Study Notes
Adaptability of Schemes of Work
- Schemes of work must be adapted to fit different groups of pupils every year.
- Knowledge is not static, and new ideas and discoveries emerge, requiring updates to schemes of work.
Factors to Consider When Preparing a Scheme of Work
- Pupil's previous experience: consider what they already know to determine what they can effectively learn.
- Class ability: consider the range of abilities within a class, including differences in pupil performance and progress.
- Course syllabus: consider the content and requirements of the course when preparing a scheme of work.
- Textbook: consider the resources and materials available.
- Time: consider the time available to teach and learn the material.
- Learning objectives: consider the learning goals and outcomes.
Considering Pupil's Previous Experience
- Identify what pupils already know to build upon their existing knowledge.
- Avoid re-teaching material they have already learned.
- Ensure the scheme of work takes into account what pupils have not learned.
Considering Class Ability
- Recognize differences in pupil performance and progress within a class.
- Use records of pupil progress to inform teaching and learning.
- Be aware of the range of abilities within the class when planning a scheme of work.
