5 6 7
It’s as important to plan for what students will be doing during each phase of a lesson as it is to plan for what you will be doing and saying.
Teacher
Too often, planning only focusing on what the teacher is doing and fails to account for what
the student does. Thinking and planning for what students will do allows you to see your
lesson through their eyes and keeps them productively engaged. Use a T-Chart with “You”
on one side and “Them” on the other
Student
What students will do during the lesson? Taking notes? Writing Summaries?

your teaching); engage when you circulate (work the room, don’t just stand there); move to the teacher as well no matter where they sit in their classroom
systematically (universally and impersonally but unpredictably); and position for power (face Has a full sense that this is the teacher’s room
