Develop a Curriculum Planning Worksheet:
These worksheets can assist educators in aligning curriculum and assessments. After reviewing the benchmarks, check the specific grade level benchmarks to be taught, then press 'Create Worksheet'. The resulting worksheet will list the selected grade level benchmarks along with the suggested vocabulary, information, and skills students need to master at that grade level.
 
To generate a worksheet select at least one benchmark below or select all.

For schools using the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) or the Iowa Tests of Educational Development (ITED) to assess grade level skills, a key has been provided to assist in selecting essential or core skills. Benchmarks assessed on the ITBS/ITED are indicated. Asterisks indicate how often a benchmark appears on the ITBS/ITED: *(1-2 questions) **(3-5 questions) or *** (more than 5 questions).
