My student teacher's lesson plans are poorly constructed. This week she didn't even have a lesson plan even though I've mentioned she needs to be more thorough in her lesson plans. I'm not quite sure how I should proceed. I'd appreciate your help.
I suggest you meet individually with your student teacher. Identify that it's unacceptable to not have a formal written lesson plan for observations. Set a goal that she needs to electronically submit lesson plans to you 24 hours prior to your subsequent observations. Finally, I suggest you review elements of a lesson plan.
Jane Taylor Wilson, Ph.D., serves as Multiple Subject Site Coordinator and Assistant Professor at APU’s Ventura Regional Center. After teaching in elementary and junior high public schools, Wilson served as an educational consultant in the area of leadership training for high school student leaders and faculty advisors. In this role Wilson spoke at workshops, conferences, and school assemblies in 26 states and Canada. After obtaining her Ph.D. in Educational Psychology, Wilson began teaching courses for aspiring teachers and for teachers seeking a Masters degree. In her current role, Wilson teaches and mentors student teachers, helps train APU mentors, and promotes APU in the Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. Much of Wilson’s research and practice has included developing strategies and situations to enhance student’s intrinsic motivation to learn.
