Let's get down to business!
First is content standards, which to many of us is the Common Core:
The next part is planning, creating, and implementing a curriculum:
The third part is assessments:

The last part is probably my favorite. It's all about the reporting tool. How do we, as teachers, inform our students and their parents of their progress? How do we keep track of all of this data for ourselves as well?
*Before I tell you about these reporting tools, please know that they are for ALL teachers. Not just teachers that use standards based grading! If you use traditional grading (i.e., A-F scale) you can use these also!

The great thing about these packs is that I have created them not only for teachers using standards based grading, but for ALL teachers. If you are using traditional grading and report cards you can use them too. I have also included pages in these packs to help you plan and group your students for small group instruction or RTI (response to intervention).
Each pack contains all ELA and Math Common Core Standards. These puppies are each over 800+ pages and are text editable! This means that when you open up the PDF file, you can type right into the documents! Isn't that great? It will make my teacher data tracking and grading so much easier, and I even plan to use these as a checklist of the standards! Click the pictures below to check them out!
Each grade level pack comes with these different binder covers with room to type your name!
I've also included different sized binder spines to make your binders cute! {Very important!! ;)}
Here's a bit more information on these products, as well as ideas on how to use them!
Here are some pictures of the pages included in this pack! With this page below, the standards are written on top and color coded for each domain. There are two versions of this page, one says Pre-Assessment on top and the other says Post-Assessment on top. You can type or write your students' names on the document and either put their score or a check mark under Intervention, At Standard, or Enrichment depending on how well they did on their assessments.
With these pages below, all of the standards are written in number form on the top of the page (still color coded by domain). You can use this as a checklist or you can put students' final grades or assessment grades under the standards. This is great to look at when you need a quick snapshot of how students are doing on a particular standard.
These pages below are great for reporting to parents! I plan to use these as report cards or progress reports throughout the year. Once again all of the domains are color coded for easy organization and the standards are written out for both parents and students to see.
How awesome is this page below?! You can keep track of all pre-assessments, assignments, formative assessments, and post-assessments for each student. You can also check a color coded box next to each assignment/assessment to quickly see how the student is doing with mastery of the standard, or to quickly place them in small groups for any intervention, re-teaching, or enrichment groups.
If you want to type the above page instead, I have it set up so that you can just click one of the colored boxes and it automatically puts in a check mark for you!
You can then take the above information, and use the color coded boxes to form your groups using this page below. These pages are also color coded by domain, and have the standards written on top. I plan to use these when forming my small groups for instruction or RTI groups. I typically have so many students going in and out of my class for interventions throughout the day, and so many adults that I need to communicate this info to, so this will help all of us stay organized.
Remember that all of these pages are text editable too. This means you just open up the PDF file and type away!
The pages I have shown you are only a small sample of these 800+ page packs! Click here to download a preview of my 3rd grade pack, click here to download the preview of my 4th grade pack and click here to download the preview of my 5th grade pack in order to see more of what's included!
For those of you that have been reading this standards based grading blog post series from the beginning, as promised, click here to grab all of the info in PDF form! This PDF also includes my cupcake analogy poster shown below!
Have a great day!
