Scope & Sequence

Scope and Sequence

The scope and sequence is a comprehensive list of concepts, ideas, and topics that the school curriculum has to cover through lessons, lectures, and tests. Each "Grade" Link provides the summary of what the child should know by the end of that Grade.

Scope is the depth and range of the content to be taught at a specific grade level and the development of the content across grade levels. Sequence is the order in which the content should be taught for the best learning within a grade level and across grade levels.
