Have you ever had someone say, "Wow! Where did you get that lesson?" or maybe "You always have such great ideas, what's your secret?" or maybe even you have said these same things to a fellow teacher with a silent twang of jealousy. Being a teacher, and being an exceptional one, takes a lot of time and intentional planning, but you don't always have to come up with those brilliant lesson plans on your own. Did you know there is a whole network of educators out there that you can get inspiration from, every day? And some of that inspiration is going to turn into the next amazing lesson in your own classroom!
So where can I get these great ideas and how do I get started?
Now you are probably like "That's a great little image, but it's not a lesson plan. I need more than a image to teach from." This image is merely the inspiration for you to craft the perfect lesson for your students with the resources that you have available for your students to access. When you start to see these images from Twitter as the inspiration and starting point, everything changes.
So how do we make this into a lesson?
Next up is to consider how students are going to get from Point A (where they are right here, right now) and Point B (this awesome and amazing final product). To do that we have to fully deconstruct this final product.
masters Finally, the fun can begin. It's time to let the magic happen. But as with all lessons that teacher embark upon we have to anticipate that:
TEACHING IS FAR FROM PERFECT. IT'S MESSY, AND IN THAT MESS IS WHERE YOU'LL CRAFT YOUR TEACHING AND TRULY ENJOY THE JOURNEY
