Good planning makes good learning.
Copies of templates for Scheme of Work, Group Profile, Sesion plans with exemplars (and short videos) can be found on sharepoint here
Compared to all other elements of good or outstanding learning eg. session plans, ILT, E&D, checking of learning, raport etc - teachers who had a good Group Profile or good Scheme of Work were 20% more likely to have their session graded a 2 or a 1. Good planning makes good learning.
