Episode 114 - The What and Why of a Scope and Sequence for EL Newcomers
Description
When I ask teachers: if you could have a magic wand, what would you wish for you in your teaching situation, I get so many requests for a scope and sequence for newcomers and for a newcomer curriculum. So in today’s episode, I wanted to go back to the basics and talk a little bit about the scope and sequence for English language learners. I will be answering the questions about what the scope and sequence is, why it is an important document to have, what is included in it, and how ELL teachers can create their own, especially for newcomers. I will also be sharing an example of my scope and sequence and a link for you to grab it at the end of this episode.
What you will hear about a scope and sequence for newcomers:
- What is included in a scope and sequence
- How to create a scope and sequence when you don’t have a curriculum or a team
- The best ways to incorporate Common Core State Standards, ELD standards, and WIDA standards into your scope and sequence
