Lesson Plans

• Using a Prepared Curriculum

A Prepared Text or Curriculum can save an
Instructor/Teacher a lot of time. The
Instructor/Teacher must know what is in the text
or curriculum and plan the lessons from the
text/curriculum. The Instructor plans what
will be presented and how much time will be
spent on the lesson. Rehearse the Lesson and
Presentation

Lesson Plans

  planning a lesson and preparing to present the
  lesson.
• The structured lesson plan that is presented in a
  good time frame will maintain Student focus and
  interest.
