Long-range plans are important in identifying the knowledge and skills that students are expected to acquire at their current grade level and what they should have acquired from the previous grade. At this stage in planning one is identify the strands and big ideas that will be covered and in what order throughout the year. Planning with a teaching partner is important in sharing ideas and identifying goals for the year. This is also a good point to touch base with other teachers in the division who may be able to provide an overview of students prior learning and experiences. Referencing classroom primary resources such as textbooks and/or teachers manuals will help to create the flow and organization of the year. You may also take this time to line certain subjects up at the same time to align opportunities for cross-curricular lessons.
