Effective Long Range Plans

To create effective long range plans, teachers need to think about the following Q & A's:

Question: Where do I start with long range plans?

Answer: Always start with the Ministry Curriculum to determine the expectations for the grade(s) you will be teaching, as well as the previous year to see what they would have covered and the following year - to set goals!
Also talk to teaching partners, previous grade teachers, and post grade teachers to see what they have done, and/or hope to do!
Make sure to check other resources available to you at your school (texts), district, and online (EQAO).

Question: When do I teach certain strands?

Answer:
First determine the reporting requirements of your Board and which strands have to be reported on which report card.
Then, when creating your plans, make sure the students have the prior knowledge to attempt certain strands. For example, ensure students understand place value before trying to convert units in the Measurement strand.
Teachers can also check various math resources for planning calendars.

Question: How do I record long range plans?

Answer: A graphic organizer does the trick! The long range plans do not have to be as detailed as unit or lesson plans - they are more of an overview for the year.
