Teaching Tips!
Don’t be afraid to adapt and adjust the lesson plan to fit the learning needs of the children in your classroom. Good lesson plans are flexible enough that teachers don’t feel constricted to follow the plan word by word. Recognize if something isn’t working for your classroom and change it accordingly. Most importantly, remind yourself that is completely fine to seek advice and exchange opinions with other teachers.
