A teacher must always have a plan, a road map for where students are going on a given day, week, month, and year. The end result is what a teacher must always work towards, and without planning and preparation on the teacher’s part, the classroom and learning environment suffer. A teacher must create plans and set goals on what students should understand and be able to demonstrate by the end of a lesson, unit, and year.
A teacher’s planning must begin from day one and extend to the end of the year. The first method that demonstrates planning is the survey given to students at the beginning of the year. This survey asks questions of students that will help me to better meet the students needs and interests within my classroom, including the access to computers, internet, and learning style inventory.
I have included several pieces of evidence to demonstrate mastery of planning and preparation. The Student Information Survey helps in planning at the beginning of the year to find out basic information about my students, as well as how many students have computer and internet access for future lesson planning. The Speech unit packet with deadlines, as well as the Research Unit deadlines, demonstrate unit planning with short-term and long-term deadlines and goals set for students. The yearly lesson plan demonstrates basic daily planning, as well as long-term yearly planning with an end goal in mind for both teachers and students.
