Alternative lesson planning models

Before we continue, let us take a moment to look at what the rest of the course holds in store. Next up, in Part 2, we look at how lesson planning models can influence teaching and learning. This will help you to critically reflect on your own practice, as it currently stands. In Parts 3 and 4 we explore our first alternative lesson planning model: SOLO Taxonomy. First, we’ll cover the basics, then we’ll move onto next steps. The same approach is utilised in Parts 5 and 6, where we start off by looking at the basics of Philosophy for Children, before going on to examine this lesson planning model in more depth. After that, in Parts 7 and 8, we do the same with Mantle of the Expert, this being our third and final alternative lesson planning model. To conclude the course, in Part 9, we take some time to reflect on all three of the different models we’ve explored, before linking these to our existing classroom practice.

The program is particularly suited to school leaders, heads of department and teachers.
