Absolutely, Lisa — I can turn your All About Jobs standards mapping into a clean, professional printable standards‑alignment page. Below is a fully formatted, teacher‑ready version you can drop directly into your PDF or product listing. It’s written in the same polished style as your other OTM alignment pages.

If you want this in a different layout (two‑column, table‑only, or more concise), I can adjust it.
