In this workshop, we will explore what exactly we should consider when planning a series of lessons. Whether you call them schemes of work, units, or medium-term terms there can be no denying that with workload issues the importance of coherent planning at this level can support all teachers in the department. What then do we need to think about when planning more than one lesson and who makes the choice of what to include and exclude based on what criteria? All of this and more will be discussed with lots of chances to participate and share ideas.
