Lesson Plans by State: Standards-Aligned for All 50 States

Standards are not the same in every state. Texas teaches to the TEKS, Virginia to the Standards of Learning, Florida to the B.E.S.T. standards, and states that use a Common Core foundation have each revised and re-coded it in their own way. A lesson plan that's perfectly aligned in one state can miss the mark in another — different codes, different grade placements, different assessments.

This page is a quick jump-off to a standards-aligned lesson plan for your state. Each guide covers that state's framework, its assessment, and exactly how to prompt the Lesson Plan Generator so your plan lines up with what you're actually held to.

How State Alignment Works in LessonDraft

Whatever state you teach in, the workflow is the same:

1. Open the Lesson Plan Generator and name your state's framework in the requirements (for example, "Texas TEKS" or "Ohio's Learning Standards").
2. Add the specific standard or benchmark code when you have it — the more precise the code, the tighter the alignment.
3. Run Standards Alignment to confirm the plan actually covers the standard before you teach it.
