As part of a graduate student internship, an alignment study was completed for Ignite™ by Hatch®, in partnership between The University of North Carolina at Charlotte's Center for Educational Measurement and Evaluation and Hatch®. Ignite™ has 341 Core games amongst 7 domains to assist early childhood learners: Mathematics, Language and Communication Development, Literacy, Physical Development, Science and Technology, Social Studies, and Social-Emotional Development. This study was completed as part of an initiative to review the program's Core games and their respective alignment with appropriate learning standards. Although Ignite™ is utilized across the country, North Carolina (NC) was used as a case for this study, which serves as an example when considering other states' learning standards. The following items were used when matching game objectives from Ignite™ with corresponding learning standards: (1) NC Foundations for Early Learning and Development; (2) The North Carolina Standard Course of Study -- Kindergarten; (3) The North Carolina Standard Course of Study -- Grade 1; and (4) The North Carolina Standard Course of Study -- Grade 2. [This report was written in partnership with Alexandra Miller.]
