Planning for effective teaching and learning

Planning is important to ensure:

  • consistency across different groups of learners and different teachers
  • availability of resources before starting to deliver lessons
  • development of appropriate knowledge, understanding and skills according to your learners’ needs
  • a variety of teaching approaches to meet your learners’ needs
  • opportunities for monitoring, evaluation and feedback
  • a positive and inclusive learning environment.

Vinschool Curriculum Mapping software helps you to access the information related to the Stage(s) you are teaching in an efficient way, including:

  • the knowledge, understanding and skills your learners need to develop in each term/semester
  • the order, progression and continuity of knowledge, understanding and skills
  • effective lessons led by learning objectives

For further guidance on effective planning for Primary ESL Learners, please see the 0057 Primary English as a Second Language Teacher Guide 2020 p10 - 17.

While we encourage learner-needs responsive planning and have designed our Primary ESL Standard curriculum to accommodate this, it is recommended that you adhere to syllabus pacing guides.

Please speak to your Head of Department if you need support meeting pacing expectations outlined in the syllabus for the Stage(s) you are teaching. Please see this link to access lesson planning and class profile templates: LESSON PLAN AND CLASS PROFILE TEMPLATES
