Lesson Planning

Teacher candidates in the Schulich School of Education are in the early stages of development as educators and well-planned lessons are critical to their success in the practicum. Teacher candidates must demonstrate evidence of thorough planning prior to their lessons. Lesson plans must be completed outside of regular classroom hours and shared with associate teachers in advance so that suggestions for improvement can be made prior to implementation.
