Simple Scheme of Work and Lesson Plans

This resources is an adaption on the fantastic work already done by Ross Morrison McGill (@Teachertoolkit) in order to follow my schools lesson planning policy (sort of..)

The idea is that it makes both the planning of a scheme of work and lesson planning much simpler and less time consuming as well as still allowing teachers to be flexible and react to what is actually happening in the classroom.

Unlike Teachertoolkit’s 5 minute lesson plan this resource also has a section which allows for mapping to the key initiatives (a must in my school) which are outlined on this page.

I have found that by using this resource it has shortened my planning time considerably, however does not make resource making any easier or quicker!
