In our last class we learned that our Unit Plans must be four weeks long. We also began to discuss planning.
First of all, a plan is a "forecast" of the goals of the teacher.
Planning is done in stages. The first being pre-planning. In pre-planning, you need to think about the topic, audience, standards, etc.
Next is the planning stage. In this stage you actually sit and write out your plan, whether it be a unit or just a lesson.
The last stage is post-planning. In this stage you need to reflect on what went well in the unit/lesson, as well as what went wrong, and what you would do differently.
We also had to do a reading on lesson planning procedures prior to class.
Lesson plans help teachers to organize and deliver daily lessons.
Lesson plans are not set in stone though. As a teacher, you need to be flexible. Things come up throughout the course of the day and you will need to change the way you were going to deliver a lesson.
Maybe something like the fire alarm going off and losing time that way, or if the students just are not getting into the lesson and it is not working. As a teacher, you need to be able to think of how to handle these situations before they happen.
Make sure you have a plan B!
