I use reference charts all over my classroom, but decided to make ones to be used in a vertical flip-chart. I like using these when I'm reading with a small group to help them focus on reading skills and strategies (main idea/key details, fact vs opinion, figurative language, etc).. It is multiple pages long.

I created this desk reference chart for students who have difficulty spelling and reading (ELL or Students with Disabilities). They can refer to it to double-check their spelling of numbers in word-form. NOTE: there are 3 charts on 1 page.

Specific to New York: I created a Word Document that teachers can use to organize their Grades 1 and 2 ELL students according to the NYSESLAT scores. All you have to do is input your students on the left hand side, and their Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing levels are all explained. This is very useful for both the classroom teacher, but also to share out with any other teacher who services those students. I used the information from the NYSED website (publicly available to all).

I created this Word Document (2-pages so you can double-side it) to keep track of my flexible math groups. Each page has sections for the date, lesson, topic, mini-lesson, guided practice, 3 student observation slots with lines for notes, and a check off if RTI 2 was successful, or a check off for a need for RTI 3. Keeps your data organized and easy to find. Hint: I'll use 1 page per day.

After hearing how crappy our note-taking is for guided/independent reading, I created this Word Document to better record objectives, observations, skills/strategies, book title and level, and most importantly according to Danielson's Framework: a Next Steps/Follow-Up section. I hope this helps you to organize your work. It is two pages,as I suggest printing it out double-sided to save paper and reduce bulk. You can edit it to suit your needs. You may even wish to use it for IEP goals as well.

I created a Word Document that helps you organize things when you have a class trip. It's set up so that you can list the names and check off different items, like "permissions slip, money, chaperone, etc." There's even a check off for Epi Pens and Asthma Pumps. You can change the list to suit your needs.

A word document that you can change to suit your needs: it organizes names, when you send an invitation, if there's a response, if the meeting's confirmed, etc.

I created an IEP goal tracker on Word. It has a space for the student's name, diagnosis, goal, etc. You can use it to track the progress of your student's IEP goals.
