I'm sure that lots of teachers looked at my list of plans and said: "what about lesson plans?". Well, the fact is that the stuff we teachers call lesson planning is so broadly-focused that it doesn't really qualify as proper planning at all. It is a holistic activity which we carry out in preparing to teach. It involves not only what the teacher is going
to do, but also the individual needs
of each specific class, the teacher's own experience and development, as well as the strategies,
policies and initiatives of the school.
This is fine,
but there are two big problems: firstly, it all takes too long to do properly,
and secondly there are far too many other things to do in the short time
allowed for planning and preparation.
