Semantic Alignments

Smarter Alignments

With ASN Crosswalk, you can make rich, meaningful semantic relationships between sets of learning outcomes.

  • Show how a particular set of standards maps to the Common Core.
  • Align your current set of standards to newly, adopted standards.
  • Create custom learning progressions.

The following ASN semantic relationships are available for crosswalking. If you have a desire to make a relationship not listed below, we can accommodate it by adding it to the ASN schema. Ready to begin? Try creating a crosswalk using our practice interface.

Broad AlignmentThe target competency covers all of the relevant concepts in the competency being described as well as relevant concepts not found in the competency being described.

View Example
Exact AlignmentThe relevant concepts in both the described and target competencies are coextensive.

View Example
Major AlignmentMajor overlap of relevant concepts between the described and target competencies.

View Example
Minor AlignmentMinor overlap of relevant concepts between the described and target competencies.

View Example
Narrow AlignmentThe competency being described covers all of the relevant concepts in the target competency as well as relevant concepts not found in the target competency.

View Example
Prerequisite AlignmentThe competency being described is a prerequisite to the target competency.
