  • We mapped this ourselves. This alignment was done by Better Vice Club against the published standards. It has not been reviewed, endorsed, or approved by Idaho's education authority or by anyone else.
  • Every code was fetched, then transcribed word for word. Each framework below shows the date its codes and text were retrieved from the publisher.
  • Standards get revised.A code can be renumbered or its wording changed without notice, and some states publish more than one live edition of the same document. Confirm anything you file against your own jurisdiction's current requirements, using the source links below.
  • We would rather claim less. Where the courses only partly cover a standard, this page says partially covered and explains the gap. Standards we considered and could not honestly claim are listed at the bottom, with the reasons.

Idaho Content Standards K-12 Social Studies — High School American Government (9-12.GOV)

Idaho Content Standards K-12 Social Studies (created 04/23/2024, revised 11/20/2025) · High School American Government (9-12.GOV) standards · Idaho State Department of Education / State Board of Education · retrieved 2026-07-19

Idaho writes its own social studies standards (not Common Core). The High School American Government course is the anchor for the Idaho Civics flagship: 9-12.GOV.45 (state and local government as described in the Constitution of the State of Idaho), 9-12.GOV.47 (local government — county, city, special district), and 9-12.GOV.54 (state administration of elections) are near-1:1 with the flagship's own-structure, local-government, and elections lessons, and the federal branches / federalism / citizenship benchmarks carry the general civics ladder. 9-12.GOV.17 and 9-12.GOV.52 (media/misinformation and media influence on elections) carry the catalog's media/source-literacy method. Transcribed verbatim from the Idaho SDE's 11/20/2025-revised standards (see the file header for provenance).

Idaho Content Standards for English Language Arts/Literacy — Grades 11/12 (Reading Comprehension, Research, Oral & Digital Communications)

Idaho Content Standards for English Language Arts/Literacy (January 3, 2022) · Grades 11/12 · Reading Comprehension (RC), Research (RS), and Oral and Digital Communications (ODC) strands · Idaho State Department of Education / State Board of Education · retrieved 2026-07-19

Idaho adopted the Common Core for ELA as the Idaho Core, but its current (January 3, 2022) standards REORGANIZED the standards away from the Common Core RH/RI/WHST strand and code structure entirely, so these are transcribed VERBATIM from Idaho's own document rather than aliased to the shared Common Core file — the RH/RI/WHST codes no longer exist in Idaho. We claim no mathematics standards.

  • 11/12.RC.NF.6b

    Covered
    Evaluate various explanations of concepts and ideas and determine which explanation best accords with textual evidence, noting discrepancies among sources.

    Covered by

    • · Ep 10 · The Oral History That Survived (recovering Nathan “Nearest” Green's erased role)
    • · Ep 4 · Whose Voice Tells the Story, Beckford (1790) against Equiano (1789) and Mary Prince (1831) on the same plantation world
    • · Ep 3 · Two Ways of Seeing a Bean
    • · Ep 5 · Two Ways of Knowing
    • · Ep 18 · Whose Voice

    Note: “Noting discrepancies among sources” is the whole point of the Nathan Green lesson: the documentary record and the oral record disagree, and the episode teaches why oral history is a legitimate scholarly method for resolving that.

  • 11/12.RC.TE.3

    Covered
    Draw and cite strong and thorough evidence from grade-level texts to support claims and inferences, attending to important distinctions authors make and how those are supported, as well as any gaps or inconsistencies in accounts offered.

    Covered by

    • · Ep 4 · Whose Voice Tells the Story, Beckford (1790) against Equiano (1789) and Mary Prince (1831) on the same plantation world
    • · Ep 3 · Two Ways of Seeing a Bean
    • · Ep 5 · Two Ways of Knowing
    • · Ep 18 · Whose Voice
    • · Ep 19 · Peer Review Versus Press Release
    • · Every course's Sources bibliography, with per-claim verification

    Note: Attending to the distinctions authors make and to the gaps or inconsistencies in their accounts — the standard's exact skill — is the whose-voice method: a planter's euphemism read against first-person accounts by formerly enslaved writers.

