Check back often, I will add a lesson series after I finish teach it. I will post each lesson with basic outline, along with suggested illustrations, video clips, and other resources.
I am currently teaching my third time through a 3 year middle school multi-year curriculum that I developed for my ministry setting. Below you will find the most current version of my scope and sequence. It is a "living and active" document that I have have recently rewritten and revised based on my current group of students.
I about a year ago I did an article on "multi-year curriculum development" for Youth Worker Magazine as part of their spring issue on "Teaching", based on this. I posted the an extended version of the article here Do I Really Need a Map? Let me know what you think and add your comments. I welcome any questions or reflections you have.
