We are delighted to bring you schemes of work ready for use.
The schemes of work are in line with our mission which is to make your work easy so you can focus on the business of teaching. While preparing these schemes, careful consideration was given to the need to make your classes innovative, lively and inspiring. The schemes cover the entire secondary cycle, from form 1 to 4. You will need to scroll down the CD to get to your specific subject area. The subject areas are arranged alphabetically.
We do hope you will find the suggested activities and resources motivating and in line with the curriculum requirements. The schemes are a guide and you should adapt them to suit your particular circumstances.
The schemes of work are based on the following tried and tested Longman Kenya textbooks and supplementary books:
