Plan for Next Year: Organize the Year, Topics, and Daily Lessons
The online article titled Plan for Next Year: Organize the Year, Topics, and Daily Lessons provides examples, ideas, and motivation for teachers as they begin to plan out the daily routines, monthly themes, and yearly goals. The author suggested that teachers complete three plans (maps) for the year: a year-long plan, topic outlines, and daily plans. The year-long plan will assist teachers as they make sure that all the necessary material and curriculum is properly presented, taught, and understood by the students. The topic outlines take the year-long plan and divides it into units that will be completed every few weeks. The author views the daily plans as the "backbone" of the classroom. The daily plans provide detailed lesson plans, questions for students, and classroom procedures. All three are needed to have a successful, organized classroom.

I think that it is also important to make sure that all three of these plans are flexible. Each year we get a different, unique group of students that are different than the previous year. They might end up needing more time in a particular unit. Also, these plans need to be flexible due to unforseen school closures due to weather or last-minute field trips.
ReplyDeleteSpoken like an experienced teacher! I fully agree.
DeleteHelpful ideas for school yearly planning . I also agree with Rachel about being flexible throughout the year as unexpected things can come up.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this article. I like planning, and I think that the students greatly benefit from a well prepared teacher.
