SMP Interact (Framework edition): free downloadable
key stage 3 medium-term planner

The Excel-based medium-term planner will save your department hours when writing a scheme of work, a medium-term plan or any other planning document that sets out learning objectives. It's a comprehensive course description that goes through each book sequentially by unit and section, setting out learning objectives in detail and giving numerical references to pertinent Framework objectives.

How is it meant to be used?

Using only basic Excel skills, you can make a scheme of work or medium-term plan by rearranging the course description to suit your department's needs, incorporating your own activities and resources, and relating everything to your department's own time line.

What else is it good for?

You can print it out so a full description of the course materials is always available for reference; this is particularly useful when the department – or individual members of it – are new to SMP Interact. If you want to locate a particular topic (for example to find a simple introduction to it or extension work in books other than those you normally use) you can use Excel's 'Find' facility to look for a word or short phrase.
