Why teachers use these
Why California teachers use these
Almost every roster in California is a multilingual roster, so one lesson has to work for a newcomer and a GATE student in the same period. That is what the four worksheet levels are for. Add a district that adopts on its own cycle, a high school shelf where nothing is adopted at all, and CAASPP interim blocks landing mid-unit, and a complete unit with slides and keys saves you a weekend.
What's covered
What each download includes
One purchase is a full unit rather than a single worksheet, so it covers a run of lessons instead of one warm-up.
- Four tiered worksheet levels
- Editable slide deck
- Answer keys for every task
- Lesson plan with pacing
- Print and Google-ready versions
Make it work for everyone
Integrated ELD and formative evidence
The four levels let you run integrated ELD inside the content lesson and pull the lower tiers for a designated ELD block without preparing twice. Because the Word files are editable, you can add a sentence frame or word bank to each tier. Collect one tier-two and one tier-four response as your formative evidence for the week.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Are these aligned to the California Common Core State Standards?
They are written to the concepts and skills the CA CCSS covers. They are not certified by the California Department of Education and they do not appear on any state adoption list. In practice most units map onto a standard cleanly, and since the files are editable you can drop your own standard code into the header before printing.
Will these help with CAASPP and Smarter Balanced item types?
Indirectly, which is the right way round. The units build the close reading, reasoning and short constructed response habits that Smarter Balanced actually samples. They are not practice tests and they do not imitate the online interface, so pair them with your district interim blocks when you want students comfortable with the tools.
Our district has adopted nothing for high school. Can I build a course from these?
Teachers do. Because grades nine to twelve adoption is a local decision in California, many departments stitch a course together unit by unit. Buy the ones that fit your scope and sequence, reorder them in the Word files, and keep the answer keys as a shared department reference. The license covers your own classroom.
