The Scope and Sequence of Secondary RE Content

Scope and Sequence?

Scope The breadth and depth of content to be covered in a curriculum at any one time (e.g. week, term, year, over a student’s school life).

Sequence The order in which content is presented to learners over time. The order in which you do it.

Scope and Sequence? Together a scope and sequence of learning bring order to the delivery of content, supporting the maximising of student learning and offering sustained opportunities for learning. Without a considered scope and sequence there is the risk of ad hoc content delivery and the missing of significant learning.
