Alabama standards alignment

Designed for high school. Below is every Alabamastandard these courses cover: the exact code, the standard's own words, and the lesson that covers it. Where we only cover part of a standard, it says so, and says which part.

  • 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 Alabama'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.

Alabama Course of Study: Social Studies — United States Government (Grade 12)

2010 · Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) · retrieved 2026-07-19

Alabama writes its own social-studies standards. United States Government is a one-semester course required of every Grade 12 student; its content standards are numbered 1-15 in the 2010 Course of Study. We cite each as USG.N (the printed number), with the text transcribed verbatim. The Alabama flagship (state-civics-al) is mapped 1:1 onto Standard 5, the one standard that names Alabama's own government ("the Constitution of Alabama of 1901").

  • USG.15

    Partially covered
    Explain the role and consequences of domestic and foreign policy decisions, including scientific and technological advancements and humanitarian, cultural, economic, and political changes.

    Covered by

    • · 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
    • · Ep 4 · The Hidden Costs of Cheap Sugar

    What we do and don't cover: Partial: specific domestic and foreign policy decisions and their consequences are analyzed in depth — the War on Drugs (including its foreign-policy arm and the balloon effect) and the U.S. sugar program (import quotas, tariffs, price supports, and their cost). The standard's grand foreign-policy doctrines (isolationism versus internationalism, containment, détente, the war on terrorism) are not taught.

Alabama Course of Study: Social Studies — Economics (Grade 12)

2010 · Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE) · retrieved 2026-07-19

Economics is a one-semester course required of every Grade 12 student; its content standards are numbered 1-12 in the 2010 Course of Study. We cite each as ECON.N (the printed number), text transcribed verbatim. This is not an economics course; we claim the standards the BVC commodity, trade, and labor curriculum genuinely reaches, each with an honest coverage note.

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 Alabama mathematics standard (the 2019 Alabama Course of Study: Mathematics, Alabama's own, not Common Core).
  • English Language Arts — deferred, not denied. Alabama writes its own ELA standards (the 2021 Alabama Course of Study: English Language Arts, adopted after Alabama left Common Core). This catalog's media-literacy, rhetoric, argument-writing, and source-evaluation teaching would map to Alabama ELA — but our rule is fetch-or-don't-cite, and that document has not been retrieved and transcribed this pass, so we make no Alabama ELA claim yet.
  • Science — deferred, not denied. Alabama is NOT an NGSS state. Alabama's science standards are the 2015 Alabama Course of Study: Science, built from the National Research Council Framework with Alabama's own codes — NOT the Next Generation Science Standards. We did not assume otherwise. That document has not been fetched and transcribed this pass, so we make no Alabama science claim; when it is, the two Earth-science claims used elsewhere (resources, hazards, and climate shaping human activity) would be the candidates.
  • United States Government standards we checked and do NOT claim. USG.1 (historical and philosophical origins — the Magna Carta, Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu, and comparing limited and unlimited governments), USG.8 (special-interest groups, PACs, and Buckley v. Valeo), USG.9 (the media's impact on the political and election process — our media-literacy work is consumer protection, not political-media analysis), and USG.10 (the role of political parties) are not genuinely taught by these courses, so we do not claim them.
  • Economics standards we checked and do NOT claim. ECON.1 and ECON.2 (scarcity, opportunity cost, and rational decision making as named concepts), ECON.5 (standard of living and productivity), ECON.7 (the organization and role of business, firm types, and market structures), ECON.9 (GDP, CPI, inflation, and unemployment measurement), ECON.10 (the Federal Reserve and monetary policy), and ECON.11 (fiscal policy, deficits, and the national debt) are financial- and macro-economics content this catalog does not teach.
  • Health and Physical Education — out of scope for Social Studies this pass. Alabama publishes its own Health Education and Physical Education courses of study. This catalog's dental-health, body-data, and sport-knowledge courses could map to them, but those documents were not fetched this pass; per fetch-or-don't-cite we make no Alabama health or PE claim yet.
