The Lesson Planning Handbook: Essential Strategies That Inspire Student Thinking And Learning

Great teachers often make teaching look almost effortless but, inevitably, if you look closer, you’ll discover their ""perfect lessons"" are the result of thoughtful planning and strategic organization. Peter Brunn draws from his own teaching experience as well as years of classroom research with hundreds of teachers across the country to bring you the steps, strategies, and structures successful teachers use to organize and manage their lessons so that you, too, can experience success with every lesson you teach. Even if you are using a program or mandated curriculum, there are ways to weave in Brunn’s findings about effective teaching. Learn how to address the standards while crafting lessons that ignite student thinking, foster student engagement and independent learning, and, in all ways, create a classroom environment that promotes academic success. For use with Grades K–6.

.This short book is one that I have re-read several times. "The Lesson Planning Handbook" is one of my two top picks for educators of all levels.*"The Lesson Planning Handbook" steers the Instructor toward focusing on the purpose for, and the desired outcome of, each lesson. The end goal must be student comprehension and retention of the material presented. Brunn offers practical advice for getting there.More than just a guide to lesson-planning, this book offers a theory of education that makes intuitive sense. Solid lesson plans and successful classroom management plans fit together like Lego-blocks."The Lesson Planning Handbook" is an excellent resource for teachers and managers of all kinds.Intentional teaching has great strength, and even magic, in it.Kim BurdickStanton, Delaware* (My other favorite book for educators is Doug Lemov's "Teach Like A Champion.")

Purchased 3 for kindergarten teachers at my daughters school as gifts for underpaid teachers. 5 teachers were sharing one copy the school provided. They use in their lesson plans weekly. they are happy with the books.

Great ideas for lessons when a teacher's brain runs dry. Sometimes the creative juices needed to write great lesson plans just aren't there when you need them.

This is a very useful book and the information is given in a very concise fashion. Gives realistic classroom strategies, if you're in school for education, are a newer teacher, or trying to renovate your lessons this is a helpful book.

It is a very useful book, full of hints and clear ideas to work.I highly recommend the book to teachers.
