How to use the Companion Tools for Thompson's Scope and Sequence
Q. What are the number one questions parents ask when touring your school?
A. "What curriculum do you use? Is your school focused on academics?"
Parents sometimes need help understanding a play-based curriculum. Thompson's Scope and Sequence is designed with parents in mind by using language parents identify with as academic (Language arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies). Teachers, however, can take the skills embedded in the Scope& Sequence and design activities throughout their learning centers.
Therefore,the Scope & Sequence is designed as a brochure to use as a marketing tool for your school. Parents can see first hand what the teachers are focused on for their children. This provides parents with information to support, not only their children, but also the teachers, with open communication based on knowledge of early childhood milestones and expectations.
By purchasing the entire series, you can market your school's curriculum in a manner that distinguishes your school from others.
On the Thompson's Scope and Sequence page, you can also select the series by age groups, if your school does not provide care for infants and toddlers.

Q. What is the number one question teachers ask when they are told they need to assess young children?
A. "What tool do we use and is it research based?"
Not only are Thompson's Assessment Tools researched based, they compliment the Scope & Sequence. Parents also appreciate the detail and attention to how teachers observe and identify their child's progress. These assessment tools increase the effectiveness for teaching and parent / teacher conferences. The tools will help teachers individualize planning and support parents when developing goals for their children.
