1. PLANNING: The Subject Framework, Work Schedule and the Lesson Plan

Below are examples of documents that constitute the three levels of planning. Schools that already have these documents are not compelled to change to these. They may use these documents to modify theirs if there are any major differences, or may simply continue with what they already have. It is important to note the relationship between a work schedule and a lesson plan. A lesson plan must be drawn from a work schedule.
