Reflect
How many units are you on track to complete this year? How does that compare to last year?
How will you adjust instruction in subsequent years, based on this year’s pacing?
What key factors inform the unit sequence you use?
To what extent does your school teach units in the given sequence? How do you know?
How do you use the Unit Dependency Chart to plan unit sequencing? If sequencing has been modified, to what extent does the modified plan reflect the intent of the curriculum?
