Standards Satchel
CASE® (Competencies & Academic Standards Exchange) is a 1EdTech™ standard (like CLR, QTI, LTI) that allows organizations to publish learning standards ...
Common Good Learning Tools (CGLT) is a big proponent of interoperability and CASE specifically. So much so that our founder consulted on the development of Open Salt, served as a co-chair on the CASE working group, and eventually built our own CASE publishing tool that we now call Satchel. Standards Satchel, Satchel Commons, and Satchel Rosetta are all CASE tools that CGLT offers to serve the partners we collaborate with. From 2023 to 2026, Satchel has also served as the engine behind the CASE Network, an aggregation portal where CASE frameworks were mirrored for ease of access by the ecosystem.
UPDATE! As of February 2026, CGLT has launched Satchel Rosetta Exchange for an even more diverse audience. The goal of Satchel Rosetta Exchange is to increase access and the availability of CASE, encourage widespread adoption, and support more issuing agencies to lead the way in CASE publishing themselves. With over 1,000 frameworks already live—covering all 50 US states and diverse international curricula—we are making high-quality, interoperable data a reality for the entire ecosystem.

The CASE® Ecosystem
Educators Take Charge with CASE® - A Trusted Source of Truth
If you want your standards or competencies converted into a machine readable format (CASE®), your organization can (1) jump into hosting your own dedicated server with ongoing CGLT guidance to become an official CASE publisher (2) ease into a shared hosting instance with a free patch on Satchel Commons or with la carte paid options which include CGLT training, (3) or get a quote for our CASE conversion services to convert the documents (typically $500-1500 per PK-12+ subject area). Learn more about your options below:

Issuing Agencies like states or ministries of education choose this option when they plan to leverage the full suite of Standards Satchel features and integration options available for CASE. Dedicated Satchel hosting provides System Admin level user management, SSO options, unlmited framework creation with crosswalks, and features to manage the full life cycle of a framework. Product features related to drafting private frameworks, managing sandboxes, using a public comment process, tracking changes through revisions, creating comment groups for reviewers, adding learning progressions or crosswalks, and even including supplemental information are all available. A dedicated hosting plan for a Standards Satchel instance costs $24k / year for public agencies and up to $50k / year for companies:
Dedicated hosting on an AWS cloud server; or the organization’s server which CGLT will help maintain
Branding and customization options for the Standards Satchel instance
All Satchel’s tools for CASE publishing from scratch, from an import, or with our paid services

Issuing Agencies (states, ministries of education, districts, and even schools) sometimes start with this option to get CASE off the ground or if they have a couple of eager departments or teams ready to jump into CASE. This plan relies on CGLT to act as the System Admin for a shared instance of Satchel and designate select Framework-level admins to manage the work. Basic authoring and editing tools are available with this plan as well as some options to make associations from one framework to another.
A shared hosting plan for Satchel Commons costs $6k / year and includes:
Shared hosting on Satchel Commons with limited branding options.
Many of Satchel’s authoring tools for CASE publishing - creating frameworks, managing reviews with comments, tracking changes, archiving, etc.
Some framework mirrors from Satchel Rosetta Exchange are allowed for making associations from one framework to another.
Access to shared hosting on Satchel Commons includes up to 5 hours of online training per year and additional framework specific consultation with the purchase of CASE conversion services if needed.
Public agencies currently licensing a shared instance of Satchel Commons include:
Columbia County School District
Delaware DOE
Henry County Schools
Kentucky DOE
Prince Williams County Schools
Virginia DOE
**NOTE: There’s also an option for a FREE Satchel Commons Patch. This allows one user to create a patch and author up to five frameworks. To register and get started with our User Guides, visit https://satchelcommons.com/.

