These are an assortment of things that I have found, developed and/or used,
that other teachers may find useful.
Materials I Have Created
- Excel Periodic
Table: this version of the periodic table was created in
Microsoft Excel to make it easy to change/edit which information is
displayed.
- Grade Scaling
Systems: a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that gives several
options for scaling grades, given a set of raw scores and a desired
class average. The results of each system are displayed in tables and
pie charts.
- Classroom
Signs: this is a Microsoft PowerPoint document containing
the random, sometimes weird, sometimes motivational signs that I have
posted in my classroom.
- Feedback Form & Feedback Data Analysis
spreadsheet: this is the form I use for solicitng feedback
from my students. I type the data into the spreadsheet, which plots it
for me on stacked-bar graphs. The stacked bar graphs look like the
following data from my classes from January 2008.
- Excel grade
sheet: this is a WinZip file containing a Microsoft Excel
grade book spreadsheet I developed over a period of three years. (I've
had to switch to GradeQuick
because my school uses it, but I think the Excel spreadsheet did a
better job of calculating grades flexibly and recommending comments
based on some simple formulas.) Warning: if you're not comfortable
working with Excel formulas, you may need some help implementing
it.
- Test Strategies and
other advice that I give my students.
Best Practices
- Five Best
Practices that have had the strongest positive effect on my
classroom and my students.
