ABSTRACT

This practical guide will help you to plan evidence-informed, innovative lessons that can be adapted to meet your individual student’s needs.

Modelled on a typical lesson plan, the book covers all aspects of planning such as learning aims, starting a lesson, resources and activities, embedding skills, and assessment. Each chapter features a wide range of activities and strategies that can be used every day and easily adapted for different learners. The chapters also explore what to do when lessons don’t go to plan and how to use technology effectively to support learning. Throughout there are nuggets of useful theory to help you reflect not only on what works in the classroom but why.

Written by an expert author team and linked to the early career framework, this is essential reading for all trainee and early career teachers across a wide range of educational settings.
