50-state explorer
Choose a state.
Highlighted states have detailed resources in the catalog. Every state also links to its official education-agency contact page.
The current VDOE science page includes the 2018 Science SOL for K-Physics and 2025 expanded high-school science standards. This profile does not label Virginia as an NGSS-adoption state.
Positions order unrounded scores across the 50 states and D.C. They are descriptive—not proof that neighboring states differ statistically—and are not a teacher-quality rating.
Teacher working conditions
NCES NTPS includes state-level measures of working conditions, job satisfaction, autonomy, and future plans. A Virginia estimate will be added only after its sample and reporting reliability are checked.
These routes prioritize official, free, recently checked resources while keeping provider claims and hub notes clearly separated.
Help grow the exchange
Know a resource we should check?
Send the official link and tell us why it is useful. Suggestions go into a private review queue; they are checked, labeled, and screened for duplicates before anything appears in the catalog.
1Collected safely. Your suggestion is stored for review, not published immediately.
2Verified at the source. We confirm the provider, access, grades, subjects, standards, and current availability.
3Added once. Existing records are updated when the same resource is already represented.
Clear before you click
Useful labels. Honest limits.
Every entry points to an official provider page and tells you what we know about time, access, materials, standards, and availability. Large repositories stay visible as doorways while their verified lessons and activities are added as individual, searchable records.
Canonical source
Links go to the agency or organization that actually provides the resource—not a copied listing or aggregator.
Item-level and duplicate-aware
Official item metadata is indexed provider by provider. Canonical URLs keep the same lesson from being added twice.
Standards, with context
We name a framework only when the provider documents it and note when alignment varies by item.
Planning details
Classroom time, prep, access, materials, format, and implementation style appear before you leave the hub.
Last checked
Every record shows its review date so a teacher can judge how recently the details were confirmed.
