Hi everyone! Thank you for watching this week's video. Let me know how you really feel about lesson planning. Tough, or easy? It's taken me so long to get to the stage I am at with my lesson planning. I hope my tips will help to support you and your journey. **Giveaway Details: Leave a comment under the video in order to be in with a chance of winning one of three copies of my e-book. I will select the winners on the 14th of Feb and will reply to the comments letting them know they have won.
Good day madam thank you for your channel ,,can you please help me out,,,,, I Am a student,first year,but I real don't have an idea on how to make my lesson plan,,,,,grade 3......Please if you can wats up or email, 0816098658, popinawa@gmail.com....thank you mrs
I remember being at uni and doing these really extensive lesson plans on their pro forma that they expected us to fill out for every lesson.. and when you're teaching 2 or 3 lessons a day on placement, it just became far too much! The lecturers were even saying to us that it shouldn't take us longer than 15 minutes to fill it out but we were all spending at least an hour on each one to make sure everything was covered and that it would meet the criteria for when they were looked at and critiqued.. it just didn't reflect real teaching practice at all
Would it be possible for you to do a tour/how to make video about your bank of resources? I'm currently a 1st Year Primary ed student and this sounds like an amazing idea!!💗
The hard part of lesson planning is there is so many good resources available now it’s sometimes difficult to pick just one or two things you want to use. Great tips in the video, happily subscribed and look forward to watching more.
I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m currently in my nqt year and have felt exactly like this. It takes me hours to plan just one subject for a week 🤦🏼♀️
I love this video! I'm finishing my teaching degree now and it often is taking me so long to write every lesson plan. I do the exact same thing that you described doing in your NQT year. It's so encouraging to hear that it definitely does get easier!
Hey! Great vid. I’ve been volunteering at a primary school for 3 years now (I started when I was 16). I’m off to university this year to do a BA in primary education and it was your videos that really made me want to go for it! Happy future birthday too.
I'm currently applying for a PGCE and your videos have been so helpful in encouraging me to get out there and be brave, as well as helping me to build my confidence and to understand the basics of how classrooms work etc. They're so so helpful! Thank you!!
I will be teaching English in Prague this year and I've never taught anything before and my biggest concern was lesson planning! I feel better having watched this and knowing I will get better! Great tips and well thought out! Thank you!!
Hi Katie! I'm a long time subscriber to For Teachers. I am have first finished my first week of my second year placement on a degree route to QTS. Was just having a coffee before I got started for today (planning a Year 2 lesson on shapes) and this was just what I needed to hear. Whenever I get stressed from planning I always tell myself it will get easier and quicker the more I do it. I must remember to keep everything I plan even if I feel like the lesson was rubbish because I can always edit it and build upon it. Thanks for all you do!
Thanks for sending such specific feedback for this video. I’m beyond happy to hear the content is useful for you! I promise it gets easier (my dad used to tell me it would and I never believed him..) I hope the rest of your weekend is both restful and productive. Thank you for supporting ForTeachers! It means so much! 💕
Hello! Your channel has really helped me decide what I want to do with my life, and I can't thank you enough for that. I'll happily buy your book you deserve the money 😊 Thank you! x
Hi Katie, thanks for the useful video. I'm going to start teaching English soon and for me the idea of "Engage, Study and Activate" from Jeremy Harmer's book on English teaching gives me a useful starting point for structuring lesson plans, at least for teaching English at high school level here in Luxembourg
Thanks Katie! This video has been really helpful. I'm currently in the middle of my PGDE and I am finding the planning side of things so difficult. I'm literally spending hours planning one lesson, its so frustrating! It's good to know it gets easier!
I am new to this teaching major! Anyway, I did my first lesson plan yesterday for only an hours worth of teaching! It has taken me three days and I still haven't gotten it! It took me a moment to figure out the Maryland state department of education standards list. Also, writing a learning objective, outcome and goals while using Bloom's taxonomy correctly! I found out some words are not usable even if they're on the list. Regardless, I enjoyed your video and I thank you for your advice! Keep shining bright light! Amen!
