28. What to include in a scope and sequence for newcomers
In this episode we 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 in being an ESL teacher. This is great, but it can also be difficult to know that you are on track throughout the year. I have found that a scope and sequence can really help in making sure you have a plan to anchor your instruction and scaffold your teaching toward your 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.
