Standard 6:
Instructional Planning
Teacher plan instruction to support students in meeting rigorous learning goals by drawing upon knowledge of content areas, Core Curriculum standards, instructional best practices, and community context.
This curriculum map is a great example of how I go about starting my lesson planning process. This map was created based on where my site teacher was currently at along with what was necessary to cover for the coming quarter. This curriculum map shows that I begin to plan what needs to be covered way in advance. I believe that with history especially the more time you take to plan ahead the more you can be flexible. This is because of the nature of historical teaching. The more you know, the more you can apply and adapt it to your students needs and strengths.
