After rereading module two, I was again surprised that some students may be less than impress with doing a unit plan as assessment, due to it no longer being require due to C2C.
While I agree that C2C is used in a wide range of Queensland schools, it does make me wonder, if you are not practising your planning of units and lessons and relying heavily on prepared materials, how are you planning on applying your differentiation? And are you only going to work in a Education Queensland school for the rest of your career?
I feel like these students are limiting not only there horizons, but also that of the students in their classrooms. What if the activities are no longer relevant? What if that curriculum changes, therefore making the previous C2C invalid?
Don’t get me wrong, I have used prepared lesson plans before, however these were always used as a guide. I then had to make adjustments to lesson and activities based on students learning, abilities and what I wanted them to achieve.
Living in a world were technology is rapidly changing the way we teach and learn, wouldn’t now be the time to ensure we can make these documents to enable us to apply new elements in our lessons year after year?
I personally enjoy my making and creating my lesson and unit plans, and it genuinely makes me excited to teach my students this new skill or knowledge – even if my students are hypothetical at this stage.
I would love to know how everyone else feels about these planning documents?
