One of the most challenging aspects of being a teacher is planning out the year ahead. What will your program look like? What do you want the students to achieve? How are you going to get the most out of the time you have? How are you going to prepare them for the future? These questions can be particularly difficult to answer if you are a beginning teacher or a teacher return to a particular year group or class after an extended leave. 

As a result I would like to share some of my scope and sequences, assessments and over due course programs. These are not top secret. In fact, I am unsure why so many teachers are protective of theirs. So to begin, I would like to share with you my Preliminary Drama scope and sequence and assessment tasks (abridged) for the year.

Three points to note:
1. They are not perfect and will never be completely perfect. I don't pretend they are.
2. They are ever changing. I get bored and need to change things often. I also change tasks and programs to meet the particular needs of my students. 
3. They are written to my strengths as well as the strengths (and weaknesses) of my students. Eg. My program looks different now that I am in an all girls school to when I was in a co-ed school. 

Please also note that if you are reading this on a phone the documents will not fully load. You must use a computer to see the documents.
