Curriculum | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
CCSS |
Common Core State Standards | CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.5.6 |
| NGSS | Next Generation Science Standards | NGSS.SCI.1.ESS1.2 |
| DOK | Depth of Knowledge | DOK.3 |
| BT | Bloom's Taxonomy | BT.2 |
| DIFF | Difficulty | DIFF.M |
Finding Aligned Items Using Codes
One way to find items based on their aligned standards, exclusions, or supplemental metadata is to enter the item's alignment code in the Search field. Learn more about searching in ItemLogic.
