Follow a head of history as she plans for a new Year 7 class. Planning is a critically important and complex part of teaching and learning. This close-up look at a school's three-tiered approach to short, medium and long term planning demonstrates how these plans materialise in the classroom. Sweyne Park's Head of History, Catherine McCrory, invites us to observe her new Year 7 history class and watch as her plan unfolds through the lesson. She talks through anticipated problems and how she has planned for a class whose skill levels and previous subject content knowledge is unknown to her. Sweyne Park has been commended for their planning and Deputy Head Andy Samways explains their analytical and reflective 'iceberg' model and how this fits into the medium-term planning. In a school which sees planning as an opportunity for professional development, we also see Catherine working with newer History teachers to develop their planning techniques.

It´s very good to see the approach of English colleagues teaching. It seems to be more student-centred than the normal German approach and with that I mean more aimed at teaching valuable skills over a longer period of time. We´ve just started to "testphase" new syllabi for English; French, German and maths which are based on a basic skills compendium for all the years a student spends at a grammar school. Hopefully in that process we won´t forget to look at teachers elsewhere to share ideas with and learn from.
