Writing a lesson plan for one lecture out of an entire term
Geez Louis! I am a fairly new adjunct clinical instructor who also helps with various lecture classes. I have been working on one lecture for a class period and it has almost overloaded my brain. Hats off to the a,axing teachers that have lecture style classes on a daily and weeklY basis. I am LEarning more and more I am a hands on learner and definitely feel my best suit in teaching is in the clinical setting. Very thankful that the clinic is where I am able to implement all of the "knowledge" students are learning through their lecture style courses. I am also able to help students, who are also hands on learners, to process through the information received in class and apply to the clinical setting.
Bethany,
Good luck with all your teaching efforts. As you gain more experience as an instructor and learn how you can get your students involved in the learning process you will see that you will get much more efficient at putting together lesson plans and lectures. As you are learning there a learning curve on putting together lessons and activities that will engage students.
