2. What is a scheme of work?
A scheme of work is a plan that defines work to be done in the classroom. This plan covers a full term.

3. What is a scheme of work?
A teacher’s scheme of work is therefore his plan of action which should enable him/her to organise teaching activities ahead of time.
It is a summarised forecast of work which the teacher considers adequate and appropriate for the class to cover within a given period from those topics which are already set in the syllabus

4. A well prepared scheme of work should among other things:
Give an overview of the total course content.
Show a relationship between content and support materials.
Provide a basis for: long range planning, training and evaluation of the course.

5. SOME IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS TO BE BORN IN MIND WHEN PREPARING A SCHEME OF WORK
1. Understanding the syllabus.
one is expected to interpret the curriculum and implement it correctly.
2. Preceding and succeeding syllabus content
The teacher should identify the essential learning content and arrange the content in logical teaching order considering the proceeding and succeeding syllabus content
3.Reference material and examination
The teacher should be familiar with reference material that is available for effective coverage of the topics in the scheme of work.

6. SOME IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS TO BE BORN IN MIND WHEN PREPARING A SCHEME OF WORK
4. Time estimation
Effective teaching time be estimated before topics are selected. The most common interruptions that are likely to disrupt a scheme of work include:Public Holidays Examinations (should be schemed for) if they are internal Revisions (should be schemed for) Open days Sports days Planned school breaks e.g. mid-term break e.t.c.

7. College Policy
Students are expected to scheme and plan according to college formats and policy guidelines.
The scheme of work should be fully designed by the first day of each term.

8. What is included in scheme
Particulars of children in the class:
The number, age, ability and stream
The duration and number of lessons per week
An outline of subject matter and content

9. What is included in scheme
Some indications of organisational factors like
How pupils are going to learn
What kind of work units are planned: class ,group or individual
Methods of teaching and learning to be employed
Sources of information- national syllabus
Evaluation
Equipment used

13. Evaluation Should be teacher centred
Focus on work coverage and adequacy of weekly content
Relevance of methods and activities
Appropriateness and relevance of teaching learning aids and sources of materials used.
Evaluation of each aim stated

14. Detailed Lesson Plan
A lesson plan is a teacher's detailed description of the course of instruction, or 'learning trajectory' for a lesson. A daily lesson plan is developed by a teacher to guide class learning.

15. Detailed Lesson Plan
Details will vary depending on the preference of the teacher, subject being covered, and the needs of the students. There may be requirements mandated by the school system regarding the plan.A lesson plan is the teacher's guide for running a particular lesson, and it includes the goal (what the students are supposed to learn), how the goal will be reached (the method, procedure) and a way of measuring how well the goal was reached (test, worksheet, homeworketc

16. All lessons are planned as Detailed Lesson Plans [DLP]
All the DLPs for a particular day should be ready by the beginning of the first lesson of the day

17. Lesson Plans and Schemes of Work
What's the difference? Simply one of scale: the Scheme sets out what you are planning for the whole twelve or thirty weeks of the course on a session-by-session basis, while the session plan is finer-grained and looks at what you are going to do within each lecture or seminar or workshop. (Some people even put in timings, minute-by- minute, in the session plan. Inspectors might like that, but I find it too constraining because it cannot allow for contingencies and opportunities.)
