Lesson Plans

To teacher elementary education you will need lesson plans. Everyday the teacher will have a different lesson plan of what they are going to do that day. The lesson plan will be a step by step process of how the day will go. For example, teaching the math lesson then switch to reading and so on.There will obviously be time where the teacher will have to go off the lesson plan and change topics because the students are becoming impatient. Lesson plans are a great way to get everything you want done and timing how long everything will take.
Lesson Plans can also be a way to get the students interested and on a schedule. Students like to know what they are going to be doing. If you know the lesson will only take five minutes to teach then you can plan a game to play after and all the students will get excited. They will feel as if they are being rewarded for being good students.

  1. Lesson plans are like the skeleton in the body that is teaching. You need to use them as a basis and then be willing to wane from them as the day goes on. Always expect the unexpected!
