Simple Tips on Lesson Planning

       Lesson planning is not a fan of many teachers, but one must admit that without a plan things can go very disorganised.   Learning should be organized in  order for the intended goals, objectives  and learning outcomes to be achieved.  Anyone who teaches, must be reminded to several things:
After choosing the lessons the;
    1.  goals and objectives must be relevant to the lesson
    2. objectives must match with the student abilities.
    3. content must be easy to read and comprehended by students.
    4. structures, strategies and techniques used to teach the lesson are used effectively.
    5. assessment used should actually measure set goals and objectives and that is to the advantage of         the student and not be viewed as a negative  tool.
    6. evaluations for each lesson should look out for successes and weakness displayed or                experienced.   Both teaching and learning outcomes should be evaluated to ensure that good teaching and learning are achieved and make the necessary changes where needed.

     Teaching has moved from the old days of just plain "chalk and talk," to using any innovative means to ensure good information transfer, developing of skills and successful passing of final assessments for students to transition to another level of learning.  There are so many gadgets that can be used to enhance learning.  However, without proper planning, desirable learning and teaching outcomes will not be a reality for all stakeholders.



     This is my take on the matter, after many years of teaching, it is clear to me that proper planning is always good and as teachers, we need to embrace it and not look at a class and condemn them because of how they look or their socio economic status.  Teachers, please plan to transform students into better learners and make yourselves  become better teachers.
