What do you want to be?

To believe in a child is to believe in the future. Through their aspirations they will save the world. With their combined knowledge the turbulent seas of hate and injustice will be calmed. They will supply humanity with music and beauty as it has never known. They will endure. Towards these ends, WE pledge our live's work. WE will supply the children with tools and knowledge to overcome the obstacles. WE will pass on the wisdom of our years and temper it with patience. WE shall impact in each child the desire to fulfill his or her dream. WE, shall teach. - William Ward

3 Learning Points of Critiquing Lesson Plans

1) When we critique lesson plans, we can identify certain formats which different people use in their individual lesson plans. These may or may not be useful in terms of whether or not a certain input makes a lesson plan more wholesome and detailed which we can learn from.

2) Having to critique lesson plans, we learn that we may sometimes be too critical that we critique even the nitty grittiest things. This may be good and bad as we may not be able to live up to our own critiques and maintain the high standards that we had for other people's lesson plans.

3) As student teachers, critiquing lesson plans expose us to the various forms of lesson plans that there are. We can learn from there as we are inexperienced in doing these plans. Being exposed to different types of lesson plans help us identify a good and a bad one and we can learn how to make our own by looking at all the "must have" formats that has to be included into one.

In conclusion, critiquing lesson plans is a way of exposing us to many forms of good and bad lesson plans which we can greatly learn from.
