Chemistry (2007) Sample composite work program 2 May 2013 Chemistry (2007) Sample composite work program Compiled by the Queensland Studies Authority April 2013 A work program is the school’s plan of how the course will be delivered and assessed, based on the school’s interpretation of the syllabus. The school’s work program must meet syllabus requirements, and indicate that there will be sufficient scope and depth of student learning to reflect the general objectives and meet the exit criteria and standards. The minimum number of hours of timetabled school time, including assessment, for a course of study developed from the Chemistry (2007) syllabus is 55 hours per semester. A course of study will usually be completed over two years (220hours). This sample demonstrates one approach to a year 11/12 composite work program, and should be used as a guide only to help teachers plan and develop school work programs.
