2. Discuss the purposes and guiding principles of scheme of work.
An effective scheme of work underpins a comprehensive learning experience of the
learners, requires teachers to work together to plan a coherent program; helps
teachers plan common activities; helps teachers to create their individual session
plans; requires us to think about the essential underpinning skills that learners need
and plan to incorporate strategies to ensure these skills are learnt; requires us to
think about a variety of learning and teaching styles that are appropriate for our
learners.
