Reference materials
Examination
The type of examination the students
are being prepared for should bear in
mind that some levels require more
revision time than others and
therefore, scheme for revision
appropriately.
Time estimation
Although there are about 40 weeks in a year, it is not
usually possible to use all these for effective teaching
for a variety of reasons.
The number of effective teaching periods varies
according to both predictable and unpredictable
interruptions.
Effective teaching time must therefore 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.

Teaching strategies (i.e. how you will deliver

Student activities (i.e. how you will involve
the students in actively learning?)

General Components of a

The scheme of work normally includes:
Evaluation (i.e. the kind of data you decide
upon and how you intend to gather this, to
check that learning opportunities have been
successful.)
Resource requirements (i.e. text books, on-line
resources, teaching materials and ICT )
Learning support requirements (i.e. how you
plan to meet any diverse learning needs.

ORGANISATION/INSTITUTION:
Refers to the organisation/institution one is working or
teaching in.
STUDENTS LEVEL:
Refers to the grade level of learning of the students. In
most cases, a school will only have ONE scheme of work
that fit all level of students of the same grade. This is not
encouraged.

This refers to the subject being schemed to a particular
term within a given year.

DATE OF PREPARATION
Refers to the time the scheme of work is completed.
This should be before teaching commences.
SYLLABUS TOPIC
The topics in the syllabus needs to be rearranged in
the order in which they are supposed to be taught.
This is because some topics are build up e.g. before
one learns past form he should have learnt the
present form.

WEEK
Most schools are specific in time allocation and each
week should be spelt out in the week column. The
numeral representing the week should be distinctly
written centrally in the week column.
Weeks should be separated by a line running across
the page especially when the same scheme of work
form contains more than one week.

KEY POINTS/METHODS
These are the central ideas which the teacher
anticipated to use during the lesson. They are an
elaboration of the lesson title. They form the

Key points should be stated in a specific, precise
manner, preferably in form of phrases which
conveys the full meaning intended.

NOTES
Most student teachers forget to include teaching aids in
the scheme of work.
REMARKS (DATE WHEN TAUGHT)
Remarks in the scheme of work should be made
immediately the lesson is over. The teacher is supposed
to indicate whether what was planned for the period
has been covered, whether there was over planning or
failure of lesson and reasons for either case, e.t.c.
remarks suggested are meant to help the teacher in his
consequent and future planning.
