Course planning and design
These resources are intended to be used as part of one or more structured Continuing professional development (CPD) sessions. Subject Learning Coaches can also adapt them for their work with colleagues.
They engage tutors in thinking about how to plan and design courses to meet the needs of groups of learners who:
- have different interests and aspirations; and
- are learning in very different contexts.
They include:
- suggestions for how you might use them;
- slides and resource sheets.
There are supplementary slides specifically for use with Sport and fitness tutors, and additional guidance on working with children in family learning groups.
Sample schemes of work for Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) and for Sport and fitness provide some ideas about how to plan for different groups of learners.
For further guidance, go to the theme Improving Teaching and Learning, and especially the section on Relevance.
