Standards & Alignment

One joyful program. 16 frameworks.

Color-and-erase characters drive a few weeks of wonder — and quietly hit the frameworks you already report on. Pick your role below to see exactly where the Parade lines up, and which activities do the work.

Honest about the evidence. The Parade is built on evidence-based methods — it is not a lab-proven curriculum. This page maps where its activities align to each framework. Alignment shows the connection; it doesn't claim every standard is fully taught. Fit is rated plainly: strong, solid, or a light touch.
