North Carolina K–6 technology standards

North Carolina writes its own technology standards. They are published as North Carolina Standard Course of Study — K-12 Computer Science (2020), adopted 2020 and are not a version of a national framework. 79 of 82 are matched to a national standard.

82 rows. NC's 2020 K-12 Computer Science Standards (CSTA-2017-derived; adopted into the NCSCOS under SBE Policy SCOS-012), replacing the superseded 2008 ITES that CSP had defaulted to (field-notes §18). CSP has now FULLY ingested the '(2020-)' family (3 grade-band sets K-2/3-5/6-8; the 6-8 band clamped to grade 6 for K-6 scope), where the prior retry saw only a partial stub — hence preferVersion pins it so the fetcher's set-count heuristic cannot fall back to 2008 again. Codes are NC's own K2-/35-/68- band + CSTA strand (AP/CS/DA/IC/NI). VERIFIED against NCDPI's OWN 'NC K-12 Computer Science Standards' PDF (Wayback 2025-09-01 snapshot of dpi.nc.gov/nc-k-12-computer-science-standards/open; the live /open slug now 404s — CS resources stripped 'for accessibility', so the agency's own archived rendering is the source, §5): 82/82 codes present, zero PDF-only / zero CSV-only, and band+strand distribution reconciles EXACTLY (K2 23, 35 26, 68 33; AP 32, CS 10, DA 12, IC 19, NI 9). Text 80/82 verbatim; the 2 remainder are obvious single-char typos in NC's compact grid ('erros', 'Anaylze') that CSP renders correctly — CSP's spelling retained. NC's other student tech standard, the Digital Learning Standards, is ISTE adopted VERBATIM (dpi.nc.gov Digital Teaching & Learning Standards: 'North Carolina has adopted the ISTE Standards for Students') — the ISTE anchor IS that standard (§14), so it is captured by the crosswalk, not separately ingested. This machine's xpdf decoded the CS PDF cleanly (not subset-font, unlike NC's other native PDFs, §100); the 5-column grade-band grid was de-interleaved with PyMuPDF (scripts/verify done in scratchpad).
