Forward Planning. Some forward planning may be required to be undertaken on an individual basis, but it is possible that much of it will feature in school as a collegiate activity. In accounting for this time, work involved in constructing the school/departmental development plan and Standards and Quality reports will be included.
Forward Planning. Account should be taken of the number of plans required within the school session.
Forward Planning. Excessively detailed forward plans are not required as they then become key drivers of workload. As part of the initiative to reduce workload forward planning should be proportionate and should support professional dialogue. It should not simply fulfil an audit function or generate unnecessary workload. Planning should adhere to the current Aberdeen LNCT Local Agreement.

Forward Planning. Forward planning is an important part of the professional duties of a teacher. Agreement should be reached in the frequency and format of planning, within the Authority guidelines. Time must be set aside for this purpose, particularly in the primary sector where specific reference to highland LNCT 31 should be made. Work involved in constructing the school/department plan should also be included. CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROFESSIONAL REVIEW AND DEVELOPMENT Teachers (other than short term supply teachers) are contracted to carry out an additional 35 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) per annum. Most CPD will be undertaken in the additional 35 hours set aside annually for that purpose and on in-service days. It is, however, recognised that some aspects of CPD can only be carried out during school time. This applies, for example, to some in-service courses organised locally or nationally, but also to activities such as shadowing colleagues to inform the teacher’s practice as a reflective professional. Within the Working Time Agreement, sufficient time should be agreed over the academic year for the update of records and plans in the context of Professional Review and Development and Professional Update.
Forward Planning. Day-to-day preparation activities lie with the individual teacher but Forward Planning which may be on a termly/yearly basis is distinct from this, and sufficient time must be allocated for the format in use in the school. For further information please refer to the LNCT agreements on Planning in the Primary and Planning in the Secondary School.
Forward Planning. Time should be made available in primary schools for the production of the East Renfrewshire forward planning document. In recent years the authority has simplified the forward planning process and will continue to examine ways of streamlining the process. Schools are expected to make use of the authority’s forward planning guidelines and planning format.
Forward Planning. This remains an important element in the work of primary schools and the current arrangements should continue with a time allocation of 13 hours.
