    Lesson planning has several benefits: First, it produces more unified lessons by allowing teachers to deliberately plan objectives, activities, sequencing, materials, timing, and grouping. It also helps teachers reflect on links between activities and lessons. This makes the lesson more meaningful for learners. Additionally, lesson planning allows teachers to evaluate their own knowledge of content and address any gaps. A teacher with a plan is more confident and the lesson will flow more smoothly. Lesson planning can also help identify students struggling academically and help adapt teaching to meet student needs. Lesson plans can be reused in the future, saving time, and provide documentation for administrators and evaluation purposes.

    WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO PLAN A LESSON?


    There are a number of benefits to writing a lesson plan. First, lesson planning produces
    more unified lessons (Jensen, 2001). It gives teachers the opportunity to think deliberately
    about their choice of lesson objectives, the types of activities that will meet these objectives,
    the sequence of those activities, the materials needed, how long each activity might take,
    and how students should be grouped.
    Teachers can reflect on the links between one activity and the next, the relationship between
    the current lesson and any past or future lessons, and the correlation between learning
    activities and assessment practices. Because the teacher has considered these connections
    and can now make the connections explicit to learners, the lesson will be more meaningful
    to them.
    The lesson planning process allows teachers to evaluate their own knowledge with regards
    to the content to be taught (Reed & Michaud, 2010). If a teacher has to teach, for example, a
    complex grammatical structure and is not sure of the rules, the teacher would become aware
    of this during lesson planning and can take steps to acquire the necessary information.
    Similarly, if a teacher is not sure how to pronounce a new vocabulary word, this can be
    remedied during the lesson planning process.
    A teacher with a plan, then, is a more confident teacher (Jensen, 2001). The teacher is clear
    on what needs to be done, how, and when. The lesson will tend to flow more smoothly
    because all the information has been gathered and the details have been decided upon
    beforehand.
    The teacher’s confidence will inspire more respect from the learners, thereby reducing
    discipline problems and helping the learners to feel more relaxed and open to learning.
    A lesson plan helps teachers to find out academically struggling students and to give
    assistance to them to improve their learning skills. This way teachers have a better
    understanding of their students and can adapt their teaching styles to meet the requirements
    of every students.
    Some teachers feel that lesson planning takes too much time. Yet lesson plans can be used
    again, in whole or in part, in other lessons months or years in the future (Jensen, 2001).
    Many teachers keep files of previous lessons they have taught, which they then draw on to
    facilitate planning for their current classes. In other words, lesson planning now can save
    time later.
    Lesson plans can be useful for other people as well (Jensen, 2001).
    Substitute teachers face the challenge of teaching another teacher’s class and appreciate
    receiving a detailed lesson plan to follow. Knowing that the substitute is following the plan
    also gives the regular classroom teacher confidence that the class time is being used
    productively
    In addition, lesson plans can also document for administrators the instruction that is
    occurring. If a supervisor wants to know what was done in class two weeks ago, the teacher
    only has to refer to that day’s lesson plan.
    Finally, lesson plans can serve as evidence of a teacher’s professional performance.
    Teachers are sometimes asked to include lesson plans, along with other materials, as part of
    a portfolio to support their annual performance evaluation. Teachers applying for new jobs
    might be asked to submit lesson plans as part of their job application so that employers can
    get a sense of their organizational skills and teaching style.