I am a teacher since 4 months ago and my lesson planning skills are improving. My weekle plan took me first 5 hours but now it's for about one hour only
Katie! Hi ☺️ Only until recently have I decided teaching is for me, I had a few set backs and reviewed what I wanted from a career... your videos really helped when I wanted to explore teaching further! I now have a teacher training school direct interview on Monday, fingers crossed 😆❤️ xx
Hello Katie, Your videos have been extremely helpful in many ways. I am going into my first year of further education and am so excited to start my journey into primary education! Your videos has magnified both the good and not so good aspects of being a primary teacher and this has allowed me to gather a raw insight into the job. Keep up the great videos!
Hey, I've just discovered your channel and it's genuinely rather amazing! I'm currently in the deep end of my PGCE at Durham University, and kinda finding it super difficult, haha. Just about to finish my first placement, and set to teach 70% of the timetable this coming week. While I love being in the classroom and being amongst the kids, the lesson planning / paperwork side of things has been really daunting and stressing me out! So this video is fab
Thanks for the feedback. I can remember feeling super swamped during my first placement, especially when the teaching percentage climbs up so quickly. I have a student teacher playlist on this channel - I hope it’ll help you! Feel free to message any time on Instagram @forteachers if you need anything. You’ve got this! :)
This video is so helpful😊. It has helped me so much especially as I am going to start my PGCE this September😊. Guys always remember, that it is perfectly fine to be learning whilst teaching, because its a journey😀!
Happy Birthday for the 14th! Absolutely love your videos. I’m in my first year doing a teaching degree at uni and am already expected to do 50% of teaching time in May for 7 weeks!!!! I don’t know if it’s just nerves but I do not feel ready! X
I know this is an old video but where is your necklace from? It's beautiful! Thank you for the all the tips. I'm currently in my NQT year and this was really helpful. :)
Another useful video, and very reassuring as I sit down on Sunday morning to finish my weekly planning. I've been subscribed since my wobbly teacher trainee year, through NQT and now RQT and your videos continue to be a source of help and inspiration. I know you've touched on the subject before, but as it continues to be relevant would you consider speaking more on managing workload and teacher well-being? With a new OFSTED framework and what feels like the ensuing chaotic rush to meet these goals I find I'm really exhausted at the moment. Thank you again, and I hope you're enjoying your own class! 💛
I absolutely love this comment. I actually put it on my Instagram story (I took your name out incase you didn’t want it sharing) because it made me smile so much to imagine someone watching the videos at various stages of their teaching journey. Thank you so much for the support over the years! I hope the videos will continue to help 🥰🥰
I'm in college right now for elementary education, and these lesson plans are killing me. I'm almost at the point that I want to pursue a different field. I spend hours on each lesson plan to hit all the points they require on the plans and make them "detailed enough for a sub to pick up the plan and teach from it." There's not enough hours in the day for this. I'm glad I found your video and I'm going you are right.
Same. When I started my elementary education degree I would spend 2+ hours on a 30 min lesson. I almost quit too. I just started my certification practicum and have gotten much faster, but it is still brutal meeting these strict requirements. Hang in there, once you are a teacher you will have autonomy and it will be great!
This video is so helpful! I am currently in college to be a primary teacher. I am having to plan my first lesson and this was so helpful thank you so much!
Thank you this is really helpful! I’m midway through my PCGE with schools direct, about to start my second assessed placement... this is so reassuring and makes so much sense looking at it backwards. I like the fact you’re constantly evaluating too. :-)
Thank you for supportive the video! Backwards planning has really changed my perspective on the whole process honestly. It makes it less about me and my lesson and more about the students. Happy the video has been useful for you! Let me know if there is anything else I can make to help out in the future! X
Just a quick hello! I am currently completing my teacher training via school direct so lesson planning is essential I'm already teaching 50% then 80% next term!!!
