As a teacher, I always believed that a scheme of work should never be used a script. Instead, a good scheme should empower teachers in their subject knowledge, CPD and planning.

I created Scheme Support when I was a full-time teacher back in 2017. I was passionate about the way educational publishing can help in classrooms, but at the same time frustrated that many schools weren't using schemes properly or leaving teachers to plan everything themselves, often without any specialist subject knowledge.

I've since learnt so much about education publishing and what makes a great scheme. With this knowledge I built Scheme Support. It's an easy way for schools to see what schemes of work there are available for all the primary subjects.

Running Scheme Support is something I do whilst teaching part-time. I'm able to do this by working with Zen Educate - a platform that connects teachers with hundreds of teaching roles in their local area via the Zen app. I can set which days I'd like to take teaching work on my calendar, how far I'd like to travel to a school and the age-groups I want to teach. Whether your a teacher looking for work or a school looking for a better supply solution, you can use my personal link here to sign up. 

I hope Scheme Support helps you as a teacher find the right curriculum resource for a school. And if you're an educational publisher, you can find out how we can help you here.
