Workshop Description:

Don’t leave it to chance - always have a Plan A! Given our rigid curriculum and short class sessions, it is essential to make every minute count with a clearly structured, goal-oriented lesson plan. In this workshop we will discuss different models for organizing course materials into comprehensive, learning-centered plans. Join us and find out which lesson plan format may work best for you and your students, and most adequately reflects your teaching style. Keep in mind that a lesson plan, if thoughtfully constructed, presents powerful evidence of your teaching effectiveness and together with other components of your teaching portfolio, highlights your academic potential.
