Now that I have become an Old Teacher, I’m spending more time helping Young Teachers figure out how to…учитель.

The content area isn’t what stresses them. It’s the classroom management and the day to day minutiae that gets them binging on chocolate and crying at their desks at 6:00pm. At least in my building, nobody has much to say about our syllabi until about an hour before the parents arrive at Back to School Night. Затем, it’s a mad scramble to throw together a comprehensive course overview. The young ones freak right out.

более того–at least for me–I never took any college courses that taught me how to write a high school ELA syllabus. In retrospect, this is a bit of a gap in the educational process.

Так. If you are a young teacher (or an old teacher trying to help young teachers) in need of an example syllabus, check this out. It’s an anonymized version of my own ELA 4 (grade 12/senior English) syllabus. It’ll give you a framework for creating your own syllabus and will hopefully alleviate some stress!
