Product Update
Introducing Curated Crosswalks!
Common Core and NGSS initially brought a significant amount of similarity among State Standards. However, over time there has definitely been a diverging trend. We’ve seen it and we know you’ve seen it. One of our most requested solutions in recent years has been an ability to crosswalk standards beyond our Derivative data. We listened, and have spent the past several months curating Crosswalks between several key states and all other US Authorities. We’re delivering these standards relationships, defined between standards having one or more common skills, through our API in our Professional Edition.
In the next few months we will release an application that makes use of these new relationships. Please contact AB Support ABSupport@certicasolutions.com to learn how these new relationships can work for you or to request a demo of our future app.
