How do I Browse or Search for Standards?

CPALMS allows you to search for standards using any one of several methods depending on what you find the most convenient.

Click the Standards option in the menu.

Three search methods (Note that each selection narrows the results):

1. Digging Down:
   Select the subject area from the list of subjects.
   Select the grade level.
   Select the domain/strand.
   Select the cluster to see all standards for your entire selection path.
   
   
2. Filtering: 
   Select the subject button and select the appropriate subject. To confirm the subject has been selected a check will appear by the highlighted subject in the dropdown.
   Select the grade level button and select the appropriate grade level. To confirm the grade level has been selected a check will appear by the highlighted grade in the dropdown.
   Select the domain/strand button and select the appropriate domain/strand. To confirm the domain/strand has been selected a check will appear by the highlighted domain/strand in the dropdown.
   Select the cluster button and select the appropriate cluster check box. To confirm the cluster has been selected a check will appear by the highlighted cluster in the dropdown                                Click the submit button to see all standards for your entire selection path if combined with keywords.
   
3. Simple Keyword Search:

Enter keywords, phrases, or even known standard numbers into the search box and click the submit button.

Please note if you have an error in the standard number, it may not appear but to avoid this if you are unsure, please note that you can search for the partial standard number codes.

Each standard searched will display a live tile.

Each tile will display small icons at the bottom showing how many resources and courses this standard is aligned to, if applicable.

Clicking on the bold standard number at the top of the tile box will open the page for that standard. This page shows all the information about this standard that we have on CPALMS.

You can click search at the top left of the page at any point of your search to see standards. For example, you want to see all the standards for a subject and grade level. Simply click the filters and the data automatically loads the results based on your selections. 

You will see all applied filters directly under the search field. You can click on the “x” to remove a particular filter. You can also click the clear filters button to remove all filters.

Anytime you need to start another search, make sure to select the Reset button to the right of the search field to clear your previous search selections.
