Guideline:

Alignment of curriculum, instruction, and assessment is crucial to success in improving instruction. State and local alignment is the congruence between state curriculum guidelines and locally-developed instructional practices. It is important teachers instructing English language learner students ensure their instruction is aligned with the local curriculum and the applicable state standards.

While specific to the New Mexico standards, they offer an example of how to align classroom instruction with state standards.
