Planned curriculum is that type of curriculum which refers to the planned programs of objectives

contents, instructions and assessments offered by a schools. it is related to Formal curriculum.

Most curriculum planning comes in five phases: framing the context, planning the lessons, implementing
those lessons, monitoring progress, and evaluating learning. Teachers and school boards usually start
with context in order to keep the overarching goals at the heart of the planning process. In a nuanced
class like astronomy, the context is all but self-evident. For broader classes like second grade or
seventh grade math, however, school benchmarks and end goals must be kept in mind in order to
keep a curriculum plan on track.

Individual lesson planning and implementation is where instructors have the most flexibility. Schools
often set required reading lists or text books, but teachers can almost always organize their lessons and
their classroom activities as they see fit. Teachers are usually in the best position to gauge individual
student needs, and are generally encouraged to adapt lessons as needed to aid in understanding. Some
flexibility is also important when it comes to current events and breaking news: should something
happen in the world that directly relates to a lesson or otherwise impacts student life, teachers will
often try to weave it into the days instruction.

Planned curriculum refers to documents that shape the content to be covered when teaching. These
documents arise out of policy environments and reflect what is deemed required or necessary for
students to learn at specific levels of education or educational settings. Typically, planned curriculum
documents are created by governments, publishers of subject matter series, publishers of assessments,
or boards of education. Planned curriculum can be categorized in two ways: curriculum that is
prescribed or curriculum that is subscribed. Prescribed planned curriculum expects teachers to follow a
defined set of objectives or outcomes, whereas a subscribed planned curriculum provides outcomes or
objectives but allows for some teacher selection. Typically, planned curriculum is mandated at some
level for teachers to use in their teaching
