During the year we are reviewing our school planning format. In David Dunn's book he writes about the most important features of planning that are needed to have an outstanding lesson.
He makes it clear that planning doesn't have to be incredibly detailed - just delivered well.
"Your outstanding judgement is based on how well the children have learned, not how many words you have on your detailed lesson plan. I have seen lessons planned on the back of a cigarette packet (well, not literally you understand, but you get the idea) that have been outstanding; and I have seen lessons that have had the planning equivalent to a Tolstoy epic that have barely been satisfactory... It's quality, not quantity, that counts." David Dunn, How to be an Outstanding Primary School Teacher.The most important aspects are:
- Objectives
- Differentiation
- Support/Teaching Assistants
- Assessment
- IEPs/Special Needs/G & T
- Resources
- Questions
- Key information - putting the plan into context.
What key features do you include in your planning?
