What is the plan that defines the work to be done in the classroom?

• A. Scheme of work
• B. Syllabus
• C. Curriculum
• D. Lesson plan

Answer: (A)

In education planning, the document that outlines what will be covered, in what order, and over what timeframe is the scheme of work. It translates the curriculum into a practical sequence for classroom delivery, listing topics or units, approximate time for each, recommended resources, and assessment points across weeks or terms. This makes it the plan that defines the work to be done in the classroom, guiding teachers from term to term. A syllabus focuses on the subject’s content and assessment requirements rather than the week-by-week plan. The curriculum provides the broad aims and structure of education across subjects or programs. The lesson plan is a detailed plan for a single class session, not the overall sequence. So the best fit is the scheme of work.
