lærepakke

A lærepakke is a package of teaching materials designed to support planning and delivery of a specific topic or teaching unit in Danish schools. It is part of a resource-based approach to instruction and is commonly used in primary and secondary education, as well as in vocational training. A lærepakke is typically created by education authorities, school networks, publishers, or teachers themselves and distributed for use in classrooms.

A typical lærepakke includes several components. There are learning objectives that align with the national curriculum, an overview of the unit, and detailed lesson plans with suggested activities and timing. Student-facing materials such as handouts, readings, and worksheets are provided, along with a teacher guide that offers instructions, answers, and differentiation strategies. Assessment tasks—both formative and summative—and criteria are included to support evaluation. Digital resources, such as slide decks, videos, and interactive tasks, may also be part of the package. In addition, many lærepakker contain guidance for reflection and evaluation to support ongoing improvement.

The purpose of a lærepakke is to facilitate coherent, standards-aligned instruction and to save planning time for teachers. It can promote consistency across classes and schools and support professional development by illustrating effective instructional practices. Potential challenges include a risk of over-standardization, a mismatch with local contexts, and the need for regular updates to reflect current curricula and pedagogy.

A lærepakke is a common element of Danish curriculum implementation and can be produced by public authorities, educational publishers, or school-based teams.
