A well-designed teaching program is a roadmap that guides meaningful learning experiences while ensuring curriculum coverage.
Start with the End in Mind
Before mapping out lessons, get clear on what students should know by the end of your program. This backward design approach ensures everything connects to meaningful learning goals.
Mapping Your Scope and Sequence
Consider logical progression, available time, assessment alignment, and cross-curricular connections.
Balancing Structure with Flexibility
Build in buffer lessons. Plan for consolidation time. Identify which elements are essential and which could be compressed.
Sharing and Iterating
Good programs improve over time. Capture notes as you teach. Share programs within your department.
TeachPlan supports program-level planning that flows through to individual lessons with integrated coverage tracking.
