TEACHING AS A PLANNED ACTIVITY


A key aspect of effective teaching is having a plan for what

will happen in the classroom each day. Teaching and


learning should be well planned with clear objectives that
are understood by learners.
The approaches to teaching and learning should engage all
learners, encouraging them to be active partners in the
process.
The activities should be relevant to the needs of learners and
to the programme they are following.
Creating such a plan involves setting realistic goals,
deciding how to incorporate course textbooks and other
required materials, and developing activities that will
promote learning

This means that teaching learning sessions should:


meet individual learning needs;
contain activities that motivate and engage all
learners, whatever their age, ability and cultural
background;
make clear links between schemes of work and
individual session plans; and
A teacher who is prepared is well on his/her way to a
successful instructional experience

PURPOSE OF PLANNING
The purposes of planning include:
clarification of the objectives to the pupils,
provision for individual differences,
development of means for stimulating interest,
provision for a logical instructional sequence,
provision for flexibility, and
enabling the teacher to teach with confidence.

how we teach is as important as what we


teach.

STEPS OF PLANNING
Effective planning is the basis of successful teaching.
Planning begins with the goals of a particular teachinglearning situation;
encompasses means of attaining those goals, including
materials and activities;
and terminates with effective procedures for evaluating the
degree to which the instructional goals have been achieved.

Good planning has the potential to build confidence,

and make a teacher feel more secure in lesson


execution .

TYPES OF PLANNING
Basic types of planning include:
Long-range plans for the year or semester
Plans of units of work relating to the larger plan

and
Plans for each day's work -- all contributing to the
accomplishment of the major objectives of
education.

Elements of planning
statement of objectives, which clearly shows what

is to be taught and the outcomes to be achieved,


expressed in terms of pupil learning;
statement of activities, a logical step-by-step
sequence of instruction, necessary transition, and
an appropriately developed ending;
list of materials to be used;
assessment, including at least two types of
assessment: assessment of pupil learning, and
assessment of the teaching procedures.

ELEMENTS OF PLANNING
Title of the lesson
Time required to complete

the lesson
List of required materials
List of objectives, which
may be behavioral
objectives (what the student
can do at lesson completion)
or knowledge objectives
(what the student knows at
lesson completion)

The set (or lead-in, or

bridge-in) that focuses


students on the lesson's
skills or conceptsthese
include showing pictures
or models, asking leading
questions, or reviewing
previous lessons

An instructional component

that describes the sequence of


events that make up the lesson,
including the teacher's
instructional input and guided
practice the students use to try
new skills or work with new
ideas

A summary, where the

teacher wraps up the


discussion and answers
questions

An evaluation component, a test

for mastery of the instructed


skills or conceptssuch as a set
of questions to answer or a set
of instructions to follow
Analysis component the teacher
uses to reflect on the lesson
itself such as what worked,
what needs improving
A continuity component reviews
and reflects on content from the
previous lesson

ASSUMPTIONS OF TEACHING

No natural born teachers ( but most are excellent


communicators, people-orientated, out-going)
Classroom competency (mastery) occurs over time
(Teaching must never be in a state of stagnation)

Assumptions

5.
6.

Unique and innovative methods and ideas in education


are rare (We learn from each other)
Encouraging your students to sharpen or develop
critical thinking skills is essential. (Society and industry
expect it)
Student academic achievement is reflective of the
teachers abilities (one measure)
You will experience the highest of highs; lowest of lows
( Classroom experience is a tide of expectations and
outcomes)

Assumptions
Assessments should measure learning not a
system for assigning grades (grading a side
benefit-Classroom Research)
8. Take risks in classroom with an eye to learning
(We cant become complacent)
9. Learning is cumulative (Lets work together to
develop the educated person)
10. Seat time does not guarantee learning (alternative
activities may be more valuable)
7.

Teaching is :
Art

and science

Cumulative and ongoing


Never without setbacks and
disappointments
Rewarding and life-changing
Hard work
