I learned Taxonomy Levels could be used to guage the students in their performance.  I see it to be useful, similiar to a rubric, in assessments of student performance

Lesson plans will help navigate the instruction time within a class.  They provide a detailed outline of the content to be taught.  The more details you have in the lesson plan will better prepare you for the class.

Its very important to be organized as a teacher. Its good to keep your lesson plans in a binder of some sort, so that it can be referenced quickly for a substitute techer or maybe and evaluation

I've learned that it can benefit me in the classroom to get to know the student. Knowledge of the students can help me better prepare in the details of the content I am teaching, how much time needs to be spent of a specific topic, and how I can utilize the more advanced student to help with the instruction to other students.
