Houghton mifflin long term lesson plans?

Question

Hi:

I need an example of a long term lesson plan. I am beginning as a teacher, and they have asked me to do long term lesson plans... Quarterly. How can I do this? Thanks

Answer 1

When you say "they," do you mean your principal? Or are you in college and a professor wants you to do quarterly plans for a certain subject?

If you are doing this assignment for your principal, you can check the teacher's edition of textbooks you will be using. A lot of the textbooks will have plans for the entire school year mapped out as a perk to get districts to buy the series.

If this assignment is for a college class, then you could check the department of education website for your state. There, you should find a listing of all the standards for teaching each subject. Then you will need to design a plan for teaching those standards including a time frame for each concept. If you get to choose the subject to make these plans, DO NOT choose the ELA standards. Choose math...much simpler since the standards build on each other.

If your assignment is for college...that sucks...lol. I can remember having to do this and never learning anything from it. Some districts (including mine) have set curriculums that pretty much have already mapped out how the subjects are going to be taught...which of course makes writing long range plans (or long term lesson plans) easier.

Good luck and welcome to teaching!

Answer 2

You are unlikely to use all of these, however, I'm sure you'll find some of them very useful as you begin your career.  Good luck.
