Effective medium-term planning is the ‘holy grail’ of planning. Once teachers are able to conceptualise learning over a longer period of time, they are empowered to achieve outstanding learning as part of their everyday teaching. This book explains why medium term plans are important and how to go about constructing them.

Key coverage includes:

  • Practical guidance to support teachers to build their own effective medium-term plans
  • Examples of planning in action, exploring key principles that can be applied to your own practice
  • Theoretical and practical justifications for the importance of medium-term planning
  • Exploration of the links between raising attainment and effective medium-term planning

This is essential reading for initial teacher education students on university-based and school-based courses preparing to teach in primary and secondary education, and early career teachers seeking to continue their professional learning.

Industry Reviews

This is a book that deals with the important issues that teachers need to confront when planning for their students’ learning over time. Not only does it offer suggestions for effective medium term planning (which are carefully exemplified through authentic cases) but also deals with some fundamental questions about the nature of teaching, learning and assessment and the need to approach each of these in a principled way. This will clearly be a very useful book for beginning teachers but it also has much to offer to those with more experience who are keen to look again at the nature of their planning and the possibilities that effective medium-term planning can offer. The book concludes with a timely ‘call to action’ which, if properly addressed, could lead to teachers discovering (or re-discovering) the huge benefits for teaching and learning, as well as for developing an enhanced sense of teacher professionalism, that these approaches make possible.

 The book is written in a very engaging style that makes it accessible to the reader yet nevertheless draws effectively on a range of scholarship, as well as on the findings of the authors’ own research.
