Instructional Planning & Design

Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Technology

Having technology to share with the student would be helpful. I find there is a need for more to work with.

Following curriculum

I find it very helpful to deviate slightly from the day to day to keep it interesting.

Ice breakers

Its easy to get to know your students by simply asking questions. some will be happy to share while others may prefer to talk more privately. Finding which your student would prefer is the trick.

Time management

I have learned the hard way to always have a back up plan in case lecture runs short. Kitchen days are a little trickier. If there is no product left it can be difficult to find something for them to work on.

Support materials

Support materials assist greatly with the content that I deliver. Use of the internet, books, magazines, diagrams. I find that by using various methods and materials I am able to better keep my students "awake",focused and engaged during class, and this in turn stimulates the student into wanting to be more involved in the classroom.

Learning objectives

At my learning institution the lesson plans are written at the corporate level, however, I add content that I see relevant to what I am specifically teaching.

John Morris

Documenting the lesson plan

I find it very useful in documenting the lesson plan for various reasons, some of those being ..the lesson plan keeps me focused to what is being taught for the day (especially as I teach different subject classes on various days) The lesson plans are also great for when sub instructors (myself included) have to pick up an extra class for the day/week/term

John Morris

Preparing the lesson plan

The preparation of the lesson plan is vitaly important for both the Instuctor and the student alike. For the Instructor it is the main tool in knowing what and how to deliver the content of what is taught in the classrom. For the student, a well thought out and written lesson plan enables the student to look ahead to what is being taught for that particular day.
