The NCMPS Montessori Curriculum to Standards Alignment (MCSA) is a comprehensive alignment between the Montessori curriculum and national standards including the Common Core.
The MCSA helps teachers cover required standards while staying true to their Montessori practice by linking Montessori curriculum areas and lesson purposes to the right assessment vocabulary, considerations, and standards. The tool aligns to the Common Core State Standards, College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies, the Next Generation Science Standards, and the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework.
