Teachers can now access and download schemes of work for different grades, subjects and learning areas in one place. A well-prepared scheme of work helps teachers organise learning activities, plan lessons and ensure that the required learning outcomes are covered within the school term.
Whether you are looking for CBC schemes of work, CBE schemes of work, primary school schemes of work or secondary school schemes of work, having an updated scheme makes lesson preparation easier.
Download Schemes of Work
Teachers can find schemes of work for different grades and subjects and download them for use in lesson planning.
The available schemes cover common learning areas taught in Kenyan schools and are designed to help teachers plan their work systematically throughout the term.
Before downloading a scheme of work, check the grade, subject and term to ensure that you select the correct resource.
What Is a Scheme of Work?
A scheme of work is a structured plan that shows how a teacher intends to cover the content of a subject or learning area over a given period.
It normally organises the learning content into manageable sections and helps the teacher determine what should be taught, when it should be taught and the learning activities that can be used.
Under the Competency-Based Education (CBE) approach, schemes of work can also help teachers organise learning around learning outcomes, competencies, values, pertinent and contemporary issues (PCIs) and appropriate learning activities.
Why Teachers Need Schemes of Work
A good scheme of work makes teaching and preparation more organised. It can help teachers to:
- Plan lessons for the term in advance.
- Organise learning content according to the required sequence.
- Allocate sufficient time to different topics.
- Identify suitable learning activities and resources.
- Keep track of content already covered.
- Prepare lesson plans more efficiently.
- Ensure that important learning outcomes are not missed.
Schemes of work are therefore an important planning resource for both new and experienced teachers.
CBC and CBE Schemes of Work
Teachers searching for CBC schemes of work may also come across resources described as CBE schemes of work. The terminology reflects Kenya's transition towards competency-based education and the continued use of competency-based approaches in schools.
When choosing a scheme, teachers should always confirm that its content matches the current curriculum designs and requirements for the particular grade and learning area.
