Workshop description
The Kilgo Scope & Sequence workshops support
school districts and campuses in developing and implementing dynamic curriculum
plans, and identifying a specific sequence in which to teach the Texas Essential
Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and Student Expectations (SEs). These sessions
provide an organized curriculum framework for teaching and assessing the
TEKS/SEs to the depth and complexity of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and
Skills (TAKS) at all grade levels, not just the tested grade levels, and include
all of the components critical for improving student achievement equitably for
all students, grades K-12.
The 2009 Scope & Sequence workshops in
science, mathematics, language arts/reading, and social studies, grades K-12,
will include:
-
an overview of the
latest Kilgo research on the Texas curriculum standards, the TEKS/SEs, and
the TAKS;
-
Scope and Sequence
charts developed by Margaret Kilgo identifying a specific sequence in which
to teach the TEKS/SEs based on statewide TAKS data trends (charts provided
in hard copy and on CD in an Excel format);
-
procedures for
customizing the Kilgo Scope and Sequence charts in the development and
implementation of a local school district curriculum plan and adding local
district resources; and
-
process for
developing and organizing the district and/or campus assessment plan,
including how to write questions 100% aligned with the TEKS/SEs to the depth
and complexity of TAKS.
 The 2009 Scope and Sequence workshop for English Language Arts Reading (ELAR) will
include all new Scope and Sequence Charts, K-12, with the new,
revised ELAR TEKS/SEs scheduled for full implementation in the 2009-2010 school
year beginning in August 2009. The Scope and Sequence will
include Margaret Kilgo’s research outlining a comparison between the previous
and the new ELAR TEKS/SEs to support teachers, principals, and curriculum
administrators in making the transition from the old to the new ELAR TEKS/SEs.
Components of Model Scope
& Sequence Charts
-
Sequence for pacing instruction of the
TEKS/SEs in the model Scope & Sequence charts based on current state student
achievement data trends and Kilgo research on the relationship between the
TEKS/SEs and TAKS
-
Coding of
“high stakes” objectives, TEKS/SEs tested on TAKS
-
Coding
alignment of the TAKS-M and SAT in reading and mathematics
-
Vertical
alignment for reading and writing, grades K-12, so skills can be introduced
at earlier grade levels and developed to mastery prior to testing on TAKS
-
Vertical
alignment for mathematics, K-12, so skills and concepts can be introduced at
earlier grade levels and developed to mastery prior to testing on TAKS
-
Vertical
alignment for science, grades 1-8, so skills and concepts can be introduced
at earlier grade levels
-
Vertical
alignment for the new, revised ELAR TEKS/SE, K-12, in reading comprehension
so all thinking skills are introduced in a developmental sequence and
developed to mastery prior to testing on TAKS across all TEKS strands and
genres. The vertical alignment in the new ELAR Scope and Sequence charts is
based on Margaret Kilgo’s current and new research on the relationship
between the reading comprehension curriculum standards and the state
standardized assessment and statewide Reading TAKS data trends.
Model Scope & Sequence
charts are provided in hard copy and on CD in an Excel format.
Scope & Sequence Workshop Training Components
