Frequently Asked Questions
To serve teachers searching for common topics, we’ve addressed frequent questions related to schemes of work:
What is a scheme of work?
A scheme of work is a term-based plan that breaks down syllabus content into weekly lesson objectives, instructional strategies, and assessment tasks. It’s a roadmap guiding daily teaching across the term.
What is the importance of a scheme of work?
Schemes of work:
Ensure structured delivery of content
Guide lesson planning and resource allocation
Provide accountability and consistency
Support formative assessment in line with the formerly called CBC and now CBE goals
How do I prepare a scheme of work?
> Refer to the KICD curriculum designs
> Break the term into weeks
> Identify key competencies and learning outcomes
> List suitable teaching activities and materials.
> Plan assessment methods.
Alternatively, you can download our ready-made, editable versions and adapt them to your needs.
Are CBC schemes of work still valid under CBE?
Yes. The foundational structure remains relevant. CBE refines assessment and instructional approaches but still aligns closely with CBC frameworks. Our downloads reflect both terminologies for relevance and clarity.
