WHS Focus on Instruction
September 2021
...and we're off!
I'm loving being here full-time on the HS campus. My big goal this year is to be more present myself - both physically and mentally! With just one campus to serve, my schedule is already looking more productive than ever. Many of you have been seeing me in your classrooms, and everyone should expect it at some point going forward. If you're interested in starting a coaching cycle, or just want to know more about it, don't hesitate to email me - or stop me in the hallway. If my office door is open, you're welcome to come on in as well!
In this edition of my Smore, I'm re-sharing a few tools I've created over the years to help teachers out. Every tool has a link to a tutorial video at the bottom, and don't hesitate to ask if you need help (or just have any questions!).

Grading Tool
Renaissance Scale Score Conversion
This spreadsheet takes Renaissance's scale scores for math and reading for every grade level and testing window and turns them into a grade on a scale of 0-100%. I used the Unified scale cut scores and mapped out an appropriate curve to make it easier to compare apples to apples instead of apples to oranges. Click here to see the explanation video, then click the image above to be taken to the tool to make a copy for yourself.
