The teacher shelf is being built.
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 Mayor's 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 Writer's Workshop 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.
Every workbook prints its answer key after each quiz. The teacher shelf adds the same keys as standalone PDFs for your binder, every chapter in every department.
Scope: 16 workbooks today, 40 at full catalog.
Teacher's guide PDFs per SKU.
Lesson sequencing, differentiation notes, common student moves and how to respond. 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 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.
The answer key a student needs is printed right after each quiz, where checking your own work is part of the lesson. Grading rubrics, tier descriptors, and standards citations are a different thing: they tell a student what their teacher is grading them on, and they belong in the teacher's hands, not in the back of the workbook. 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.
Get notified when the teacher portal opens.
The first rubric set arrives with the Writing Company Grade 5 workbook. Email us, and we'll tell you the day it's ready.
