Preparation for a lesson plan is essential. Taking the time to know your audience and assess their knowledge helps to focus on the content the students need to meet the objectives. Furthermore, when providing the lesson plan compensation for time, dilation helps keep your students on track and helps them have confidence in you as an instructor.
good lesson planning requires flexibility. Assessing students prior knowledge helps make lessons more engaging. since one plan may not work for every class, having a backup is important and managing time well also improves teaching effectiveness.
I am finding that I am in exactly these situations. Though they seem to be pointing out the issues with no real answers for the information.
I have learned that taking the time to write out an effective lesson plan can help drastically with staying on track and also help keep the students engaged. Also, by utilizing the pretests an instructor can gain a better understanding of what the students already know and avoid boring them. Doing research outside the textbook will also benefit the instructor to be as up to date as possible with information.
I like the idea of having back up materials or activities lined up and ready in case of the compression factor
I've learned that gaging what my students already know is a key step in creating a lesson plan and while there are several ways to do this including ice breakers and questionnaires, A pre-test will be the best course of action for my subject.
I think getting the students to provide content that helped them will help the class overall in the long term. This is a good idea.
Good planning, a simple assessment test and a brief handout of personal info such as name hobbies current working enviornment etc... are tools I will be implementing.
The material should be able to enhance the knowledge of those who already have a solid knowledge base, as well as bring struggling students up to speed. Using a variety of material for presentations can help engagement.
Time management is essential for creating a lesson plan that works in the allotted time of the course.
in nursing, its assessment before implementation. assess student knowledge before blindly implementing your course
Ask questions to see what your students already know.
It is important to use many resources when planning your lessons. Pretests allow you to have an understanding of what students already know, what skills they have and what skills they need to learn.
Be able to accommodate to each student as each student is different and learns in different ways
My experience as an instructor has taught me the importance of preparation and time management. I have experienced both the compression factor and not completing my lesson before the end of class. This module did a good job of preparing new instructors to avoid these mistakes.
The information on time compression was valuable.
Use assessment strategies to learn as much as you can about your students. become flexible with what your lesson plan is and adapt to what students may already know. By utilizing pretests and gathering information about pre-existing knowledge that your students may already know, you can adapt and make your lesson plan not as boring and keep students engaged.
Through this course, I learned that there are a lot of things that we need to keep in mind before preparing a lesson plan for the class. We need to make changes in the lesson plans for each set of class. One lesson plan may not completely fulfil the requirements of the next set of students even though the contents to be covered may be the same. Instructors need to be flexible and have a plan B always ready incase your main plan doesn't work.
Be ready when students have a question. Try to stay on the same subject you are about to teach.
figure out what your students may or may not know prior to the start of the lesson.
