Digital Content Subscriptions: Standards

Align library and web resources to academic standards

Your school or district has many existing resources that can be used to support instruction, but finding the right resources that align to the standards being taught can be a lengthy process. In one simple search, you can find quality content correlated to the standards you're teaching. The Standards service helps maximize your existing library resources by aligning them to your academic standards:

United States core and secondary
Common Core
Canadian Provincial core
ISTE, NCTE and NSTA
Puerto Rico
American Education Reaches Out (AERO)

Don't have a physical resource that aligns with the standard being taught? Fill the gap with educator reviewed websites that have been aligned to the same academic standards.

Easily find standards aligned content in a few simple steps

By automatically aligning your library resources and educator reviewed websites, Follett’s Standards subscription helps you find appropriate materials using fast, convenient searching options. Keywords limited by state, subject area, and grade level, present the academic standards and allow you to zero in and find the content you're looking for. You can also browse by individual standards-as you drill through the hierarchy established by your state, you can choose to view websites and books related to specific standards and grade levels.
