Standards breakdown tool

Flint’s Standards Breakdown Tool helps teachers understand academic standards and apply them to their coursework.

About our standards breakdown tool

Understanding academic standards is crucial, but deciphering dense language during teacher trainings and lesson planning is a feat no teacher should have to take on their own. Flint’s Standards breakdown tool instantly summarizes standards and applies them to your syllabi, rubrics, and assignments.

Key features

Clear skill identification

Our tool pinpoints exactly what students need to know and be able to do. Say goodbye to technical jargon, replaced with easy-to-understand, essential learning targets behind every standard.

Cognitive demand analysis

Highlights the depth of thinking required (based on Bloom’s Taxonomy or DOK levels), helping you plan appropriate instructional strategies.

Curriculum-aligned outputs

Whether you're using Common Core, state-specific standards, or custom benchmarks, the breakdown is aligned to your curriculum so you can teach with confidence.

Ways to use our standards breakdown tool

Lesson planning

Start with a standard, and instantly see the exact verbs, concepts, and student actions required. Use the breakdown to write focused objectives, choose aligned materials, and scaffold instruction for diverse learners.

Assessment design

Turn standards into measurable outcomes by identifying the level of rigor and expected performance. Whether you’re building formative checks or end-of-unit tests, ensure your assessments match what students are truly expected to demonstrate.

PLC and curriculum team collaboration

Bring the same breakdowns to your grade-level or department meetings. Use them to clarify intent, ensure vertical alignment, and design consistent learning experiences across classrooms without debating what a standard “really means.”
