I think lesson planning creates meaningful conversations within the classroom and instruction more purposeful.

It aligns teachers with learning goals - schoolwide! It also helps teachers be better prepared to accommodate diverse learners. It also allows teachers to be more effective and efficient.

In my opinion, the best part about lesson planning is the opportunity for collaboration and reflection!

I appreciate the reminder of writing SMART goals and using Blooms Taxonomy. I routinely revisit these frameworks and enjoy the various multimodal resources explaining their importance, how to implement, and strong examples to refer to.

Further, I liked 18+ Tips and Tricks for Lesson Planning found in the linked video. I found them to be true and relevant. Though the majority are a part of my current practice, it would've been so helpful to have this video at my fingertips from the very beginning! I love to see how educators are creating impactful content and resources to share with others.

What AI tools are effective for efficiently differentiating lesson plans to accommodate ALL learners with various background knowledge?

Lesson planning and objectives will remain imperative. However, I think the strategies and methods we use to complete them will require routine improvement and collaboration.

In the past, I have experienced both situations: challenges with no solid developed curriculum, and a high level of support with logical framework provided.

As with anything, I believe continuous improvement is paramount. Especially regarding curriculum and content development - educators must use data-driven processes, systematically analyze student needs and adapt practices to see sustainable, systemic change.

I really like the way "SMART" goal setting. It helps you narrow down the object to one that all can understand. If done correctly it doesn't leave students wondering what they are supposed to be doing.

I have created lesson plans for many years. What has always been most upsetting is the time it would take to create good plans. I am excited to use Chatgpt to build my plan I would like to know what other AI sources are worth trying?

The connection that I draw between what I've learned so far and my own teaching practice is that I am always reflecting and changing what I have taught. The information so far has been a refresher for me but it is easy to forget some of the steps when building a lesson plan.

I think lesson planning can be fun and it motivates me and gets me excited to teach the lesson. I think about all the students and make accommodation where needed, but I high expectation for all students.

The writing materials that I have been given by my district to achieve the writing curriculum has been very vague and not relevant to the real world and students needs. I would make it more engaging for students and easier for teachers to follow.

I have had a lot of experience with curriculum planning during my studies and 17 years in the classroom. One of my favorite courses in my masters degree program was actually a curriculum design course, so much of what we have gone over so far has been a good review. Of course, the farther away you get from that course and your actual teaching, you can at times forget to implement things your first did. Also, while I always hope to reach individual learning profiles, having large class sizes and short courses can sometimes make that difficult. This is a good challenge to try and figure those things out and apply them to lesson plans even when you have over 120 students working on the same lesson (which is thankfully not my current situation, but has been one I have been in in the past). Finally, at times, you have to change your curriculum so many times to fit the "newest" educational trend, that you can get tired of trying to involve all the details. This was a reminder to still consider the big pictures, the little details, and the individual learners.

Sidenote to Madeline - the Bloom's Taxonomy blog link brought me to something else entirely. I am wondering if maybe that link has changed.

I have had multiple experiences with curriculum ranging from having to use a preset shared curriculum to having full reign of designing and implementing our own curriculum. Of course, I think curriculum planning is fun, so I always like it better when I can design my own. But working with colleagues to come up with shared curriculum also offers differing insights, talents, and perspectives. Having a pre-developed curriculum can be a little more challenging to make your own to best fit the needs of your classroom, but it can be doable if you have the support to allow you to adjust things.

I think lesson planning can be a lot of fun, although it can be tedious at times. However, I think lesson planning is essential to having a successful course and successful students. It enables you to see where you are going, how you are going to get there, how you are going to help students with different needs and styles, and what shows you have reached that destination.

AI is taking on a major role in lesson planning. I have heard so many people talk about how they are able to use AI for their classroom. I have never really been involved with that, but I took a REMC course on it recently, and am now curious how I could implement that more. So I guess my questions will be more along the lines of how successful are the lessons created by AI, how much time does it take to revise those lessons to best fit your class, and what are the results when you implement AI generated lesson plans.

Lesson plans are imperative, but sometimes, those plans need to be tweaked for each class. Lesson plans are a guide, but they can be adjusted when they aren't working. And even when they work great for one round, they might need to be revised for the next group.

The curriculum I’ve used in the past has been structured and standards-aligned but often lacks flexibility and student voice. I would modify it by incorporating more choice, real-world connections, and social-emotional supports to better engage diverse learners.

I think lesson planning is most effective when it is flexible and student-centered rather than overly rigid. Savanna Velasquez

What I’ve learned so far reinforces my focus on flexible, student-centered lesson planning. It aligns with my efforts to incorporate student voice, SEL, and real-world connections to create more meaningful learning experiences.

I’m curious about how to balance meeting standards with allowing flexibility for student choice and real-world connections.

Yes, my thinking has shifted to view lesson plans and objectives as flexible guides rather than rigid scripts. I now see them as tools to intentionally support student engagement, differentiate learning, and integrate social-emotional growth alongside academic goals.
