 Next week’s Lesson Plans…What?!?! Workshop is all about lesson planning ! Thrilling
and exciting, I know. BUT lesson planning is a pivotal part of teaching.
 What you will need:
 BRING YOUR COMPUTER/LAPTOP. You will not be able to do this workshop on your smarty
phone or tablet. If you don’t have a laptop, then you will utilize one of the desktops in the
lab.
 Bring any materials you think you might need in order to plan a lesson
 I have examples to show you, one is from my class, one from Monica, and one from
an instructor in Meadville. Each of us has done this a little differently, but the format is
the same.
 We are all required by ACCSC to have lesson plans as this is a standard requirement
for all programs of study.
