With increasingly packed curricula and unpredictable disruptions, tracking syllabus coverage is more important—and more challenging—than ever.
Effective Coverage Tracking Strategies
- Start with programs, not lessons: Map programs to outcomes first.
- Use visual dashboards: Heat maps make gaps immediately visible.
- Track depth, not just coverage: Consider whether outcomes have been introduced, developed, and consolidated.
- Review regularly: Schedule coverage reviews at program midpoints.
Connecting Coverage to Assessment
Your assessments should align with your coverage tracking. If an outcome never shows up in formal assessment, students may not demonstrate their learning.
TeachPlan provides visual syllabus coverage dashboards that update automatically as you plan lessons.
