7. Lesson Planning
A lesson plan is a guide and a guide only. A well-designed lesson plan is flexible, subject to change, and reflective of the individual needs of each and every student in the classroom. A good lesson plan provides an outline for the accomplishment of specific tasks, while at the same time allowing for a measure of flexibility in terms of student interests and needs. You need to demonstrate to any interviewer your familiarity with lesson design as well how you are able to tailor lessons to the specific instructional needs of your students. Be prepared to be detailed and specific as well as flexible and accommodating.
Please relate the process you go through when planning a typical lesson. Please share some ways in which you have assessed students. What are the essential components of an effective lesson? Think of a recent lesson you taught and share the steps that you incorporated to deliver the lesson. Share your process of short and long-term planning for delivering effective instruction. Think of a lesson that was ineffective or did not meet your expectations – what adaptations did you make to address the lesson? How do you infuse technology to enhance your instruction? It’s critical that you provide an interviewer with insight into your lesson planning, lesson delivery, and lesson assessment. Anecdotes and examples must be critical elements of your responses.
