Planning

Below is one example of an outline of objectives, learning outcomes, content and exemplar expectations. The expectation is that all objectives are met once a department has completed a comprehensive long term plan. The examples are based primarily on Objective A knowledge and understanding. Objective B; Skills and attitudes permeate implicitly in the examples but where the objectives are explicit they are indicated in italics. ( Many more examples of these planning grids can be accessed via the support material on the Solihull web site)
