Sequence
I = INTRODUCTION, indicates the suggested level
ofintroduction of the concept or skill.
R = REINFORCEMENT, indicates that students have
beenintroduced to the concept or skill and need additional instruction to
masterthe skill or continued reinforcement to maintain mastery.
M = MASTERY, indicates that the average
studentshould have grasped the concept or skill by this level.
Note: all objective statements
(pastthe exploratory stage in the Scope and Sequence) have been written
