29. How can having a newcomer curriculum guide save you time

I have gotten so many questions about curriculum guides and the resources included in them and I have decided to address those issues in this episode. The resources I found online when I searched for ESL Curriculum Guides lacked the specificity that I wanted. So, I created a newcomer curriculum guide myself. This is a done-for-you newcomer curriculum guide that you can purchase and download with the click of a button below. I also share the process I took to create it in case you would like to create a newcomer curriculum guide yourself. I know some teachers like to do things like this themselves because it helps them internalize their curriculum and tailor materials to their students.What you will hear in this episode: What a curriculum guide is and what it includesHow a curriculum guide differs from a scope and sequenceThe ways  a curriculum guide provides both accountability and flexibility throughout the yearThe steps you can take to build your own curriculum guideWhere you can find a template or a done-for-you curriculum guide to useResourcesAs mentioned in the episode, I am linking some useful resources!Grades 6-12 Curriculum GuideK-5 ESL Curriculum guideCurriculum guide template You may also be interested inThe ESL Teaching Roadmap – membership community for middle and high school ESL/ELL teachers.