What we don't claim

A standards page is only worth reading if the omissions are honest too. We looked at these and left them out:

  • Mathematics — Common Core adopted as the Idaho Core: nothing claimed. Idaho adopted the Common Core State Standards for mathematics as the Idaho Core, but this catalog does no mathematics instruction, so it meets no Idaho mathematics standard.
  • Science — Idaho's OWN 2018 standards (revised NGSS/climate language): deferred, not aliased. Idaho did not adopt the Next Generation Science Standards verbatim. During its 2016-2018 review, Idaho notably revised and removed climate-change and human-impact language from the NGSS-derived standards, so Idaho's HS Earth and Space Science standards are its own, not a byte-for-byte NGSS republication. Our rule is verbatim-or-nothing, so — unlike NGSS-verbatim states, which reuse the shared NGSS mapping — we do NOT alias the shared NGSS framework here and DEFER Idaho's science standards rather than cite text we have not confirmed matches. The catalog's climate/resource content (resources, hazards, and climate shaping human activity) would map to Idaho's Earth and Space Science standards; that is deferred, not denied.
  • English/Language Arts — Idaho reorganized away from Common Core, so NOT aliased. Idaho adopted the Common Core for ELA as the Idaho Core, but the current (January 3, 2022) Idaho Content Standards for English Language Arts/Literacy reorganized the standards entirely: the Common Core RH/RI/WHST strands and codes no longer exist, and grades 11/12 are organized under Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary Development, Research, Writing, Oral and Digital Communications, and Grammar and Conventions strands with Idaho's own codes. Aliasing the shared Common Core ELA framework would misrepresent Idaho's standards as codes it no longer uses, so we transcribe Idaho's own verbatim literacy standards in the id-literacy framework above.
  • Idaho's own state structure is taught more fully than any one code captures. Idaho Civics teaches the 1889 Constitution, the separately elected plural executive (Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Controller, Treasurer, Attorney General, and Superintendent of Public Instruction), the nonpartisan-election judiciary and its Idaho Judicial Council vacancy process, the 35-district citizen Legislature, and the initiative, referendum, and recall reserved to the people — from Idaho's own sources. 9-12.GOV.45 (state and local government per the Idaho Constitution) hosts most of it, but Idaho's specific direct-democracy tools and judicial-selection design have no code of their own beyond that state-government benchmark.
  • Tribal governments and dual citizenship of American Indians (9-12.GOV.20, 9-12.GOV.44). Idaho's American Government course carries a dedicated benchmark on the dual citizenship of American Indians (9-12.GOV.20) and on tribal sovereignty and the federal trust responsibility with emphasis on Idaho's federally recognized tribes (9-12.GOV.44). Idaho Civics teaches Idaho's state and local structure but not tribal government, so these are not claimed. The gap is in the course, not the standards.
  • The Political Economy cluster (9-12.GOV.26-29) and the Economics course (9-12.EC.1-19). Idaho's American Government course includes a Political Economy cluster (free enterprise, market rules, taxation, and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy) and a separate high-school Economics course (9-12.EC.*). This catalog's economics content is world-history commodity economics (value chains, trade barriers, market vs. traditional economies) rather than U.S. political economy, public finance, or personal finance, so we do not claim the Political Economy benchmarks or the Economics course.
  • The political-science and history-of-government benchmarks we checked and rejected. 9-12.GOV.1 (Enlightenment thinkers and classical influences on the Founding), 9-12.GOV.2 (the Declaration and grievances as named content), 9-12.GOV.4 (the Constitutional Convention, Great Compromise, and ratification debate), 9-12.GOV.5 (the Federalist Papers Essays 10 and 51 and the Anti-Federalist Papers), 9-12.GOV.10 (democracy vs. republic), 9-12.GOV.11 (shared American values), 9-12.GOV.12 (the Declaration's definition of ideal government), 9-12.GOV.14 (comparing political ideologies), 9-12.GOV.15 (federal and state roles in the Civil Rights Movement), 9-12.GOV.25 (the 14th-Amendment case list — Plessy, Roe, Dobbs, Loving, Obergefell, Brown, etc.), 9-12.GOV.31 (the census, redistricting, and Baker v. Carr), 9-12.GOV.32 (legislative leadership positions), 9-12.GOV.36 (executive departments and the administrative state), 9-12.GOV.42 (judicial philosophies — originalism, textualism, activism), 9-12.GOV.53 (reapportionment and redistricting), and 9-12.GOV.56-59 (comparative political systems, U.S. foreign policy, and the international system) — the courses do not genuinely teach these, or teach them too thinly to claim, so we do not claim them.
