Scope and Sequence
This article provides an overview of the learning objectives, curriculum and activities included in Compass Curriculum's engaging, standards-aligned curriculum.
Finding the right lesson is critical to an effective Compass Curriculum implementation.
The core of our Compass program is the Lesson Library, where you can find lessons and activities for social-emotional learning and specific topics.
In the Scope and Sequence, lessons are organized into our preset curriculum for Student (SEL), Mental Health, Prevention, and Resiliency Education. We have selected and scheduled the lessons for our preset curriculum according to the expertise of our curriculum developers and our clients. You can use the preset curriculum as a guide when creating and scheduling assignments in your Compass program.
Of course, you can also assign any lesson in the Lesson Library for any student at any time as well as create a custom assignment schedule based on the needs of your school.
Each lesson is organized under a general theme, such as Social Media Use or Substance Abuse. For each theme, Compass offers different lessons to scaffold the learning grade-by-grade. For example, in the theme of Academic and Study Skills, 7th graders will learn about long-term goal setting, and 8th graders will build on this skill by learning how to ask for help when they need it. Refer to the 'details' column in the Lesson Library to see the grade for which the lesson is intended and the 'theme' column to see which specific theme is covered in the lesson.
We will periodically update both the Scope and Sequence and the Lessons List as we add new lessons to your Compass program.
