Track syllabus coverage without more paperwork

A short, regular check of what has been taught against what was planned helps leaders support teachers before assessments, not after.

Discuter d'un déploiement scolaire

Syllabus coverage tells a school how much of the planned curriculum has been taught. It is one of the clearest signals a head teacher or deputy has about whether learners are ready for assessments. It is useful only if it is checked regularly, compared with the plan and followed by a conversation about support.

What to compare

The scheme of work: what each class was meant to cover by this week.
The record of work covered: what was actually taught.
Assessment dates: how many weeks remain before each assessment.
Gaps by class and learning area, so patterns are visible.

A monthly routine

Agree the day each month when records are reviewed.
Check that records are up to date before drawing conclusions.
List the classes and learning areas that are behind and ask what is in the way.
Agree one support action for each, with a name and a date.
Return to the list at the next review.

Questions for the conversation

What slowed this strand down: time, resources, learner readiness or absence?
Do learners need revision before this topic is assessed?
Does the plan for the remaining weeks need to change?
What help would make the next three weeks easier?

Read a gap as a question, not a verdict

A class that is behind may have had interruptions, long absence or a difficult strand. Ask first, and use the answer to decide whether to adjust the plan, add revision time or provide support.
