Long and Short Term Planning

Planning is very important in order to organize the thoughts for your students. There is more than one type of planning. There are the short term planning and the long term one. Both are important for implementing our lessons in our classes. The long term one is as much important as the short term one. The short term one is important for each session and each lesson where you identify your objectives. However the long term one is important for identifying the skills and concepts that a student should know after duration of time. This is really important for the emphasis of teaching for understanding not coverage. No matter what we plan, we should be aware not to be rigid to our plan. The thoughts and ideas shared in class should be taken in to consideration in order to edit it to match our students needs.
