Episode 28 – What to Include in a Scope and Sequence for Newcomers

In this episode, I discuss the importance of creating a scope and sequence for your EL students and how to get it done over the summer. I have a ton of flexibility being an ESL teacher. This is great, but it can also make it difficult to know that I am on track throughout the year. I have found that a scope and sequence can really help to make sure I have a plan to anchor my instruction and scaffold my teaching toward my students’ goals.

It can be as general or specific as you would like. It is a living document and can be tweaked throughout the year as you get to know your students and their specific needs. Listen to this episode to learn more about my process for creating a scope and sequence specifically for newcomers, even when you don’t have a curriculum to follow.

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
  • TMy process for creating academic and social emotional goals for my students
  • Using my grammar teaching sequence available for free on my website
