I'm wondering how many teachers create actual individual lessons, not just planning the teaching and preparing for the lesson?

I think lesson planning is a vital piece and acts as a map that shows progress towards our goals. I do think that a lot of the basic lesson categories don't have to be written out unless you have very little experience. Many decisions can be made in the moment.

The key concepts that are important and worth holding onto from the readings are as follows: difference between curruculum and lesson plans. Using the Bloom Taxonomy verbs in creating lessons. The eight components of lesson planning. Using Socratic Seminars Using instruction that is both student and teacher led. Lastly, different assessments (formative, summative,project based and performance based. Now I know the difference I can adequately explain them to others.

# data[].attributes.body
The connections I draw is creating my lesson plans that I create now will be used as my personal curriculum. I do want to include Bloom Taxonomy Verbs in my lessons to help students to grow. Making sure each of my lessons have a SMART goal. My lesson plans includes the eight essentials. Using Equity instead of equality,more student and teacher led instructions,using several measuring successes such as project based learning.

I believe that every teacher should have the skill and ability to craft effective lesson plans. Lesson plans can provide a helpful structure for organizing content, assessing student progress, and adapting instruction based on student needs.
Ultimately, the best approach to facilitating student learning experiences will depend on a variety of factors, including your teaching goals, your students' needs and interests, and the resources available to you.

I've never written objectives in a SMART way; I use and teach my students to use the ABCD model (audience, behavior (from Bloom's), context, degree). The ABCD model shares a lot of similarities with the SMART model, but I like how the SMART model forces the objective writer to look at the relevance and attainability of the objective. I also think that writing good objectives comes from a lot of practice and trial and error. I also liked the distinction between equity and equality. It's something we talk about a lot in my class as students start to notice differences between the students in their placements and come up with how to make learning more accessible and equitable for them.

I agree with this. I tell my students that we have to learn how to write long lesson plans until it becomes second nature to include all of the essential elements. I don't physically write out the accommodations I'm making - I just do them. I also have learned how to be flexible in the moment. I have a few different formative assessment strategies I use, even though they're not written down anywhere. To me, it's more important to follow the students' leads based on what they're showing they know/can do than it is to make sure you've executed your lesson plan perfectly. I try to help my students see this as well, but sometimes it's hard for them to be flexible, as they lack the experience needed to make changes on the fly.

The SMART concept is the most important idea I can retain from the webinar. I believe utilizing this concept can prepare educators to develop successful lessons. Many times lesson can be too long or technical just for the sake of looking attractive or trying to impress the reviewing administrator. However, the goal of the lesson is to provide effective instruction to the student that specific, measurable, achievable, relative, and timely. As an educator if I can base my lessons specifically on this acronym, I believe I will be more successful with students rather than developing lessons that look good on paper, but don't benefit the students learning objectives.

I realize the importance of lesson planning and that " one size doesn't fit all."  In my district, we can't agree on which template to use when there are so many "best/research based" ones available. How do we select what's "best" for our district with so many choices/

Through the webinar and readings I learned that I have been writing incomplete learning objectives for a very long time. My learning objectives almost always ONLY included what students would be able to do, but did not include how students would demonstrate learning, the context for learning or the criteria for proficiency. I think a complete learning objective makes the goal of the class clear for EVERYONE, especially students.

# data[].attributes.body
The key concepts or ideas that I found important and worth holding onto from the readings and the webinar are the differences between daily lesson plans and curriculum. The lesson plans are the “How.” While the curriculum is the “What.” As a substitute teacher, I work primarily with a teacher’s daily lesson and not with the curriculum of the class.

# data[].attributes.body
The connections that I draw between what I’ve learned so far and my own teaching practices are with the “hidden curriculum” and the daily lesson plans. As a substitute teacher, I am challenged to give the lesson plans to my students that day and make sure students succeed with those assignments. But I am also challenged by the “hidden curriculum.” When a guest teacher is in a classroom, students are expected to act a certain way. They are expected to be respectful to the guest teacher and follow the classroom norns. Some days, I find myself focusing more on the “hidden curriculum” than the daily lesson plan.

# data[].attributes.body
I am impressed with teachers who can create lesson plans for a substitute so quickly in an unexpected absence. How do teachers come up with these activities so quickly? Also, can an upper elementary/ intermediate lesson plan be developed to focus on middle/ high school?

# data[].attributes.body
I think lesson planning has become both easier and more difficult with technology. For example, in a high school or middle school classroom, I can tell students that their assignment for the day is on Google Classroom or Schoology. All students need to do is log into the LMS and complete the assignment. But this can sometimes be difficult to monitor and some students may not complete the assignment. There can also be other issues with technology such as wifi being out or a student has trouble logging in.

I think that one key concept of objectives is to make sure that you have clear, measurable objectives. The objectives of each lesson should be attainable in a time frame. If the goal is more than one step, make sure each lesson is a small step toward that goal.

# data[].attributes.body
I realize that I need to break my lessons into smaller pieces and focus on one small moment rather than several. In our rush to fit in everything we need to teach, I tend to group too many concepts into one day.

