Usage in itslearning

In abstract a (course) plan is the chronological sequence through which the teacher will go through the content of a course. The plan commonly has a buildup in difficulty; students first need to master the basics before they can understand the advanced parts. In addition the plan often describes the dates (and times) when specific content will be discussed. Each step in the sequence is provided with additional information. For example the outline, goals, resources, activities, etc.

Working with the planner can have several benefits, depending on country, segment, the vision of the school, etc:

Working with the planner will help the teacher to:

validate/clarify that enough time is spent on each part of the country's curriculum (/program of study/attainment targets).
design individual lessons in a structured way (which is mainly meaningful for the beginning teacher), while keeping a high level overview.
reach short term and long term goals within the available time and on the right milestones, such as in exam weeks.
make it clear to the students what they will be working on and why, increasing engagement.
organize resources, making it easier for students to quickly find relevant information, such as the presentation used during class.

Working with the planner help the student to:
- see what lies ahead and - commonly based on the teacher's suggestion - plan homework and study for tests.
- access information about past lessons, for instance when studying for a test or when the student has been sick.
Working with the planner will help school management to:
- ensure quality of education, by having an instrument that helps teachers to create a plan in a structured way.
- reduce dependency on the teacher. If a teacher gets sick, the plan will tell the substitute what should happen.
- become more transparent to parents.
Working with the planner will help parents to:
- get an up-to-date overview of what their children are expected to do for all courses.
