Standards Tracker¶
SDA Commons Wiki · South High School
Your Standards Tracker is the one document that shows everything you've done in SDA — every studio, every standard, every score. You'll use it to plan your next studio, check your progress toward covering all the standards, and show Mr. Reese where your gaps are.
Get Your Tracker¶

Your Four Tabs¶
Tab 1 — Start Here¶
Instructions and your name/year field. Read it once at the beginning of the year.
Tab 2 — Studio Log¶
One row per studio. Fill this in the day you get your score from Mr. Reese.
| What to fill in | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| Essential Question | Your studio contract |
| Primary Standard | Your studio contract |
| Era or Unit | Your studio contract |
| Score | Mr. Reese tells you |
| Crosswalk Standard + Score | Your studio contract (if applicable) |
| Demo Mode | Your studio contract |
| Expo Quarter | Which quarter expo your studio was exhibited at |
| Date Done | The day you received your score |
Use the dropdown arrows for Score, Demo Mode, and Expo Quarter — don't type, just click.
Tab 3 — Standards Map¶
All your ELA and SS standards in one view. Shows how many times you've hit each one.
- White / "○ Not yet" — you haven't targeted this standard yet
- Yellow / "➤ Hit once" — you've hit it once; aim for a second
- Green / "✓ Hit twice" — done; keep this color by end of year
Fill in the Studio # and Score each time you target a standard. The Status column updates automatically. For SS standards, also fill in which Era or Unit your studio was in.
Goal: Hit each standard twice by end of year. That's 18 standards × 2 hits = 36 total.
The 18 standards:
ELA (12 standards) — see the ELA Proficiency Scales for full definitions and score breakdowns.

Social Studies (6 standards):
Grade 9 — World History: WH.6_12.1 through WH.6_12.6. One standard per broad historical era. WH Standards →
Grade 10 — US History: USH.1 through USH.6. One standard per unit. USH Standards →
Tab 4 — Crosswalk Map¶
A grid showing which ELA + SS standard pairings you've completed in crosswalk studios. When you finish a crosswalk studio, write the studio number in the cell where your two standards intersect.
Most cells in this grid will stay blank — that's expected. Your goal is to spread your pairings across different rows and columns over the year, not repeat the same combination.
The One Rule¶
Fill in your Studio Log the day you get your score from Mr. Reese.
It takes two minutes. If you wait until later, you'll forget the details. An outdated tracker isn't useful to you or to Mr. Reese.
How Mr. Reese Uses This¶
During studio planning conversations — especially at the start of each new studio — Mr. Reese will look at your Standards Map with you. He'll use it to:
- Identify which standards you haven't touched yet
- Notice if you keep targeting the same standard repeatedly
- Suggest which standard would fill your biggest gap next
- Check whether you're on track for crosswalk requirements
The tracker isn't a grade — it's a planning tool. The more accurate yours is, the better Mr. Reese can help you design your next studio.
Keeping Your Tracker in Google Drive¶
Your tracker lives in your personal SDA folder in The Commons Google Drive. The folder structure should look like this:
The Commons
└── Grade 9 ELA / World History
└── [Your Last Name, First Name]
├── Studio Contracts
├── Standards Tracker ← this file
└── [Studio folders]
If your folder isn't set up yet, ask Mr. Reese.
