Haworth / Turner: Lesson plans

1.)
An epic picture of Bleeding Through. 'Sister Charlatan' is keeping my sanity atm.

2.)
No one yet has produced the perfect, all-purpose lesson plan that suits everyone. And thank goodness for that. Planning is something that has important idiosyncratic aspects to it, because we usually do it ourselves and the plans will, to a greater or lesser extent, express something of our professional individuality. However, there are some essential features, namely:

clear learning objectives

clear teaching objectives and strategies

a sequence of lesson activities (what the teacher will do, what the students will do)

use of variety: pace, activity, learning styles, teaching styles, resources

a rationale for the sequence that connects with understandings of the ways pupils learn

consideration of resources, materials and technolgy

planned assessment and monitoring opportunities

a chance for students to reflect on their learning

a record of homework set

reminders / 'memos' of teacher activities

considered and reflective lesson plan evaluation

hmmm.


It would seem that I have a long way to go.
