Civics EOC Data Tracker

Civics Interactive Notebook

Processing and Assessing

Track your kids per testing category and per standard. As well as extra space for growth, retesting, and PARENT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

Why you should purchase: Standard Based Tracking made easy!

Administrators always say to put the tracking in the student's hands, make sure you are keeping data, and never offer ways to help you do these! Well, that's where I come in! I sat down with the test specs, essential standards, and standard breakdown sheet to create this awesome excel sheet that you could easily print, distribute, or put in a google sheet that your students can track THEMSELVES! Plus this is also a great tracker for PLC's to ensure all students are learning the content you are on the same page. This has made our team meetings go SO much smoother! This is my favorite tool in my classroom.
