Lesson Planning
Is key to your students Learning environment. Instructors must know the content inside and out to have a great confidence to pass on to the students.
Students make mistakes and tend to be more apt not to try it a second time with out confidence . So delivery of content and backing it with confidence will take them through there everyday task.
There are several variables that must be taken into account before lesson planning can be accomplished. First, I believe you have to put yourself in their shoes. How would your like to be taught, if you were in your class? Because you have the technical "know how" and the skills to match, does not always mean you can articulate that to a lesson plan or to the student. Practice, practice, practice is the most effective avenue to producing good lesson plans. You should start building your lesson plan from the foundation. Take into account how adults learn and the desire to get the most from these adult students. Then you and their confidence will come in time.
JOSEPH,
Great last sentence. This is what we need to be about as instructors.
