Bank of Standards and Skills?

Tracy Walthard

We have just started using Blackbaud and are building our report cards. The teachers have created their own standards and skills for report cards, but where asking if Blackbaud had a "bank" of subject by grade skills that are commonly applied.  They don't, but suggested I reach out to the community to see if schools had recommendations of places to look or ability to share.  We are a K-8 school.

Hi Tracy Walthard‍,


I see a peer hasn't answered your question yet.


I searched "grade skills" and found this thread that showed some grade skills in the answers of their threads. https://community.blackbaud.com/forums/viewtopic/300/49421


mention them in this question to see if they have anything they could share.


In harmony,

I just saw this post and am currently working on this very project. This quarter the emails back and forth between teachers and me have been particularly heavy just to see if I can use a skill already in BB instead of creating a new one with a word or two that is different. I have exported all 2,366 Assessment skills, and my ultimate goal is to move them from the Excel spreadsheet to a Google sheet, so I don't have to keep resharing, but if you have Office 365 that will accomplish the same result. I am trying to make the spreadsheet more user-friendly by sorting the skills by subject, and into a separate tab. It is still in work in progress. The downside for this method is I have to remember to add all the new objectives to the spreadsheet each quarter, or it becomes obsolete. I think that is the number one reason I haven't done this before. I wish there was some way through BB, for teachers to be able to see this database before they edit their report card skills spreadsheets for me but I haven't found a way to do that yet. Hope this helps.

Wow- that's a massive
project!  Our teachers are revamping their report cards and
are hoping for a bank that they can look at to set our skills and
benchmarks.  Are you able to share your document outside of
your organization?
