Cedu521: Week Four
This week I really focused on ways to make my unit plan clearer for others to understand. This goal was valuable to achieve because if I were absent while teaching this unit, I would need my substitute to have an understanding of what the students should be doing on a given day. This is something that I have not done with as much detail since I was an undergraduate in school and had to write up lesson plans during my student teaching. While time consuming, it is valuable not only for other instructors, but allows me to more fully envision the lessons that I plan to initiate with my students.

You make a great point Jenny. When I was subbing it was nice when everything was written out clearly so that I was able to do exactly what the teacher wanted me to do. Thanks for mentioning that. I'll make sure to take extra care that my plan is easy to read and understand.
ReplyDeleteIt is a valuable exercise, even if you're the only one who is going to see it. It's nice to know exactly what you're doing, and what needs to be modified the next time around. I know from personal experience that writing things out in significant detail makes me more aware of how I am to execute the activity.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing a great job!
