My name is Chris Poynter and I have taught in Westerville, Ohio since 2007. I love this job and love talking education with other people who love it too. Before beginning college, I spent 4 years in the Marine Corps infantry where I learned much of what drives me today. My hope is that this website will make the process of RTI/SST, from Tier 1-3, much more efficient. A little more about me below:

Other Projects/Shareables:
This is just a standard slide presentation for an introduction to GAFE products. Feel free to share/use, it might save you some time.
Presentation to introduce people to the concept of gamification. The game links within the presentation will not be active but you'll still get the point. Feel free to share/use.
These I don't have a shareable link for every grade band and every level posted here. Linked is 1st-grade level 1. Using Google Sheets, the standards-based progress reports for K-5 ELP dynamically translate English versions (on tab 1) to Spanish (on tab 2) and Somali (on tab 3). Very helpful for our ELL families.
Using a set of Google Sheets at each building, and then connecting them to a Sheet at Central Office, the district has the ability to track in real time how many devices (Chromebooks) are working. This is the building-level Sheet.
