Brand-coherent teacher resources, not utility downloads.
Every Grades 1-8 ELA publisher ships teacher resources somewhere. Most ship them as bare PDFs with no voice, no design, no continuity with the student workbook. Grammaropolis is different: the rubric voice is the Mayor's, the tier system is one consistent Gold / Silver / Bronze / Not Yet (no proliferating frameworks), and the same rubric criteria that drive the Writing Studio AI certification drive your teacher portal. In-classroom grading and digital practice align by design.
Four kinds of resource.
Every workbook ships with corresponding teacher-side artifacts. Workbooks themselves contain only positive student check-your-work checklists (no tier descriptors, no CCSS citations, no grading criteria). The grading apparatus lives here, behind an email gate, on the books.grammaropolis.com/teachers portal.
Grade-aligned rubrics for every Writing Company chapter.
Full Gold / Silver / Bronze / Not Yet rubric format with Mayor voice in the framing and tier reactions. The same rubric criteria that drive the Writing Studio AI certification drive the teacher portal, so your in-classroom grading and your students' digital practice are aligned by architecture, not by coincidence.
Scope: Approximately 40-70 rubrics at Grades 1-8 full coverage.
Answer keys for every workbook chapter.
Email-gated so the materials stay in teacher hands, not in student hands. Every chapter in every department. Full answer keys, not just a sampling.
Scope: 13 SKUs today, 40 at full catalog.
Teacher's guide PDFs per SKU.
Lesson sequencing, differentiation notes, common student moves and how to respond. Format precedent is the Writing Company Grade 5 pilot's teacher quick-start (drafts/writing_company_g5/07_teacher_quickstart_chapter1.md). Two pages per chapter; five minutes to read; teacher is ready to lead the lesson cold.
Scope: One guide per workbook, generated alongside the workbook itself.
Standards alignment certificates per SKU.
CCSS, TEKS, Florida B.E.S.T., New York Next Generation. Pulled from the same Standards Coverage Explorer that powers the public-facing alignment tool. Print-ready branded PDFs. Sign-off-ready for your principal or board.
Scope: Four certificates per workbook (one per framework).
Why email-gated.
The pedagogical reason.
Workbook back matter is a place students go. Answer keys, grading rubrics, and standards citations don't belong there. A student looking at the back of the book should find a positive "Did I get this?" checklist (yes / not yet / try again), not a tier descriptor or a CCSS code that tells them what their teacher is grading them on. The materials that drive teacher grading live here so they don't leak into the student-facing experience.
The practical reason.
Email-gating lets us know who is using the teacher resources. That tells us which workbooks are being adopted in classrooms (signal we don't currently get from Amazon retail). It also lets us send the right teacher the right update when a new rubric set ships or a workbook is revised. Email gate, no spam, real signal both ways.
