To engage in valid pre and post testing or benchmark testing, it is imperative to first identify the standards that are to be taught during each nine week term.  Thinkgate’s Dayframe product enables educators to electronically manage the identification and delivery of standards through pacing guides, unit plans, lesson plans and student plans.  Pacing guides allow a system or school to designate the order and term in which the standards should be taught.  This provides continuity of instruction across the system and/or school.  Unit plans and lesson plans help teachers identify what the standards are and the methods that will be used to deliver instruction.  Student plans can also be drawn up in Dayframe and accessed by any teacher that student sees during the day via Dayframe’s web interface.  Student plans can include IEP’s, EIP’s, ELL plans, SST plans, or any other document your system uses.  Unit, lesson, and student plans are all completely customizable.  Dayframe lends itself to any best practices model used for instruction. 

Dayframe provides a flexible framework for system and school documentation.  Once information is entered into the product it can be accessed by all relevant staff members from any location at any time.  Plans will no longer just exist in one person’s file drawer, but will become living documents that aid in the exchange of ideas and promote communication across the school district.
