Lesson planning is the essential component of every teacher's practice and the development of a teacher's skill is built explicitly on a rigorous approach to planning. This goes beyond just written plans and includes a process of mental preparation, anticipation, rehearsal and performance - all essential elements of the craft of teaching. This book offers heaps of useful advice and key ideas related to planning an effective lesson.
With clear links between the preparation of writing a lesson plan, and the delivery of that lesson plan through your teaching, this book explores:
- Common components of lesson planning including learning objectives, learning outcomes, starters, teaching activities and plenaries
- The lesson plan document: what it can and can't do
- Teaching 'style' and your role in bringing lesson plans to life within your classroom
- Common pitfalls, including time management, over- and under-running, optimum learning time, and activity sequencing
- Broader strategies such as differentiation, personalisation and assessment
- Sample lesson planning documents from real teachers
"This is essential reading for all teachers, teacher educators and policy makers. For new entrants to the profession, it offers the opportunity to think beyond the notion of folk pedagogies and to consider how a more powerful theoretical framework might underpin lesson planning. It presents essential analysis as to why common approaches to teaching and learning have emerged and become embedded - this provides a great opportunity for more experienced teachers to develop a deeper critical understanding of their practice."
