  • 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 Ohio'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.

Ohio's Learning Standards for Social Studies — American Government

Adopted February 2018 · Ohio Department of Education (and Workforce) · retrieved 2026-07-17

Ohio requires one-half unit of American Government for graduation, and its end-of-course exam is aligned to this course. The standards are organized as Themes → Topics → numbered Content Statements; the course reuses the numbers 1..21, so it is its own framework here. Two content statements name Ohio's own government (CS 16 the Ohio Constitution; CS 17 assisting state and local governments), which is where the Ohio Civics flagship maps.

  • American Government · Content Statement 20

    Partially covered
    The federal government uses spending and tax policy to maintain economic stability and foster economic growth. Regulatory actions carry economic costs and benefits.

    Covered by

    • · Ep 4 · The Hidden Costs of Cheap Sugar
    • · Ep 18 · Bolivia's Bet (Bolivia's legal coca model against U.S.-funded eradication)
    • · Ep 18 · The Balloon Effect
    • · Ep 17 · Where the Poppy Grows (Afghanistan and the Golden Crescent)
    • · Ep 16 · The Justice Gap

    What we do and don't cover: Partial: the regulatory-costs-and-benefits half is taught through worked policies — the U.S. sugar program's costs, the War on Drugs' unintended consequences. General fiscal (spending and tax) policy for economic stability is not taught.

Ohio · Social Studies

Ohio's Learning Standards for Social Studies — Modern World History

Adopted February 2018 · Ohio Department of Education (and Workforce) · retrieved 2026-07-17

Ohio's world-history course (1600 to the present); world history and civilization is a graduation requirement. Content statements are numbered 1..28. The BVC curriculum's imperialism, revolution, Cold War, and sustainability content maps here.

Ohio's Learning Standards for Social Studies — Economics and Financial Literacy

Adopted February 2018 · Ohio Department of Education (and Workforce) · retrieved 2026-07-17

Ohio's economics course, content statements 1..25. Most of the course is personal financial literacy (working, saving, investing, credit, insurance) that this catalog does not teach — but CS 4 gives the reciprocity-versus-market-economies content the economic-systems home Arizona and California lacked, and the trade standards are strong.

  • Economics and Financial Literacy · Content Statement 8

    Covered
    Economic policy decisions made by governments result in both intended and unintended consequences.

    Covered by

    • · Ep 4 · The Hidden Costs of Cheap Sugar
    • · Ep 8 · Prohibition, the Experiment That Failed
    • · Ep 8 · Selling Prohibition (the rhetoric that drove the movement)
    • · Ep 18 · Bolivia's Bet (Bolivia's legal coca model against U.S.-funded eradication)
    • · Ep 18 · The Balloon Effect
    • · Ep 17 · Where the Poppy Grows (Afghanistan and the Golden Crescent)
    • · Ep 16 · The Justice Gap

    Note: Intended and unintended consequences are taught by name: the U.S. sugar program (stable prices, ~$3.5bn/yr consumer cost), Prohibition, and the War on Drugs' balloon effect.

Ohio · Social Studies

Ohio's Learning Standards for Social Studies — Contemporary World Issues

Adopted February 2018 · Ohio Department of Education (and Workforce) · retrieved 2026-07-17

Ohio's issues-based elective, content statements 1..22. CS 3 is a genuine media-literacy standard — the home for the curriculum's media-literacy work — and the Global Economy topic anchors the trade content.

Ohio's Learning Standards for English Language Arts — Reading Informational Text (Grades 9-12)

Adopted 2017 · Ohio Department of Education (and Workforce) · retrieved 2026-07-17

Ohio writes its own ELA standards (adopted 2017); the Reading Informational Text strand carries Ohio's RI.9-10.x / RI.11-12.x codes in Ohio's own 2017 wording (e.g., RI.9-10.2 is split into sub-parts a/b), so Ohio is not mapped through our shared Common Core file. We cite the grade-9-10 and grade-11-12 reading standards this catalog genuinely meets.

  • RI.9-10.7

    Partially covered
    Analyze various accounts of a subject told in different mediums (e.g., a person's life story in both print and multimedia), determining which details are emphasized in each account.

    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 10 · The Oral History That Survived (recovering Nathan “Nearest” Green's erased role)

    What we do and don't cover: Partial: accounts-against-accounts is strong (a planter's account against Equiano and Prince; the documentary record against the oral record on Nathan Green — genuinely different mediums). Multimedia accounts in the standard's modern sense are not analyzed.

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 — nothing. This catalog does no mathematics instruction, so it meets no Ohio mathematics standard.
  • Science — nothing, on purpose (and Ohio is not an NGSS state). We verified against Ohio's own 2018 science document rather than assuming: Ohio writes its own science standards, not NGSS. But Ohio publishes its HIGH-SCHOOL science courses (Environmental Science, Physical Geology, Biology, Chemistry, Physics) as bare topic outlines — for example the entire climate item reads only "ENV.GP.3: Climate change" — with the full content statements "being updated ... once the revised Model Curriculum is adopted." Only Ohio's K-8 grades carry full-sentence content statements, at the wrong grade level for this adult catalog. Our rule is verbatim-or-nothing and the finder rejects standard text under ~40 characters, so there is no citable Ohio high-school science standard to map. The climate-and-resources content the NGSS states pick up through HS-ESS3-1 maps instead to Ohio social studies (Modern World History CS 28, Contemporary World Issues CS 11, World Geography CS 4).
  • American Government standards checked and rejected. CS 2 (political parties, interest groups, and the media as civic-involvement channels — our media-literacy work is consumer protection, not political-media analysis), CS 6 (the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers framing the ratification debate, as texts), CS 10 (the suffrage amendments as civil-rights extensions, taught as constitutional law), and CS 21 (the Federal Reserve and monetary policy) are not genuinely taught, so we do not claim them.
  • Economics — the whole financial-literacy half, and the market-mechanics standards. Working and earning (CS 11-12), saving and investing (CS 16-19), credit and debt (CS 20-22), risk management and insurance (CS 23-25), the personal-finance planning standards (CS 13-15), the economic-data and market-competition standards (CS 1-3, 6-7) were all checked and are not taught. Ohio's CS 4, by contrast, is the economic-systems standard Arizona and California lacked, and we claim it.
  • American History beyond the labor, migration, Prohibition, and New Deal-labor standards. American History is a 1877-to-present survey (Content Statements 1-33). This catalog teaches U.S. history in specific places — the Gilded Age labor movement, Jim Crow, the Great Migration and Harlem Renaissance, Prohibition, and the Wagner Act — not as a survey, so the imperialism/foreign-affairs, world-war, Cold War, and post-Cold War content statements are not claimed.
  • The AI-literacy ladder, the language courses, and Learning How to Learn — deferred, not denied. Ohio's closest frameworks (Computer Science, World Languages, Technology) have not been fetched and verified this pass. Our rule is fetch-or-don't-cite, so these courses carry no Ohio claims here.
