This two-day, 12-hour training is a follow-up to the "Scope & Sequence Part 1: Developing an ELA Scope & Sequence" training or the "Designing Integrated ELA Units" training. It will provide an opportunity for each program team to work on fine-tuning its Scope and Sequence for English Language Arts (ELA). Major ideas related to the ELA Scope and Sequence will be reviewed on the first morning and "sticking points" will be surfaced and addressed as a group. Participants will help shape the format of the workshop to ensure that it best meets their needs.
The remaining time will be spent working in teams to revise and further develop the program's Scope and Sequence, with periodic opportunities provided for feedback and guidance from the facilitator, state staff, and/or other participants. PDP's will be awarded upon successful completion of the two-day training and all follow-up activities.
