A scheme of work is a plan that defines work to be done in the classroom. Involving learners in defining a scheme of work, whether for a short project or a long course, is an important step towards motivation and involvement.

Example
Before starting a project, a group works on defining a scheme of work for it.

In the classroom
Questions to ask learners for a scheme of work include:
What are your aims?
What do you want to produce?
Who is going to do what?
What resources do you need?
How long is it going to take?
