SD Standards Reports

Each teacher is to teach to the South Dakota State Standards for their grade level and subject area(s). Planbook is used at some levels to do such planning of lessons. This program allows for end of semester or end of year reports to show how many times a standard was taught. Some may not use planbook but instead use other methods of tracking standards. Each teacher needs to provide one (1) report of their standards taught.
