Principal attending lesson planning

by Lena

Oct 19, 2011

Has anybody had experience with this? Our principal has been coming to our team's (lower elementary) once a week planning period to observe. He doesn't say much during the period but takes notes. A couple of us have written notes to him that it is kinda "cramping our style". For one thing, we can't be candid with each other (even to say, hey I didn...See More

Lesson Presentation

by subteacher86

Feb 15, 2012

Okay,

I'm certified for English / Language Arts 6-12, but the lesson plans I've written for middle school and high school so far have not been so great. I don't know if other beginning teachers have this problem, but I've found that I usually experience a great deal of difficulty when executing lesson plans that I have written. I don't rea...See More

teacherjessica Your first year teaching is full of new experiences and challenges. It seems that you are a thoughtful and caring teacher who cares enough to look at what is not working and adapt.

My first advice is to give pre-assessments. I also found it very confusing my first year of teaching that I did not know what my students already knew. Before ...See More

subteacher86 I'm a sub, because my district isn't hiring right now, but I hope to teach high school or middle school soon. Ideally, I would like to work with 6th, 7th, 8th, or 9th grade. Middle school is a ridiculous challenge, but I would like to prove that I can meet it. The kids are still genuine and sweet; they're not really adults yet, so they interact wit...See More

Feb 27, 2012

What is your opinion on the lesson model of Madeline Hunter vs. the Learning Cycle lesson model? Do you see one working much better than the other, or does it depend on the subject being taught?

by Eric Clement

Apr 9, 2012

Hi Everyone, Before I put forward my question for discussion I'll tell you I am not a teacher and I am just asking this question for learning purposes only as I find it is an interesting topic.

In Canada who claims ownership on teacher-created lesson plans? Is it the public schools/school board (i.e. the government) or does the teacher st...See More

#1828 All About Frogs

Can someone clean up the misuse of the word "there" in this lesson plan. Its sad the word "there" is used repeatedly for the word "their" and this is in a lesson plan no less.

Planning

by lostsubteacher

Jun 11, 2012

Teachers,

I'm sorry if this sounds like a strange question, but how do you use the pacing guide to come up with a semester-long or year-long plan? How do you break this plan into units? How do you break the units into daily activities? I want to create a portfolio of lesson plans to demonstrate to a principal during my next interview, but...See More
