Download or read book Lesson Planning for Effective Learning written by Martin Fautley and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lesson planning is the essential component of every teacher's practice and the development of a teacher's skill is built explicitly on a rigorous approach to planning. This goes beyond just written plans and includes a process of mental preparation, anticipation, rehearsal and performance - all essential elements of the craft of teaching. This book offers heaps of useful advice and key ideas related to planning an effective lesson. With clear links between the preparation of writing a lesson plan, and the delivery of that lesson plan through your teaching, this book explores: Common components of lesson planning including learning objectives, learning outcomes, starters, teaching activities and plenaries The lesson plan document: what it can and can’t do Teaching ‘style’ and your role in bringing lesson plans to life within your classroom Common pitfalls, including time management, over- and under-running, optimum learning time, and activity sequencing Broader strategies such as differentiation, personalisation and assessment Sample lesson planning documents from real teachers Whatever age of pupils you are teaching, or whatever subject you are teaching, this book helps you develop a clear and concise approach to lesson planning that is an essential and integral part of becoming an effective teacher. "This is essential reading for all teachers, teacher educators and policy makers. For new entrants to the profession, it offers the opportunity to think beyond the notion of folk pedagogies and to consider how a more powerful theoretical framework might underpin lesson planning. It presents essential analysis as to why common approaches to teaching and learning have emerged and become embedded – this provides a great opportunity for more experienced teachers to develop a deeper critical understanding of their practice. Punctuated with reflective questions, it enables the reader to reconceptualise planning and pedagogy and to engage in theorised reflection on practice." Kate Laurence, Institute of Education, University of London, UK "At last! A plain speaking book on effective lesson planning.Lesson Planning for Effective Learning by Martin Fautley and Jonathan Savage combines theoretical perspectives with really useful, instantly useable examples from everyday practice. Despite the scholarly approach, the 200 pages of this little book retain an essentially conversational quality ensuring that it is equally accessible to students, academics and learning enthusiasts alike." Andrew R. Mackereth, Headteacher, Heart of England School "Lesson planning is one of the most fundamental duties of teachers no matter what their subject, age phase or experience. In their latest book, Martin Fautley and Jonathan Savage start with practice and, in deconstructing what teachers do every day, apply their deep thinking and reasoned consideration. They are adept at weaving a wide range of thoughts, experiences and theory into the mix, making this readily accessible and ultimately a very helpful book.Martin and Jonathan make much of the novice-expert continuum. I'm not sure where I fit but I certainly experienced a number of ‘penny-dropping’ moments that immediately led me to reflect and sharpen up my own planning. I've been reminded of the huge complexities that there are in planning effective lessons, both the "private preparation and the public performance" elements. It is impossible to read very far into this book without realising that planning for effective learning has little to do with the administrative task of completing a planning pro forma, important and necessary though that is. This book makes it abundantly clear that pedagogy and pedagogical content knowledge underpin planning for effective learning. Although, as the authors point out, much lesson planning is invisible, what they do so well here, in the words of Russell and Loughran*, is to “make the tacit explicit”. Above all, this book articulates something of what it is to be professional for teachers of all types. I heartily recommend this book." Simon Spencer, Birmingham City University, UK * Russell, T. & Loughran, J. (2007) Enacting a Pedagogy of Teacher Education: Values, Relationships and Practices, London: Routledge "This book gives fantastic insight and practical strategies for teachers at all points within their career in order to encourage and embed reflective practice. For outstanding practitioners and senior leaders, it provides case studies and examples which will stimulate discussion and provide starting points from which to develop policy at whole school level, and influence and develop practice at an individual teacher level. A ‘must have’ resource for any school Teaching and Learning Group library." Hayley McDonagh, Senior Leader, Golden Hillock School, Birmingham.

Download or read book Understanding by Design written by Grant P. Wiggins and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2005 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike.

Download or read book Lesson Plans for Teaching Writing written by Chris Jennings Dixon and published by National Council of Teachers of English (Ncte). This book was released on 2007 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do students often graduate from high school unprepared for college writing? And what can we do about it? These are the questions that a group of classroom teachers set out to explore. Over the course of seven years, a group of middle, high school, college, and university teachers participated in a federally funded writing coalition project to implement innovative approaches to teaching writing. Together they developed this series of lesson plans designed to make writing both fun and an integral part of diverse curricula. "Practical" is the recurrent motif of each teaching strategy. Developed by real teachers in real classrooms, the lessons are grouped into seven categories: writing process, portfolios, literature, research, grammar, writing on demand, and media. Each lesson follows a standard format that includes purpose of the activity; necessary preparation; required props and materials; process and procedure for implementation; instructional pointers and/or possible pitfalls; and reflections from the teacher that provide "behind the scenes" insights.
