We have some tried and tested lesson plans for those of you who work with early learners. Try them out … please leave comments for other users and do send in some of your own lesson plans.
Lesson Plans
We believe that teachers should develop their own lesson plans based on the interests of children in their class. However, there are days (and we all have them) when we need help with ideas on what to do on a Monday morning! The ideas below will hopefully help spark an idea. You can add your own by downloading this template and following instructions. For a sample, you can have a look at the ECE Lesson Plans below, and you will see what we mean. The submitted Lesson Plans will be visible on the site after being approved by the TRC. Each lesson plan will also allow others to share their classroom experiences and/or modifications that helped them use it in ways other than originally envisaged or suggested by the contributor. These could include a change of subject or grade level, but must be sufficiently different to warrant inclusion. Feel at liberty to interact with more experienced peers by asking for advice on matters related to the plans. Note: The first set of Lesson Plans posted have been brought in from the original website and may not fully conform to the new template. All new submissions, however, are requested to do so.
Lesson Plans from PECHS Girls’ School
Teachers from PECHS Girls’ School have sent in some lesson plans that they tried out in class. These are all at the primary level. Please try them out too, and leave your comments on our site.
Lesson Plan Ideas on the Web
In addition to your own lesson plans (and we anxiously await them) there are many websites which can be used as a springboard for new ideas.
Among the more unique Lesson Plans are those that focus on Acts of Kindness.
Teachnology offers thousands of plans, including some very exciting ones for using in the Computing area.
For Math teachers, a site full of plans and links that makes a wonderful, bookmarkable resource is Drexel’s Math Forum.
The Discovery Channel is a great TV resource, as all of you know. It’s website keeps up the high standard as a center for teachers, students, parents. The lesson plan sections are divided by grade levels and subject areas. A look at its Lesson Plans on the Human Body, alone, will give you a flavour of the treasure-house this site is. Of course, you can move off to other subjects from the links on that page.
Old Lesson Plans
All the lesson plans submitted to the original TRC website have been collected in one document which may be downloaded as a PDF file.
