Summary

What’s the most time consuming aspect of teaching? Did you say lesson planning? Most teachers would whole-heartedly agree with that sentiment. As soon as you feel as though you’ve gotten your plans and materials ready, you have another week of hours of research, creating, and assigning assignments to students. What if we told you that your lesson planning routine could be completely revolutionized by giving you back your time and decreasing your stress? Lesson planning is the process of deciding how you will teach a specific skill. This includes the explicit instruction to the independent practice that you will provide to your students. This can be considered the roadmap of learning. Even if you teach kindergarten to high school, each teacher will include some of the same elements that will help their students master the skills. In this episode we want to share the process we have used for years to develop our lesson in less time. In this episode you will hear: The key steps for developing a scaffolded lesson plan. How your assessment should be planned first before the content. Why developing the hook is the most important part of your lesson. Our approach to developing quick and easy differentiation options. Quick tips for making the process easier!

0:00.0	Well, hello there, top teachers. We are your host, Bridget Spackman and Michelle Emerson,
0:05.0	and we are here to make your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and
0:10.2	productivity as a teacher. Lesson planning can either be your favorite time or it can be the thing
0:16.6	that you push off each week. Let's be honest. We've all had the days where we've been winging the
0:21.6	day's lessons. So we can probably all use some helpful tips to make lesson planning more
0:27.5	enjoyable. Today's episodes, we want to share how you can be a lesson planning master in less
0:34.3	time. That sounds good. I mean, the word less is in the word lesson.
0:39.6	Oh, good observation there.
0:43.0	Yeah, you know, I've had a few sips of coffee this morning.
0:45.6	But first, let's hear a TSA from Natalie.
0:49.3	Fun fact, Natalie is what my dad wanted to name me.
0:52.6	Really?
0:53.4	Yep.
0:54.0	And you can see how that turned out.
0:56.8	All right. Natalie says her TSA is looking for new resources without searching through resources
1:02.9	I already have. Sometimes it feels easy to research resources on demand, but I end up getting
1:09.3	overwhelmed and wasting too much time. Always going back to
1:12.9	your files is a better use of time and helps you stay organized rather than assuming you need a new
1:18.0	resource. Yeah, Natalie, I think a lot of teachers would feel the exact same way. I know that I have
1:23.6	definitely been guilty of, you know, not going through the resources that I already have
1:29.0	and trying to recreate the wheel. It adds so much more time onto myself. And I don't know about
1:35.0	anyone else out there, but I have this feeling sometimes that I have to do something new because
