What do you want to know about Lesson Planning? by Simone M Blom

How to get it all

2022-04-06 06:16:48 UTC

There are a lot of elements to consider when planning a lesson. I know over time I will get better (hopefully) but right now there are are lot of boxes to check

Cross-curriculum priorities

How to include the cross-curriculum priorities into theory lessons without just sticking them in to tick a box?

Meaningful Connections

How do we have time to make meaningful connections with students when there seems to be so many things to do outside the classroom. Are we expected to have it all ready from day 1?

Meaningful connections

Lesson plans are the first step for the teacher to be prepared for a better learning outcome for students. It's a common saying -If you fail to plan, plan to fail.

The secret to continuing student engagement

There is that moment when you walk into the room as a teacher and you have the students' attention. I'd like to keep that moment going for the whole lesson.

Building trusting student-teacher relationships

2023-11-29 04:03:42 UTC

As a mother of two elementary school children, I watch and listen as their vocabulary builds upon new colloquial terms (some of which I've had to ask about)

As a teacher, do you think an important aspect of being a good teacher is to build and stay on top of understanding student culture, in order to assimilate with your students and ensure a positive classroom environment?

It's crazy how quickly language changes as slang and cultural difference intertwine and create new meanings!!

How to put it all together

2024-03-31 02:01:48 UTC

There are so many components to lesson planning, I would like to know how to find engaging content for students to include in lesson plans and how to put it all together in a meaningful sequence for students so they can get the most out of each lesson.

Scafolding lessons or tailoring lessons for adjustments

2024-04-02 23:41:30 UTC

One of the main concerns is lesson planning with adjustments. Particularly for low literacy and numeracy skills. Makes it challenging for science uses both to explore concepts in science. Without it makes it harder to engage in science. Are there any good tools to aid with the planning?

All of it!

But particularly scaffolding and differentiation tips for diverse classrooms that doesn't take hours to come up with; making lessons flow; and engaging introductions to the lesson.

Activites

2024-11-21 23:10:50 UTC

What is the lesson made up of? I assume a teacher will introduce a topic firstly but what else can the lesson entail? My only knowledge is showing a powerpoint or video, brainstorming, worksheets and group work. I would like more ideas listed of things you can include in a theory lesson. For students to 'explore' how are they exploring? Do I provide reading excerpts? Do they have access to computers and can go online themselves to research? Also, how long is a lesson?

Timing

2024-11-26 01:12:04 UTC

How many lessons do you have to get through the content and meet the outcomes? In the lessons how do you know how much time an activity takes without testing it out.

Cross-curriculum Priorities

2025-03-31 00:25:52 UTC

Searching how the theme or keyword of the lesson is related to the CCP's would yield some content that could be used for generating inquiry, or as an eg of human endeavour and even problematic knowledge where students can use scientific understanding and communication to enlighten themselves and others that topic or issue.

How do I gauge how long to spend on activities?

2025-04-07 04:16:12 UTC

How do I plan time for activities given every class has a range of learners and some will need more time than others? How do I ensure faster students don't get bored and disrupt others and effectively get them working on extension exercises without other students feeling left behind?

How to plan lessons efficiently and effectively?

2025-11-24 09:32:41 UTC

With all the information to gather, arrange, present and create. I think it's gonna take a long time to plan something that's creative, fun and informative. But with so many lessons to plan everyday, it's impossible to spend large amount of time on lesson plan. How do I improve my planning speed without dramatically decrease the quality of my lesson plan?

Relevance

Keeping lesson plans relevant to the students while remaining faithful to curriculum goals seems like a challenge.

Not completing the lesson

2026-04-06 07:47:09 UTC

With a large amount of content and few lessons to teach it, what happens when unplanned school events take up class time. Or when things don’t go as planned during the lesson, but to continue the during the next class will affect your ability to cover the unit content entirely
