MCPS English I (Ninth Grade) Pacing Guide
MCPS Vision for Learning
Using high-quality instructional materials, teachers will prepare learning experiences that include standards-aligned
questions and tasks to create rigorous learning opportunities. Students build knowledge that is transferable to
experiences outside the classroom through ownership of their reading, writing, thinking, problem solving and
collaboration, with support as needed, to ensure access for all. Leadership will support these expectations through a
reflective culture of improvement and accountability. In pursuing student mastery of new and prior content, sound
assessment practices and the scaffolding of remediation are utilized to address standards gaps.
Maury County Public Schools provides a Scope & Sequence to guide English Language Arts teachers in organizing
their teaching and assessment of students on the Tennessee ELA Academic Standards.
This Scope & Sequence is developed in alignment with myPerspectives™, a standards-aligned program that includes
a flexible instructional model; thematic units; multi-genre texts; integrated reading, writing, speaking and listening,
and language skills instruction; and collaborative activities.
Each unit of the Scope & Sequence will feature:
Unit Topics and Essential Questions The essential questions frame all unit activities and discussions.
Focus Standard These ELA standards are assessed on each Savvas unit test. Consider these
standards when planning common formative assessments with your PLC team.
CFA Standards These standards are generated from the TNReady Blueprints.
Performance Tasks and Assessment Refer to the MCPS Pacing Guide below.

MCPS 9 Grade ELA Pacing Guide 2022-2023Pacing Calendar
Block Schedule Year-long Schedule
Unit 1 August 1-August 23 August 1-September 13
Unit 2 August 24-September 13 September 14-October 28
Unit 3 September 14-September 30 October 31-December 16
Unit 4 October 10-October 26 January 4-February 13
Unit 5 October 27-November 16 February 14-March 24
Unit 6 November 17-December 16 March 27-May 22
Following the suggested pacing calendar above will preserve time over the course of the year to ensure that students
build the full body of knowledge provided by each unit. This pacing should be used in conjunction with the Unit
Preparation Guide (UPG), particularly Step 3. Each year, teachers need to reflect on the standards students need to
master (based on student data and TN Blueprints) and prepare the units to reflect these needs. Step 3 of the UPG
allows teachers to determine the texts and lessons that are considered “must dos” and “may dos.” It is understood
that all lessons in a unit may not be completed in the time allocated. Therefore, teachers should judiciously select
lessons based on data and grade-level expectations to prepare students for end of unit tasks and standards mastery.

There are no CFAs listed because the selection tests prepare students for the unit test by building on knowledge and
reassessing key standards that the unit test will ultimately assess. If students test online through SAVVAS it will track data on
each standard tested across all the selection tests and unit tests. I believe that each selection test would be considered a CFA
leading to the summative assessment (unit test).
