Meet the teacherTips for faster planning
Tips for faster planning- Start with the objective. Write what students will be able to do, then plan backwards from how you will check it.
- Plan the week first. Sketch Monday to Friday on the weekly plan, then fill a daily plan only for the lessons that need detail.
- Time every step. Minutes next to each part show at a glance whether the lesson fits the period.
- Keep a sub plan ready. Fill in the substitute plan once at the start of the year and update it each term.
