Guide to Packet Naming

Date of Last Update: April 2026

Intended Audience: Ponder Paper curriculum admins

Context: Guidelines for naming a new packet

Below are guidelines for naming your packet:

• The name should be descriptive in a way that people can understand.
• Do not include the packet number as part of the name (this will be added in a later step). For assessments, however, packet number and name may be the same or similar.
• Do not include information that is already captured in the curriculum’s name (e.g. grade, subject, region).
• The name should be unique (e.g. for a two-day lesson, include “day 1” and “day 2” in the name to distinguish them).
• Multi-day/multi-book IAs should be entered as a single packet (combined into one PDF).
• Do not include the date of administration, since this information could change and/or vary by region or school.
