get there, and when they will arrive.

request.
4000-3 Procedure for Lesson Plans
3.
Procedure:
- 3.1. Overall yearly plan: Provides an overview of the course
in harmony with the District Core Curriculum Planned Course
Statement. It indicates the units to be taught and the time
devoted.
-
- 3.2. The daily lesson plan: A written account of what a
teacher would like to have happen during a certain lesson or class
period. It should contain the concept or objective, the time
block, the procedure and the instructional materials needed.
-
- 3.3. Substitute teacher plan: Lesson plans for substitute
teachers should be carefully planned and written in detail.
Detailed plans give the substitute teacher a feeling of confidence
and security. The lesson plans should be placed on the teacher's
desk in plain view.
-
- 3.4. Each teacher should use the written plan that is most
practical and usable for him/her. Lesson plans may be written in a
lesson plan book, notebook, log, journal, etc.
-
- 3.5. The degree to which a teacher needs to engage in detailed
lesson planning will depend upon the teacher's knowledge of the
subject matter and the familiarity with course objectives. The
first year teacher must realize that as a general rule, it will be
necessary to plan in considerable more detail than the teacher
with more experience and training.
-
- 3.6. Teachers should feel free to chart their own course
(following the Core Curriculum). The plan should be practical and
usable, be economical in terms of teacher time, and strengthen the
educational program.
