ADD TO TEACHING PLAN WORKSHEET
Now that you have determined your goals and objectives, it is time to create your content outline. This is your teaching Plan for your topic.
The Content Outline, Objectives, and Time Allowed sections must be filled out
You will continue to add to the teaching plan handout in the weeks ahead. Notice there is a section for your teaching strategies and resources/media.
Before you create your handout, you need to consider whether or not your learners will understand your brilliant creation. Have you considered their reading skills? Are there terms that are familiar to you, but not to them?

Once again, you are teaching a 1-hour class on your selected topic and objectives.
Read Chapters 6, 8, and 12. These chapters will help you decide if your audience is ready for the content you are trying to teach them.
