Some Examples of Yearlong Plans for Your Consideration
Mary Shaffer provided the **Grade 8 Curriculum Map** for St. Vrain in two formats. The year-at-a-glance document seems like an effective way for you to list all the standards and show what units they're in. This could be what I called in the instructions something like Map 2.



Shirl Chumley helped open Mountain Vista High School in Douglas County and has been a frequent speaker in EDUC463. On a recent visit to class, she distributed the attached **curriculum maps for 9-12.** These will give you another perspective on yearlong planning.



This is the publisher **Scholastic's** way of organizing a yearlong curriculum in three courses for grades 6-9, with a total of 8 units per year: []. What do you think of this organization? What would you change? If your school were using this program, how would you use it and what would you add or modify?

Springboard is a **College Board** pre-AP curriculum. Schools around the country use this, including some PSD schools. Full disclosure: I've done a little consulting for them over the years but nothing with a major impact on what you'll see on the links. You can see an overview (a version of a yearlong plan) for each grade, 6-12. This might give you a way to organize your yearlong plan, although you would need to modify the columns.

PSD Supplemental Novels Reading List
When thinking of required reading for your plans, aim for a variety of genres. I'm pretty sure PSD does, too, and that may be why these are "supplemental." [|PSD Supplemental Novels.pdf]

**Reading Lists from Smagorinsky's Virtual Library of Conceptual Units**
These outlines list sources and readings from various genres rather than complete units. []
