Editor's Notes
Welcome- Introduction- Education Committee- Yogeshbhai - WARM UP- - DO NOT COPY from PPT you will get full copy with handouts at end. Teacher’s request -motivation and discipline Best way is by good LP and CR management We’ll start by LP Seminar’s AIM is……. To S2
… Read of PPT Give very brief explanation . ...Slide 3
You might think if I teach about Diwali than surely Learner will learn about Diwali. That is partly correct, but once they know about Diwali what will they be able to do? For class 3 it might be that they will be able to say 5 sentenaces about Diwali. For year 7 it might be that they will be able write 100 word essay describing how diwali is celebrated. SEE THE DIFFERENCE!! Ask for examples. AIM is very general about what you want to teach but objective must be very specific about what students will be able to do as a result of teaching. Also in the lesson you should be able to test them to check if the objectives have been met. IT SHOULD BE LINKED TO ASSESSMENT. If you think of sentence beginning “Learner will be able to……” you will get it correct as long as you put a measurable specific ending to it. Can have 2 to 3 objectives. … .S12

Read thorough Lesson plan and go over BRIEFLY on each point. First two boxes you will write what you wish to teach Back in Method you write how, ie what activities you will do, to teach In resource what material you will need. Assessment how you will teast them Evaluation is for you to judge yourself and Contingency is if your preparation if things don’t go as planned. We will start with What is an AIM … ..S10

There are two types of acitivities which are needed for learning to take place in a classroom. It is important to think about your Assistant’s activities during Lesson Planning and not when you are in the classroom. Some teachers like assistant - to take over the class for one or two activities while they help weaker children -to help few weaker children all through the lesson, -to help all students one by one with reading ask for suggestions flip chart. You must prepare work so that it takes into account different abilities. If weak students find work hard they can lose interest and start misbehaving or if strong students finish early they can start talking and can result in discipline problem. Again we will see how to prepare different type of work after the break. Lets look at how lesson should progress … .S15

This is where you teach the new material for the lesson. In the Lesson Plan you must write down details all the activities you / your assistant are going to do. Must be varied and student centred. Teacher should not talk for more than 10 minutes in any one activity. I will talk more about student centred activities after the break. Once you have written all the activities to teach you should also write how you will reinforce the knowledge by practice. … .S17
Practice is just that. It is not test and students should be encouraged to ask questions if they have not understood. No new material to be introduced. If you find some of questions need new material to be taught than make a note and use it in future lesson plan. Finally in the same lesson period you have to find out if the students have learned as per your objective. …… S18
Your Lesson Plan has a separate box for Assessment. Here you will write down how you will asses them. You have to think about it when you are preparing the lesson plan and not at the end of lesson. Assessment should be directly linked to the Objective. Example If objective was for students to be able to say 5 sentences about Diwali than the assessment must check that. Next we come to homework … .S19
Just like assessment you must think about what homework you are going to set when you are preparing your lesson plan. Most of time it will be written work to reinforce what you have taught but it does not have to be. By giving variety of different type of homework you will keep students motivated. It can be drawing picture, or a map, reading a book, doing research on a subject that you plan to teach in the following week. If enough students live near each other it can be a group activity. Clever teachers might be able to link the subject they are teaching to variety show and base home work on that. Now we come to the part where you look inside yourself. …… ..S20
Once the lesson is over you should see how it went. It is very rare for a lesson to go as planned. Last box in your Lesson plan is Contengency …… .S21
You should be prepared if things don’t go as planned. Good examples are a spare work sheet on the topic. Or a relevant story that you can tell and ask questions Or Use spare work sheet from previous lesson to reinforce knowledge from old topic. With good preparation you can turn that dramatic disaster into a very happy accident. That is all the details and how you should fill it in the Lesson Plan form but before you can do that you must have a scheme of work Pass template of scheme of work to everyone. … .S22
Before we end the presentation on Lesson Plan just a quick recap … ..S23
