Abstract: A system and method for analyzing curricular materials to determine the sufficiency of a curriculum in meeting a set of standards. Curricular materials are imported into a database which can include converting the curricular materials into electronic form and converting any non-text material to text, tagging all text with identifying information and saving it to a database. Standards are imported and used to develop a plurality of search queries. Creating the search queries can comprise dividing the standards into criteria, creating a rubric based on the criteria, creating a syllabus comprised of syllabus elements based on the rubric, and then creating the search query based on the syllabus. The search queries are performed on the database. A grade on the effectiveness of the curricular materials in meeting the standards can be assigned. The results can be delivered to a user via a user interface.
