Prior to this class, I had no other experience with documentation panels. This was a very intriguing new experience because it allows pre service teachers and their peers to view weeks of their work within one project. This is extremely beneficial for our future because not only are we getting practice in for full time student teaching, but we are also learning more through the inquiry ourselves. After the first day of lesson planning and teaching it is clear to say there is a difference between talking about teaching a lesson and actually doing the teaching of a lesson. The biggest takeaway I had from this experience was to have multiple back up plans. It is almost impossible to think of all the different directions students might translate the lesson being taught. This being true, teachers need to be able to address and engage that student in their translation to make sure the conceptualized information taught is turned into a cognitive learning experience. In order to make a backup plan possible, we need to think ahead and incorporate that into the lesson plan. I have found it helpful that it is better to over-plan, than to under-plan. I believe this to be true because while doing our document panel, our over planning allowed us to create a steady path and direction that boosted student knowledge. It also gave us option for our documentation panel because we had so many different elements we could choose from that demonstrated how well students were learning and
The purpose of the Gagne/ Lesson Plan Comparison assignment is to compare the two modes of lesson planning. In the body of this assignment I will identify similarities and differences I have found between the two methods. I hope that this will provide me with a clear understanding of their strengths and weaknesses for any future lesson planning I may have.
This stage speaks for itself. You do the lesson! A teacher will put their plan into action and must be prepared
The first lessons are concerned with a lot of verbal assessment and discussion, in order to gauge levels of experience pupils may have had prior to beginning my group. (At primary school Kishnama worked with a ceramic artist making and decorating tiles). During the first lessons with my A Level group, I neglected to talk about prior learning. One identifiable weakness in my planning. It is my responsibility to break down an overall scheme of work into lesson plans, identifying aims and learning outcomes through listing what I intend to demonstrate. E.g. in a scheme of work “hand building forms” would be written. My session plan would/should
The learning outcomes are important. There has to be a reason on why something is being taught, and how it will be useful to the students future. Throughout the paper, I’m going to give you an example of a lesson plan I
In part 2, I will provide a critical reflection on my own teaching practice during recent placement by making detailed connections to an appended lesson plan.
The leadership team discussed specific outcomes that they want accomplish, taking into consideration the issues they want to address. After careful deliberation, they decided that they wanted to create a process of implementation with a feedback loop in which teachers and staff discuss each lesson. Documentation would be written down of what worked and what did not work and modifications could be done for the upcoming lessons. This could be accomplished by setting time for staff to meet and discuss lesson implementation, areas of strength and weakness. After discussion the staff would discuss and change the lesson plans to meet the needs of classroom. By crating this process of implementation staff can course correct
When I am developing units plans, I ensure that all my lessons are deeply infused with the Common Core learning standards. I am also a firm believer in incorporating differentiated instruction. I am able to differentiate through analyzing test results. From those results, I design tiered assignments to give students the appropriate level of material to complete. I deem it is important to know all of my students as individuals. When planning, my students interest and learning styles are taken into consideration. I have also enhanced the phonics based reading program, by infusing whole language learning. I enjoy creating hands on centers such as sensory bin dig, book box, and egg addition. When I find that students are having difficulty, I reach out to my colleagues for ideas. I especially do so for my students with IEP's. I regularly communicate with the speech, SETTs, and OT teachers. By taking these steps, I can execute lessons that are curriculum driven and
Before I begin this paper, I would like to explain that this paper is based on my experience working at the Home Depot. Things might have changed since I left in November, and that this does not represent anything other than what my experience was working there. I worked as a freight team member and the duties include unloading the trucks and stocking the stores at night when the customers are not at the store. During the night shift there is less than ten people working in the store so most of the time we are stocking the shelves by ourselves unless we were unloading the truck.
This stage was important because “To fail to plan is to plan to fail” (Petty 2004: 422). I did not need to create a scheme of work because my colleague was expected to return back to teach the next sessions. I prepared a session plan to reflect how I would create an inclusive teaching session. I created hand-outs (In this instance, I used on side of coloured pastel paper to suit the dyslexic learner) and power-point presentation which promote all aspects
There are three important frameworks teachers should think about when developing lesson plans. The first one is literacy lesson format. This format has three different steps, which include: introducing the text, reading and responding to the text and extending the text. When introducing the text the student previous knowledge should be activated about the subject and the students should develop their own purpose for reading the text. When responding to the text students should do this over the course of the reading. By the end they should be able to go back and summarize what they read while answering any questions they may have acquired while reading. Finally the students should extend the text by making personal connections with the text
Reece and Walker (2000) discuss, there are several building blocks to be considered when planning for effective learning. I will discuss the sections of the planning process that need to be considered planning for a lesson.
As proposed by Dymoke and Harrison, good lesson planning is essential to successful teaching in so far as stating, `It is often the case that poor teaching, classroom management and behaviour stem from lack of explicit planning` (2008, p.122) It is suggested then, that thorough planning is fundamental to the successful learning of pupils in many ways. Whilst allowing the teacher to follow a process of thinking, providing a mental practice session if you like, the act of planning therefore becomes an imperative aid for both student and teacher.
I am going to maximize the student’s learning in my classroom by having everything organized. I would make my lesson plans ahead of time so that I am not stressed. If the teacher is less stressed, than the children would be relaxed. I personally believe that it will be an easier way, if you have all your lessons planned out ahead of time.
Firstly, I would like to talk about the lesson planning and delivering. As we have already learnt from Teaching Methodology 402, lesson plan works as guideline and help us a lot as teacher trainees. It reminds us what to
The content lesson plan was done for Languages, Mathematics and Social Studies whereby meaningful and appealing opportunities for the students to practice, master and learn were arrived at through competent teaching strategies which enabled the students to develop and learn within their academic, linguistic and social contexts to build instructional opportunities that optimized their learning. Further, performance indicators were used to inspire prior knowledge as well as link fresh ideas to the students’ familiar experiences and ideas.
