I had a few questions about my 2012-2013 pacing guide so I thought I would answer them to clear up some confusion.   Where did you find all this information? I am fortunate in that my county has given its teachers several documents (scope and sequences) for each subject.  I took these large documents and pulled out the topic/standard for the time frame they required. There is ALOT more information/standards included, this pacing guide is just a snapshot of each week per subject. Why/How did you pick this sequence of standards?
