Before the session will commence, teacher will be involved in planning learning. This process involves creating the session plan, resources and activities needed to perform the subject. On very occasions

Observation is vital when you’re trying to guide behavior. With observation you can learn what interests or what children have struggles with. You can also learn how a child tackles problems or handles their frustrations, and it can also help you understand why children do the stuff they do. When you have accurate and detailed observations you can provide more precise information to parents about their child’s behavior and also to your administrators and colleagues.

Because I was presented with a lesson plan (secondary literature lesson plan) that corresponds with my field of study (secondary English education), I was more enthusiastic to teach a lessons that held my interest. I also learned that I am more organized than I am prepared. Although I keep my documents and resources organized, it does not mean I am not completely prepared to teach the certain subjects. Additionally, I learn that I am (or will be) a professional. I should continuously strive to project that image at all times, even when I believe that no one is looking. Dressing for success maintain respect and establishes credibility and authority while looking comfortable and mature. Overall, I learned that I will be a teacher one

When I do plan my lessons, I focus first on my student’s interests, readiness skills, and learning profile and take into consideration that their interests, readiness and learning profile follows in the content that I teach. I then apply my teaching lessons with various activities to keep their brains active and engaged in the learning

Most of the units I teach are available in E3 or L1, so I will differentiate between the students as to what level they work at As I frequently have a number of foreign students speaking very little English when they join, I must remember to include LA1.3, LA1.6, LA2.1 and LA2.3 & .4. At the reviews the Functional skills tutors will feed in literacy and numeracy problems and goals to be addressed during the month, these I need to include in my lesson planning eg L needs to develop spelling and punctuation skills, so when planning the next lesson, I look to see if I can incorporate something to build on these eg word searches, or reminding him to be careful with punctuation in his writing. The student in the Initial Assessment (A) needs help and support with reading and writing, so a support worker needs to be written into every session plan to help. In many of the units I teach, class participation in discussions are expected and I must express myself clearly LS1 , LS2, LS3, LL1. I must plan my lesson carrying out LR1 & LR2. Embedding numeracy in a non maths lesson can be tricky, but in session (D) researching a flat and tenancy (IT) students had to work out much they would pay out to rent a flat (rent plus deposit etc) and in (E) designed a bedsit, incorporating measurements. Above all when planning a session I must produce a lesson that considers the subject content and criteria, it must be relevant

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

InTASC Standard 7 states the requirements for effectively planning instruction. First of all, the educator must ensure that every student meets learning goals. The instruction the teacher plans needs to fit the needs of every student so that no child is put at a disadvantage. Every student should have an equal opportunity to benefit from every lesson. In order to plan such effective instruction, an educator needs to take several areas into account. First of all, a teacher should draw upon past experience with and knowledge of the content, so that the students have a foundation to stand on. Students will feel more comfortable and open going into the lesson if they already know something. Secondly, an effective teacher needs to consider

To start, preparation is paramount at any level of education, but particularly at the most basic levels of education. In observing my peers teaching it was evident that the more prepared they were, the more successful the lesson would be. When it was my turn to teach I really tried to be prepared and to have a good plan in place so that my transitions and instructions would be smooth. The

I have decided to go into teaching after many years of management in the manufacturing field, including closing plants and outsourcing. I was guided into engineering in high school and college Even though I am new to the education field, I believe the experience that I can bring to the classroom will be inspiring to the students. I have three children of my own and can see education from both the parent and school points of view. I am organized, flexible, work well with others, and can provide a real world perspective that other teachers may not be able to provide. In being organized, I like to have my teaching plans set at least a week ahead of time. This would include all copies and materials. The next days’ lesson should be set on the desk ready to go whether I am going to be there or not.

Planning for a classroom is important to keep teachers organized as well as helping the students succeed according to their need.

Observe and record children’s actions, interactions and skill levels in conjunction with assistant teachers /aid and maintain a system of recording these observations based on children’s level of development in formulating curriculum.

What I found most valuable was learning about the three parts Instructional Triangle, in chapter one, “How to Plan for Instruction.” The first part is the goal, “What do you want your students to know or to be able to do?” Another part of the triangle is Assessment, “What evidence of success will you accept? The final part of the triangle is “What will you do to help them learn it? Do it?” I learned, “How Planning is a key component in effective instruction…Effective teachers know what they are teaching and why.”

The Lesson Plan artifact includes three FEAPs competencies, which are Competency 2, Competency 1, and Competency 3. Competency 2 addresses the Learning Environment as follows: Knowledge of appropriate student-centered learning environment. The lesson plan involves a tremendous amount of information and work. As an educator when creating a lesson plan, one will need to decide the best delivery method of the lesson plan taking into consideration the learning environment, perhaps using to delivery methods. It is imperative to create an environment that is student centered appropriate learning atmosphere maximizing the students’ academic potential and success. Communication is an important key in creating an effective lesson plan. The teacher recognizes the standards they want to address and will develop a technique to ensure the objectives and goals for the lesson will be accomplished. Each student learns differently and it is up to the teacher to recognize those variations and adapt the lesson plan accordingly to include the needs and background of all the students in the class. Identifying the

The first step in developing a lesson plan is to determine what students should learn and be able to do at the end of class. Teachers should define what the lesson’s topic is going to be, what tangible skills should be acquired and what intangible knowledge should be learned. Once these goals are defined, rank them by importance. This helps with managing time and focuses on the most important learning objectives. Objectives should incorporate state standards into the curriculum at every possible opportunity. Lesson plan objectives should be measurable and achievable. It may help to think about how students may potentially apply the most important ideas or skills in their daily lives.

From the section focused on lesson planning the tips I liked more than others were; creating an objective that is specific, skill oriented, or measurable, taking time to reflect the on lesson, and breaking down the lesson into manageable parts such as do now, mini-lesson, and guided practice. In the differentiating instruction, which I thought to be one of the most important content areas, focused on being flexible with the lesson and focusing on each student's learning compatibility. Some of the tips that suck out to me were; assessing continuously to track student progress, tier lessons to challenge all students, present concepts to the whole class, then tail groups to differentiate, and grouping students by readiness, interest, or learning styles.
