Lesson Planning Every lesson and class is different. By mastering and creating your own lesson plan, it brings you one step closer toward having a better grasp of the content and methods you are about to teach. A lesson plan is a structure for a lesson. The content depends on what the teacher wants to achieve in the lesson and how they hope to achieve it. Callum Robertson states that: ‘If you imagine a lesson is like a journey, then the lesson plan is the map.

However, as teachers gain experience and confidence they develop...  [Read more]
