I seem to be assisting a number of different folk with their schemes of work lately. SoW (now renamed [renewed?] Schemes of Learning – SoL?) sometimes seem a bit like those stories of people painting the Forth Bridge: only just done when they need doing all over again. Thus I have yet to meet the English department with them all at the same state of development.
Today I found myself embarking of just one such process of development with a very talented team of English teachers in Barnsley. We will work together in the new school year and this afternoon considered the often unspoken question, “Just what makes a good scheme of work anyway?” Their answers seemed far more elegant than mine but I offer the following extract from my PowerPoint presentation for this session by way of a starting point for discussion.
