1. The document discusses the link between syllabus, schemes of work, and lesson plans in teaching. 2. A syllabus outlines topics to be taught and learned for a period, while schemes of work break the syllabus into termly portions. Lesson plans further break down schemes of work into specific daily lessons. 3. Syllabi inform schemes of work, which then inform lesson plans. Together, they provide structure and guidance for effective teaching at different levels of detail.

3. Discuss the link between syllabus, schemes of work and lesson plan.
Although a curriculum is sometimes used as a synonym to syllabus or any other related
educational concepts, it is generally a broader concept. It is an overall outline of the subjects to
be taught, and the teaching methods for ensuring that each student has learnt the appropriate
materials. A syllabus is derived from the curriculum. It is about that list of topics to be taught and
learned for a specific period or programme, while scheme of work is drawn from the syllabus
and broken into pieces to be taken on a termly basis. The lesson plan is a further breaking down
of work to be done. Thus the curriculum and the national syllabus can be seen as broad and
general statements of what is to be learned during the course study period; the scheme of work is
derived from the syllabi and therefore more specific and detailed; while lesson plans are derived
from schemes of work and are also more detailed and specific than the schemes of work.
Curricula, syllabi, schemes of work and lesson plans are policies and documents necessary for
effective teaching to occur at any level of our educational system.
i. Syllabus
A syllabus contains the list of topics, aims and assessment objectives of the subject at a
particular level of education, the sequence of the content knowledge to be taught and the
assessment procedure to be adopted.
ii. Schemes of Work
The scheme of work then describes the content and learning experiences that should be
treated every term of the academic year. It is made when the teacher splits the year’s work
from the syllabus into portions to be studied per term, month or week. Schemes of work

guides in planning the unit of instruction and consequently the daily lesson in line with the
time available for each topic.
iii. Lesson Plan
The lesson plan is the lowest most specific level of instructional plan. It is derived from the
analysis of the schemes of work. When a scheme of work is broken into smaller topics and
subtopics we have the lesson topics which can be used to plan a lesson. Lesson plans help
teachers follow correct steps and procedures in teaching, meaning full objectives are covered
in the lesson, and activities to the content and objective carried out.
