Course Plan Table
INSTRUCTIONS
Purpose of this Tool
The purpose of the Course Plan Table is to help you organize your course so that you can include your Learning Activities and your Assessments in a weekly
schedule planner. It should help you to decide which order you should use to present the content and learning objectives to your students, and when to include
your assessments.
Steps to Complete the Table
1. Write the Statement of the Competency for your course given by the MELS.
2. Look over your Competency Elements and Performance Criteria from your Course Objectives Table. Decide which Competency Elements or Performance
Criteria students will need to master before they will be able to do other more advanced competencies. Then use one of the following approaches to
scaffold how you present your Instructional Strategies and Learning Activities:
a. Performance Criteria approach
i. Write the Competency Elements and Performance Criteria into the table in the order in which you think students will need to approach
the material. Make sure to include easier elements first and work up to more complex elements.
ii. Using your Learning Activities Table, include the course content you associated with those Competency Elements or Performance
Criteria to the class topics for the week/weeks.
iii. Referring again to your Learning Activities Table, include the Instructional Strategies and Learning Activities you associated with that
content and objectives.
b. Content Approach
i. Write the content for the course into the table in the order in which you think students will need to approach the material. Consider the
Competency Elements and Performance Criteria you associated with this content in your Learning Activities Table Make sure to include
easier elements first and work up to more complex elements.
ii. Using your Learning Activities Table, include the Competency Elements and Performance criteria you associated with that content for
the class topics for each week.
iii. Referring again to your Learning Activities Table, include the Instructional Strategies and Learning Activities you associated with that
content and objectives.
2. Once you have included your Competency Elements and Performance Criteria, refer to your Course Assessment Table and choose which assessments
you will assign to test the student’s performance based on the Competency Elements covered for that class or that week.
