Importance Of Proper Lesson Planning<\/b><\/big><\/p>\n

\n

Have you ever walked into an exam totally unprepared? Ever taken a fitness test when you were out of shape? What about briefings – ever “tap-dance” because you weren’t properly prepared? Hopefully, these scenarios are not a regular occurrence or part of your lifestyle. Occasionally, you may “pull something off,” but usually such unpreparedness ends in disaster.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why then, is it that so many instructors try to “shoot from the hip” when it comes to teaching or facilitating? People frequently say they have it all in their “head” or they work best when they pull “something” together at the last minute. Teaching is similar to the scenarios above in that, in order to do a good job, you must be properly prepared. A high school football coach used to always preach what he called “The Seven Ps”:<\/span><\/p>\n

You prepare to teach class by reviewing materials, ensuring the equipment works, setting up student supplies, etc. You must also prepare by developing lesson plans. A lesson plan is a plan for learning. In the lesson plan you arrange the activities in a logical sequence for learning to take place. It is only with careful lesson planning that we can ensure we have included everything we need to teach the students effectively and that the material is organized in a manner that encourages learning. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n

Purposes of Lesson Planning<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Do not let the time it takes to prepare a lesson plan discourage you from doing so. The idea behind the lesson plan is to provide all instructors with a standardized tool for presenting instruction. In short, any instructor should be able to use the lesson plan and know exactly what needs to be taught and in what sequence. The three primary purposes of lesson plans are:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They aid the instructor in preparing for instruction.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. They provide a tool for giving the instruction.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. They document course content.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n
