lead4ward (Texas Only) - TEKS Scaffold Report – SchoolCity

TEKS Scaffold Reports are great tools for vertically aligning student expectations (SEs) and investigating concept development across grade levels. TEKS Scaffold Reports are generated as Excel files, and include individual tabs for Process Standards and TEKS Clusters. TEKS Cluster pages display SEs in subcluster bundles, with aligned standards for prior grades in descending order below. TEKS Scaffold Reports are only available for Math and Science STAAR-tested grades, and only allow for viewing of STAAR assessment data. Each Checkpoint for the report may be populated with one or more years of STAAR assessment data. This lesson walks through how to create a TEKS Scaffold Report.

lead4ward reports are only available for Texas districts. Texas districts can request these reports be enabled through their Customer Support Manager or the SchoolCity Support team.
