Advantage of having a prepared lesson plan.
An honestly well-prepared lesson plan is definitely a good guide in teaching and most likely you don't get lost. You become spontaneous in teaching and you lessened the clearing of your throat when you move on.Students will consistently trust on your expertise and would really be thankful to be a part of your class.This is also a good motivation, making them feel that what they started is heading towards the right direction.I'm pretty sure this will also end up with good retention.They will be proud with their alma mater as well.
Tiffani,
I don't know how an educator would succeed without a well prepared and organized lesson plan. We the learning leaders have to know where we are going so we can help our students move that direction. Otherwise no body has any idea of where that class session is heading including unfortunately the instructor.

I agree. As a new instructor, I strongly feel that a well prepared and organized lesson plan is essential, and will help me remain confident.
Desiree,
Good advice to share with new instructors because this will be helpful to them as they establish their own approach to the classroom.

I agree that as instructors we definitely need to have a well-prepared lesson plan. There have been times when I don't have a "plan" and it translates to my students I'm unprepared, perhaps even that I don't care. That is exactly what I don't want! Taking the time to prepare your lessons is of the utmost importance.
Aaron,
Can you expand on this?
