The Power Behind the EdGate Taxonomy

At the heart of everything we do is a custom-built taxonomy designed around how teachers actually teach and how students learn. It’s based on educational standards from across the U.S. and around the world, and has been shaped by decades of experience working with publishers, educators, and state agencies.

Rather than relying on simple keyword matching, our taxonomy captures the meaning and intent behind standards, forming the backbone of the ExACT Standards Alignment Platform. It helps ensure that every correlation, whether manual or automated, reflects true instructional intent.
