Curriculum planning

Curriculum planning

This curriculum planning template will help teachers to plan the educational process for a certain period of time or for the whole school year. Write down the title of the lessons, the duration, objectives, materials, structure of assignments, test subjects, and vocabulary.

Besides the fact that you will need a lesson plan, you should also prepare assignments in advance.

Tip: You can use the mind map assignments offered by Mindomo to help your students understand better some subjects. They are already created. You just have to invite your students to complete them. They can work in groups and you can see what information completed each member of the group.

Project-based learning helps students to retain information for a longer period of time and learn from practice.

Curriculum mapping helps you organize your teaching activities easier and your teaching becomes more effective for students because you will prepare your material better with teaching plan templates.
