List one goal, or topic, for each month the course is taught. After you decide how you will teach the goals and subtopics of your subject, you can create a scope and sequence that lists the goals to be taught each month. The main point of this document is to place your goals in a logical order and to determine how much time to dedicate to teaching each goal. The scope and sequence will give you an overview of what you will teach during the full course. Use this sequential list of goals as an outline as you plan your lessons. It will also help you pace yourself as you teach. As a result, by the end of the year, you should have taught everything that your students are expected to learn, as identified in your state or district standards. You will know what to teach and when to teach it.
