Effective Lesson Planning
Good lesson planning is essential and here are a few reasons why you and your students will benefit from thoughtful lesson planning.
- It provides a framework for instruction, and it guides implementation of standards-based education.
- Helps teacher organize content, materials, time, instructional strategies, and assistance in the classroom.
- It establishes a road map for instructors of what has been taught and what needs to be taught.
- It allows you to focus on one objective at a time and communicate to learners what they will learn in each lesson.
- All in all, will make you feel more confident with the delivery of the content.
Food For Thought: When you fail to plan...you plan to fail.
