Glossary
Scope and sequence
A scope and sequence is the list of topics a course covers (the scope) and the order they are taught in (the sequence).
Curriculum publishers usually print one for each level. It shows what comes before and after any lesson, which helps with placement and with planning a year.
Example
A math level's scope and sequence might run from place value through multi-digit multiplication to fractions.
For the record you keep
A child's position in the sequence is the most useful single fact about a subject. Tracking the current lesson makes it obvious what comes next.
One record for any method
Lessons, the learning log and work samples all count toward attendance, hours and the year-end packet.
