It’s always been important for teachers to be organised and thoroughly prepared for their lessons, but with more students per class, larger schools and stricter requirements from Ofsted, it’s more important today than ever before. Having a lesson plan, whether it be via an app on your tablet or an excel spreadsheet will save you and keep you organised going forward. With a lesson plan you can include reminder notes so you know where to pick up next week, whilst you can plan out the stages you’d like to run though before half term. You can break the subject down as you wish, but as long as you maintain and update your lesson plan, you can keep organised and on top of your students. We recommend you update this after every lesson, but of course you may have multiple periods meaning you’ll need to update the document or app at break time or lunchtime.
