I used materials from Miss Nannini (TPT) for math assessment (check out her assessment for grade 4 math, along with her assessment binder). http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Standards-Based-Assessment-4th-Grade-Math-ALL-STANDARDS-Common-Core-300905<br />SHe also just published assessments for ELA, but I haven't purchased them yet. However, I like the preview. Since we've moved to standards based grading, having material that is truly aligned with the CCSS is crucial. <br />You can also check out my livebinder at http://www.livebinders.com/play/play?id=511812&backurl=/shelf/my . I made it public, and sorted out what I use for Reading Street. I also have a livebinder for math that you could check out as well.<br />I'm back teaching after 14 years as principal of a private school, and found that I needed to find new, current material. All the above is what I worked on during the past year!Karen Hodgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00282562857037657611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935214762649579503.post-48849203082231451902013-07-16T19:11:14.175-04:002013-07-16T19:11:14.175-04:00That's a great idea, Wendy!

I want to tread lightly as Ohio is implementing a new state wide teacher evaluation program. I'm definitely a color outside the lines kind of girl!Brave Teacher Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07149394953708437763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8935214762649579503.post-46190764335004891682013-07-16T10:25:17.547-04:002013-07-16T10:25:17.547-04:00I have always been a black sheep when it comes to ...I have always been a black sheep when it comes to the text book. In the past our district came up with a sequence of the standards that needed to be taught and a general guide of when to teach them. We used the text as a resource. This year I will be teaching ELA and social studies. Our district adopted the Literacy by Design. I do not use the text for ELA. I use the resources that came with it-- but I have planned my year around my Social Studies units.
