Time Organisation

 

Curriculum converted to time schedules

After the learning program has been developed, processes for time organisation are applied.

Schedule Proformas’ can be used to divide curriculum sub-sections into time segments.

 

Time Organisation:  Schedule formats

Various time schedules formats are provided:

  1. Terms throughout the Year
  2. Weeks throughout the term
  3. Days in the week / Weekly time-table
  4. Periods in a day

 

Process for organising time

Begin with the large time frames eg Terms throughout the Year, then subsections can be broken down into smaller and smaller time-frames.

 

Terms throughout the Year

Primary planners may use the ‘Unit / term / Year Matrix.

·     Open the provided matrix.

·     Delete units not required.  Type in chosen units.

·     Copy and paste the document into ‘My Planning Documents’ (Red Folder)

·     Export the document to the Central Document Set.

 

Secondary teachers may use the Term formats to select topics that distribute the learning area program across four terms – to ensure full coverage throughout the year.

 

Weeks within the term

·     Examine the Scope and Sequence chart.

·     Select and divide subsections from the chart into four broad time-frames. Ie termal breakdown

·     Copy and paste a term’s work into the left column of the Week / term planner.

·     Copy and paste the outcomes into the boxes at the top of the schedule

·     Subdivide the sections into weekly units.

·     Add the resources / page numbers.. to be used each week.

 

Weekly timetable 

The weekly time-table can be used to summarise the learning program for the week.

Copy and paste from the Week / term planner

Hyperlink key words back to the Curriculum Organiser

 

Daily planner

·     Select the Day planner.

·     Re-arrange headings to suit your personal planning style eg one column can be for What to teach and the second column for How to teach, With what.

·     Hyperlinking can be used to connect brief titles to the full planning document.

 

My Planning Documents folder

As planning documents are prepared they can be copied and pasted into the ‘My Planning Documents’ so that all current plans are in one location.
