Creating a Scope and Sequence What goes into planning a course?
So What’s a Scope and Sequence Anyway? Just what it says: A Scope of what you will teach and a Sequence of when, for teaching an entire course. Includes the order of topics and the week you plan to teach it.
Think in Terms of… • TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) • What order makes sense? • How many days is it worth?
How many days? • In a school year? • 180 days • In a semester? • 90 days • In a 6 week period? • 30 days
Does it Matter? • Does the order of topics matter? • YES! • Will the order be different for different teachers? • YES! • Can you teach things not on TEKS? • YES! • Do you HAVE TO teach TEKS? • YES!
