This year’s toolkits are greatly expanded and not only include all of the standards alignment documents and student worksheets we have created in the past, but the instructional strategies handbooks related to the various domains of the ELA standards. We have also created Excel workbooks for the ELA standards K-6 which correlate every blueprint standard with the phrasing from the released test questions for the CST. These workbooks have columns for teacher planning aligned with CST academic language, along with columns for benchmark pacing. Our goal is to support teachers in standards aligned planning so that students and teachers can get credit for their hard work on the CST.
The documents have all been pre-loaded onto a 2 GIG flash drive, which can be used, in addition, for the storing and sharing of any personal documents.
