Daily plans are organized as a comprehensive summary of the teaching day – with appropriate detail that would allow an occasional teacher to be able to independently implement the daily plan.
The decision to use daily plans instead of formal lesson plans will be determined in consultation with the MT who will assess the TC's readiness to develop daily plans. If the MT and Practicum Facilitator determine that the TC has a good understanding of lesson planning, then the TC can begin to develop daily plans. Formal lessons plans can continue to be developed for critical lessons that address major understandings or introduce new concepts or focus on new subject areas.
During the teaching block, daily plans will be used by all TCs who develop comprehensive block plans. As noted above formal lesson plans will also be developed for critical lessons during the block.
