Step 2.2 - Lesson Planning
What do you think are
the difficulties of preparing lesson plans?
In sum, lack of planning can lead to the following consequences:
Lesson planning produces many valuable benefits:
Here are some problems (and potential problems) that
we noticed:
• Aimless
wandering
• Failure to
achieve objectives
• Needed teaching
materials or equipment not available, and
• Poor connection
with preceding or subsequent lessons
If you don't plan your lesson properly you may fall
into several traps:
Your teaching may wander aimlessly
without ever achieving its objective, and you and your students may never
achieve the objectives of the course. Or you may show up to teach and find that
you didn't bring the necessary materials or equipment. What you teach may not
relate to what you taught earlier and it may not lead to what you will teach
later. In sum, lack of planning can lead to the following consequences:
- Poor or reduced learning,
- Frustration (for both the teacher and the students), and
- A waste of time, effort and money
