Math Skills Map from Montana

Big news for Montana educators: the Montana Mathematics Content Standards (2026) now include a fully integrated Math Skills Map!

The Montana Office of Public Instruction and New Classrooms partnered to layer 300 classroom-ready skills written in clear "I will..." language directly onto Montana's existing math standards, including new Math Skills learning progressions and resources.

The result: nearly 2,000 new connections (learning progressions) and skills associated directly to standards, so educators can see exactly how mastery builds year over year and instructional leaders get a ready-made tool for vertical alignment and targeted intervention.

For curriculum and assessment partners, the framework is published in open, interoperable CASE format which means skill-level alignment, precise item tagging, and adaptive pathway design are now possible right out of the box.

Congratulations to the Montana OPI team and New Classrooms on this milestone for educators statewide!

Career and Workforce Skills meet CASE®!

CASE®, the interoperability format used to make K-12 standards machine-readable, is now extending into workforce and continuing education with the recent conversion of the ANSI/IACET 1-2018 Standard for Continuing Education and Training. The International Association for Continuing Education and Training’s (IACET) new CASE-formatted resource opens the door for higher ed, HR teams, and badge/credential issuers to reference, compare, and connect competency data across systems.

CASE®'s Promise Fulfilled

CASE's Promise Fulfilled: During the Learning Impact conference Common Good Learning Tools (CGLT) and our partners report major growth in adoption of the CASE® standard (Competencies and Academic Standards Exchange) to increase equity, access, and interoperability.

Highlights:

  • Adoption is accelerating: CASE-publishing states grew from 7 in 2023 to 21 in 2026, with the Satchel Rosetta Exchange now hosting over 1,100 frameworks that are free to the public.

  • Publishing is getting easier: CGLT has built more affordable on-ramps for issuing agencies to move standards from static PDFs into live, interoperable data.

  • Platform adoption has broadened: Major SIS/LMS providers (Infinite Campus, PowerSchool, Canvas, Google Classroom) now support CASE. CASE consumer registrations from companies have increased 40% since 2024, and free public registrations are up 70%.

  • New applications for CASE are emerging: CASE is now expanding beyond K-12 standards into new data types like HQIM rubrics, course catalogs, and career skills.

This news update features supporting quotes from PowerSchool, EdGate, and Learning Commons, and closes with links for readers to champion CASE or browse frameworks on the Satchel Rosetta Exchange.

CASE® + Google Classroom

Google announced at ISTE 2025 that educators will soon be able to connect state standards and competencies to learning goals directly within Google Classroom, thanks to the integration of CASE® frameworks. This innovation makes it easier to align assignments with specific skills and provide targeted feedback, shifting the focus from grading to genuine learning. A collaborative effort involving 1EdTech™, Google, and Common Good Learning Tools aims to inspire more states and framework authors to become CASE® publishers. If you're a state agency or district, you can explore options to publish your standards, or if you need other frameworks, you can reach out to Common Good Learning Tools.
