Hello, Woodland Hills VEX GO Teachers! I hope the beginning of your school year has gone as smoothly as possible! In this post, you will find the scope and sequence document we talked about in our training, as well as many helpful links that will help you get started teaching with VEX GO!
Here is the scope and sequence document. It details the plan for your first 9 weeks of teaching with VEX GO. The document includes a weekly schedule, a sample choice board, and a day-by-day breakdown of activities and lessons. I’ve included the document as an editable Google Doc (link above) and a pdf (attached). If you want to edit the Google Doc, you’ll need to make a copy!
