Scheme of work
The document discusses the importance of creating a scheme of work for organizing and planning a course. A scheme of work allows teachers to plan content delivery, assess learner needs, coordinate activities, and share resources. It also helps new teachers and ensures learners acquire necessary skills. When creating a scheme of work, teachers must consider the syllabus, available time, learning styles, assessment methods, and how to balance, grade, sequence and recycle content for optimal student understanding. Working together on schemes of work helps synchronize teaching and standardizes resources across teachers.
