How to Write an Expert Lesson Plan (Beginner Teacher Series)
In this quick rundown of teaching best practices, novice teachers will learn the first 4 elements of expert lesson planning. As you will see, lesson planning is more than just going over the instructions and trying to get the kids to do classwork. The key to expert lesson planning is being two steps ahead of the students.
Therefore, when you sit down to write your lesson plans - be sure to think ahead. What do I want the students to learn? What is the purpose of this lesson? And why is this lesson important? If you don't make the lesson valuable, then your students are going to get bored and tune out.
Therefore, spend a few extra minutes "thinking" about why the kids need to pay attention.
