IDENTIFIERS Idaho; Scope and Sequence
ABSTRACTThis guide presents a list of writing skills that all
students should know and be able to do at each grade level from kindergartenthrough sixth grade, as determined by the Idaho State Board of Education. Itpresents, grade by grade, a list of target skills and sample assessmentmethods. The guide also includes columns identifying three processes that ateacher takes the student through for each skill, allowing an "X" to beplaced in the column next to the skill where it is expected to be introduced,reinforced, and/or finally placed in long-term memory. This is intended tohelp the teacher determine the lesson and amount of repeated practice thatwill help achieve mastery of the skill. Three thinking levels (factual,applied/analysis, and synthesis) are also identified in columns. Thesethinking levels may help the teacher develop an assessment to measure theskill in question. The guide is intended to help build a basis for curriculumdevelopment, instructional strategy, and assessment practices, and provideconsistency across the state in what is being taught and learned. Schools maywish to use the guide as a resource in developing and writing curriculum atthe local level. The guide will also help provide parents, teachers, andstudents with knowledge of what is being taught in a logical scope andsequence by grade level. An appendix contains a scoring standard forkindergarten writing. (SR)
