Files

Alignment Tools

These files will allow you to ensure that you are covering all standards in each grade level. All are in Open Office format.

They look like this:

Standards run along the left side, and units, lessons, papers, and projects can be entered along the top. You can enter check marks or notes in the corresponding box to show that which lessons address which standards. The first row of the table is automatically repeated on every page.
