4. Why do I need to create lesson plans?

Lesson plans help the teacher focus on the goals and objectives of the lesson and to formulate a well thought out plan on how to accomplish them. A well prepared teacher will be more likely to accomplish the objectives of a lesson. It also makes you think about why you are teaching in a certain way, how you can incorporate different strategies for different learners, and how you will assess the students' learning.
