Notes:
• The plan can be formatted to view a week at a time and not every lesson – this is important to support manageability
• Most of the plan is self-explanatory. It seeks to include most of the desirable elements. It is possible to expand the
format to A3 but this risks the planning process taking too long for the time frame – also sometimes the detail required
will be brief
• Class organisation is crucial to the plan working properly including differentiation and the role of additional adults.
Plans can be shared to make expectations clear
SUCCESS CRITERIA:
• These are an essential part of planning and should be clear and manageable
• These may be part of active assessment activities where students determine the criteria. In planning, teachers need to
write a broad outline of anticipated suggestions
