The LDOE has compiled teacher resources into one place.  Resources available include: standards, end of the year assessments, sample student learning targets,k scope and sequence resources, unit and lesson assessments and resources, etc.

After developing a clear understanding of what students will be expected to do at the end of the school year, teachers tailor student learning targets to their appropriate grade level, content area, and student academic starting points.

Once a teacher understands the standards, the next step is to use assessments to understand what it will look like when students master those standards.

After establishing a year-long scope and sequence, a teacher plans to assess and teach at the unit level. While the department will be providing some sample unit assessment and tools, teachers will regularly create math and ELA unit plans to meet the needs of their students

This link contains year-long scope and sequence for K-12 in ELA and Mathematics.
