When it comes to a key part of a teacher's day, lesson plans are a vital part. Lesson plans are used to ensure the material needed to learn is provided to the students. Lesson plans give teachers a guideline for the topic for the day or however long the topic will take to teach. If teaching a class we multiple classes in a day, such as high school, lesson plans ensure the same material is taught all day. Lesson plans are not just important to the teacher, but also to the students. When a teacher is well prepared and has things in order, this can show the teacher cares about both their job and student. Also, students can learn the importances of having things in line and being able to manage stuff.
Just like other jobs, lesson plans give set a base in which to act upon. Something similar to lesson plans, would be general orders or operating procedures for police officers. General orders and operating procedures tell police officers the correct ways to act upon certain things and how to handle certain situations. These general orders and operating procedures are a vital part of the daily life of a police officer, just like lesson plans are for teachers.
Clint,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog! I love how you used police officer's general orders and operating procedures to compare with lesson plans. Lesson plans are very important to teachers so they can keep order and know what to adjust for those students who are having issues. Great post!

I agree, comparing lesson plans to another job is helpful because it shows that teaching is not the only profession that has certain guidelines to follow. I also agree that it does show the students that you care and the correct way to behave and be on top of things. As teachers we set examples for our students everyday and being prepared and thinking ahead are great examples to teach!
ReplyDeleteGreat analogy! We need the plans in order to take advantage of the time we have.
