*Please don’t reinvent the wheel. If your pacing guide is working, don’t change it. If you need minor adjustments, just fix what
needs to be revised. If your pacing guide is completely out of line…work with your grade level or department colleagues to revise.
(Each 9-weeks will have 45 days. Make sure you build in remediation and testing time.)
