This unit has been affirming, reinforcing the importance of establishing a consistent routine in lesson planning. It's good to be reminded of the value of assessing students' prior knowledge and organizing resources early, which makes instruction more focused, effective, and impactful. It has always been my goal to be intentional about preparation so that the lessons I development build on what students already know.
I learned that's it important to be prepared and have extra materials to incase my lecture runs short giving students to much free time makes them loose compresences.
Good Lesson planning involves making sure content is relevant and up-to-date.
Good lesson planning is important..Also to keep students alert.No Boredom!
I learned that you should have additional activities planned/prepared in case you go through your lesson plan too quickly. I will have different activities, such as case studies or Kahoot in case I finish all the content within 25 minutes. Also, it is important to assess how much students know about the topic to provide a useful and effective lesson plan.
1 Find out what your student know and do not know about
2. Teach to the lowest level.. Remember not every one knows everything
3. Pre-Test
Taking the time to perform a lesson plan that the students can relate to and keep the students active as my course is primarily hands on evolutions.
Effective lesson planning is essential to keeping students engaged and on track.
Involving your students in areas of lesson planning can engage them in ways that are consistent with their learning styles and exploit opportunities for them to share experiences when they are already familiar with the subject matter. This is a technique that will allow the instructor to avoid boredom and utilize the class time in an efficient and effective manner.
I learned that it is important to be prepared and that you should get to know the background of your students.
I've learned that effective lesson planning is not just about content coverage but also about maximizing every minute of classroom time.
I'll proactively plan and ensure instructional time is not wasted but verify students remain engaged and challenged throughout the entire classroom period, and most importantly in any case keep extra material prepared for lessons that may have additional time.
Lesson plans help keep time managed and topics organized, and clear guidance. I also like a pre test to see what the students know already so i can build on the knowledge they have.
A well-prepared lesson plan helps create a smooth and meaningful learning experience for all students.
Outsourcing to get students to find relevant readings or videos as material for the class, sure!
I have always liked the idea of a pre-test. This course re-inforced that idea.
Preparing a lesson plan should be such that it will be delivered in a scheduled timely manner, with goals and objectives clarified. Have alternative lesson activities should you compress your lesson pan. Getting to know your students experience level in said subjects helps to generate different approaches to delivery of any given subject.
I have gained a deeper understanding of the importance of assessing students' prior knowledge before introducing new material. This approach allows educators to tailor instruction effectively, ensuring that students at varying levels of experience and cognitive ability receive the support they need.
I also explored various techniques for gauging student understanding, such as pre-assessments, interactive discussions, and formative evaluations. Implementing these strategies enhances engagement and promotes meaningful learning experiences. Additionally, I learned how to adapt instruction to accommodate different cognitive levels, making lessons more accessible and impactful for all learners.
Understanding and applying these principles will strengthen my ability to create an inclusive and effective learning environment.
You need to know what your students do or do not already know. The lessons should accomodate students with different background knowledge levels and be appropriate to your objectives and goals.
This lesson actually made me feel really good about what I have learned and have already been doing in my first few years of teaching. It is important to be prepared with a broad variety of activities and content, but to highlight the important things and have the activities to keep students engaged if the time allows.
Lesson plans help us manage time effectively, anticipate student needs, and provide clear guidance throughout the lesson. They also support consistency, improve student engagement, and allow for better assessment of learning outcomes. Ultimately, planning enhances the overall quality of education and promotes a more confident and effective teaching experience.