# data[].attributes.body
How do you keep up with the time it takes to write detailed lesson plans? I look at an objective in my teachers guide, share an "I can" statement with students and teach away toward that statement without writing every specific detail.

# data[].attributes.body
is important but definitely ends up being like the visual in the video where there are 3 versions

1. The way you plan to teach it
2. The way it actually goes with students
3. The I wish I would have thought of that while teaching the lesson instead of while reflecting.

Diversifying my curriculum has been in the back of my mind for a while, and this idea was covered in the "My Role - Curriculum Design and Support" webinar. I teach at a rural school with a lack of diversity, and I feel that it is necessary to incorporate multicultural and female composers and musicians into our band and choir repertoire. I am going to challenge myself to do more of this!

Plan the Concepts you want to teach and the order you want to teach them . Also that Curriculum is the game plan for the Year while the lesson plans are the steps to accomplish it. I agree with all the statements above about the details of making the curriculum and lesson plans. While all these ideas are great on paper student learning is our assessment so staying flexible and willing to tweak our lessons for student learning is our ultimate goal.

For me, the time I invested in lesson planning helped me to center my teaching to the students and their needs while lining it with the standards to be met. It defined what needed to be taught and the fluff that could be trimmed. I did the lesson plans not because the administartion asked me too but because it made me a better teacher and I worked hard to think through what I wanted my students to learn but also where they were at build upon that

# data[].attributes.body
I am gratefull that I don't have to turn a lesson plan into the administartion each week. That being said I do thnk that lesson planning and following a curriculum is important so my thinking hasn't changed

# data[].attributes.body
For the most part this is really nice confirmation I am on the right track of making my curriculum and continuing to refine my lesson plans like a rough draft paper.

Is like most things in life it is the essential behind the scene hard work. Its reward is seeing students engage and enjoy learning and growing towards maturity. We also evolve ourselves into better teacher.

I was very interested in the Blooms Taxonomy Verbs. I am aware of the Blooms Taxonomy but I have never heard of the digital portion. We all know that teaching students how to utilize digital platforms is important but t have a framework specifically for it is super interesting.

Socratic Seminars is also interesting but I want to know more about how that would look in younger grades. I have my room set up in Socratic seating and I really think it has helped my students become better learners.

Many teachers are pulled in so many directions today. All teachers need to make sure they are delivering their curriculum for their students and we need to do this in a way that students will be engaged! There are so many factors to think about when you are doing this. In talking with other educators I believe so many of us feel that time is a factor when thinking about creating lesson plans. There are SO many things for teachers to do when they are "in front of kids". That thorough lesson planning sometimes doesn't get the time it deserves and NEEDS. I wish that lesson planning could be done collaboratively to help save time.

# data[].attributes.body
I think lesson planning is necessary for many things, but especially organization. It is important to have everything written out to be certain that standards and objectives have been reached and nothing has been overlooked. While I may not enjoy lesson planning, it always feels better when I have everything set out for the week and I know what I need to be prepared for each day.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest concept I feel is worth holding onto is the SMART learning objectives. If students know what they are learning, how they will demonstrate their level of understanding and why/how it will relate to the real world I feel the buy in for them to want to learn and be engaged will be much higher. Students want to know why they need to learn each concept/skill and the specific clearly written objectives will help with that.

# data[].attributes.body
I've learned that I can write a SMART goal pretty easily for my students IEPs but looking back at when I had my pull-out classes in previous districts I didn't do the best job of having clear learning objectives. I knew in my head what I wanted as the outcome but never clearly provided that to the students to help them master the concepts.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't necessarily have a question but am two years removed from writing plans for my pull-out classes and feel that if I had to write plans right now I know without a doubt I would not be doing my best work. I would really have to assess what is working and what's not working to make sure I meet the needs of my students. I feel I would be overwhelmed and frustrated for awhile because my plans wouldn't be "perfect."

# data[].attributes.body
Lesson planning provides a path for teachers to guide students to mastery on concepts being taught while laying out clearly what is needed, expected, and the reason students need to know the specific information. It is the roadmap to get students from point A to the destination in as much of an orderly fashion as possible but remembering that there will be detours and traffic jams as the journey down the map unfolds.

# data[].attributes.body
I think lesson planning has become easier with the use of Google and shared documents/apps so it is much easier to collaborate with co-workers in like subject areas. With the use of technology and platforms like Planbook lesson plans can be clearly laid out with the standards and can also be adjusted as needed based on student progress.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the concepts that I find more important is the SMART. I believe it is an easy way to remember and how to created more effective and relevant lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
Using al the concepts or even a couple of them, requires too much time and thought behind every lesson plan. I use some of this in some level, but I have 29 classes. I do want to start using little by little the SMART concept.

How much time it is healthy to take for lesson planning?

It is very important. We have to have a clear idea of our objectives to redirect and adapt as we see our student progression.

I think lesson planning is very important and esencial, but I don't write every detail on paper.

I agree the monitoring of lesson planning is ridiculous.  We have our lessons online and aligned before the school year starts.