Some organizations simply need fast access to machine-readable versions of their documents but are not yet prepared or interested in taking on the role of CASE publisher. In these situations, CGLT serves as the CASE publisher and offers our services for CASE conversion which range from $500 for a K-12 framework up to $2500 for a complex framework with learning progressions, crosswalks, and supplemental information added. This is an ideal option if your organization needs only one or two documents converted to CASE with a short timeline of 2-3 weeks.
The quickest way to find out the exact cost for a conversion is to email support@commongoodlt.com with a link to the source document, a PDF, or a spreadsheet and ask for a quote.
We will likely offer to schedule a free CASE consultation to briefly talk through how we've coded similar frameworks and to better understand your goals for using CASE. We can give you a timeline and quote during the meeting.
Take a look at Satchel Rosetta Exchange to get ideas for what you might want out of your CASE conversion.
Ed-Tech and Nonprofits Lead with CASE® & Interoperability
Satchel Rosetta Exchange mirrors CASE frameworks published and maintained by issuing agencies from around the world on a single web server, providing frictionless access to the source of truth data via a single CASE API (instead of having to go to different API urls for each CASE publisher). With over 1,000 state, national, and international frameworks spanning PK-12+ with ongoing updates, Rosetta Exchange is the most robust access point for the evolving landscape of digital standards and competencies.

Satchel Rosetta Exchange
When Edtech companies, assessment platforms, and content providers invest in CASE, they are supporting an ecosystem where issuing agencies can translate their pedagogical beliefs, expectations for student learning, and proficiency requirements for competencies into a machine readable format ready for the digital ecosystem’s use. In return, organizations consuming CASE data can take advantage of structured, reliable, consistent, and up-to-date information straight from the source.
As a public benefit corporation, the fees we charge for accessing our products and services are reinvested to support our work to CASE publish on behalf of issuing agencies until they are ready to stand up their own CASE servers, keep frameworks up-to-date, enhance the API, promote best practices, offer free CASE authoring through our Satchel Commons platform, and encourage as many new issuing agencies to lead the way with CASE as possible.
With the growth of this work and the generous contributions of our existing registrants (#CASEchampions), we’ve been able to reduce the registration fees as of February 2026 and offer new access options as follows:
$8400 Rosetta Exchange Standard ($700/month, 12-month commitment, unlimited access)
$3000 Rosetta Exchange CORE-4 ($500/month, 6-month commitment, up to 208 frameworks)
$500 Rosetta Exchange TRIAL ($500 one-time fee, 30 day access, 40 frameworks)
We’ve also re-tooled our Satchel Commons product to offer FREE access to anyone that wants to also try their hand at CASE publishing themselves and all of our subscription options come with at least one free CASE consultation or technical support session to get you started.
No more barriers to entry, let’s do this!
Satchel Rosetta Align
Satchel Rosetta Align leverages CASE data and LLM tooling to streamline the process of aligning and “cross-aligning” resources to learning standards. Our product and API uses vector encodings of standards and resource metadata to make suggestions for initial alignments; your SME reviews these suggestions and creates alignments with a click of a button. To align to a new framework, Rosetta uses the LLM encodings to generate an “auto-crosswalk” between the standards in the initial and new frameworks, and uses the auto-crosswalk in addition to the resource metadata when making suggestions. As you cross-align to each additional framework, Rosetta’s suggestions keep getting more and more accurate.
Satchel Rosetta Align allows organizations unlimited alignments using these tools paired with unlimited Satchel Rosetta Exchange access at a cost of $24k annually.
For companies with their own alignment tools in place, there is also an option to use Satchel Rosetta Align - API only for $15k annually which includes unlimited access to Satchel Rosetta Exchange and the vector encodings of any subject framework from any state (Satchel uses these for advanced search, associations, cross-walking, and alignment services; you can use them however you wish!)
Pilot access to Satchel Rosetta Align is also an option for a company that needs to make a proof of concept. You can import a resource set of 200 objects with metadata and access up to 40 frameworks from Satchel Rosetta Exchange for a $1k pilot fee for 30 days.
The current companies using Satchel Rosetta Align are Star Autism Support* and Lincoln Learning Solutions*. Some of our state partners also use Satchel Rosetta Align with their Learning Object Repositories (or our Cureum product) to align content when new standards are implemented and old standards are retired.
