Scope and Sequence provides an overview of standards coverage across preps for the selected course and date range. At a glance, the table shows how many teachers who teach the course have included the relevant learning standards in their Planners. Beacon pulls information from the teacher’s preps to determine which teachers to include in the analysis and whether or not the standard is included in their plans for the selected dates. A deeper dive into the analysis allows you to see exactly which teachers have or have not included the learning standard in their Planners for the selected date or date range.
How does Scope and Sequence help ensure standards coverage?
This analysis tool pulls data from teacher Planners to create an overview of standards coverage, allowing you to quickly scan for missed standards and assess when and how often certain standards are taught.
For example, if you want to make sure that your 9th grade Science teachers cover learning standards about lab safety during the first week of school, you can set the date range and select 9th Grade Science. When the table appears, select a standard to view. Dates on which teachers included this standard in their Planners are highlighted in the table. The Details Panel on the right shows which teachers included the standard in the date range, which included the standard outside of the date range, and which did not include the standard in their Planners.
If you find that some teachers prefer to teach this standard in the second week of school instead of the first, you might reach out to that group to find their reasoning and make adjustments accordingly.