Hey! Love your videos! I'm graduating in the summer and will be doing my Probation year in Scotland starting in August! Your videos and guide would really help me!xxx
I’m sorry this message is late but I have selected you as a winner for the competition! Please send me your email and I will send you a copy of my e-book :) You can send your email to either : enquireforteachers@gmail.com or to me on Instagram @forteachers - Congratulations! :)
Thanks so much Katie for your lovely video. I am a student teacher in Melbourne and I do completely relate to you about the tough of teaching, but I know I could make it someday in the future . I would love to subscribe your channel and follow all your useful videos and tips.
Hi Katie! This video has been a god-send today! My sister and I were discussing the length of time it takes to lesson plan this week (she’s quite quick at it - doing her teacher training through a degree whereas I take so long - doing my teacher training through a SCITT course). I would love to win your book as I truly think it will help me heading into my final block placement in a couple of months ahead of, hopefully, a job in September!!! Also, I’m not sure if others would like this, but I would love to see your actual process when planning a lesson (kind of like a blog of how you plan a lesson... does this make sense?!). Anyway, I hope you have a fabulous week and, as always, thank you for another fab video 😍
Thanks for the feedback and for making it so specific. I definitely think I can make a vlog style video where I show the process. I’ve tried to record something similar before but I ended up all muddled. I’ll make it a goal for 2020! Hope the SCITT course is the one for you - let me know if you have any questions along the way! 🥳🥳
Hi Katie! Thanks for your great video on lesson planning. I’m due to start my PGCE in September and would love a copy of your guide 👩🏫 Happy Birthday for the 14th 🎂
Just found your channel and I'm obsessed, I'm binge watching all your videos!!! I'm just about to start SBT and I'm soooo nervous and excited! I'm going to be in Y3 and I am so excited to build relationships with the staff and students and hopefully make a difference! What university did you go to and what course did you do? I'm at University of Brighton doing Primary Education with English (QTS)!! This video has made me waaaay less stressed about planning my future sessions, and hopeful for my future! I love the bit where you talk about thinking about the conclusion first! That's sooo helpful and none of my university tutors have mentioned that and that's very true! Thankyou so much :) xxx
Hey! Thank you for the video... I was wondering if I could access your lesson plan resource files anywhere... I feel like this is probably the most efficient way to go about lesson planning during the busy days of the school term. Thank you!
Plato understood the aim of education to teach the learner how to learn. Chomsky states education should foster curiosity in the learner, whilst equipping them to challenge information sources and authority. Potential trainee teacher. A free guide would be nice.. 😄
This was really helpful. Could you please share some ideas on creating a bank of resources? I am curretnly a trainee and find it very difficult when it comes to planning from scratch. Also, please share some ideas on managing the pace during the lesson make learning engaging at the same time.
This is so helpful! Thank you 🙏🏼 I am just about to jump back into my NQT year (I had to leave early due to health reasons) so I need all the help I can get haha!
I would be so grateful to receive one of your e-books as I am looking forward to starting my BA honours in primary teaching with QTS. Also, I love your videos as they inspire me and make me even more exited to get into teaching. 😄
I’ll be sure to message out on the 14th! I also studied BA honours primary ed with QTS. Hope your journey is just as exciting as mine was (and eventful, of course!) Thank you for the feedback. I hope to continue making useful videos 😇 Appreciate the support!

Hey, really useful video! Do you have any example lesson plans that we could look at? I’m currently doing my final block placement at Sheffield Hallam (the same course as you!) and struggling to stick to a lesson planning format as I find that it only works for some lessons
Really helpful video thank you. I was wondering if you knew any teacher's who were dyslexic and if you could get them to make a video with you talking about how they overcome this challenge.
I do know dyslexic teachers. I’m not sure I could persuade them to film (people get very shy about videos) but I can try asking, right? 😇 Great teachers can be dyslexic too for sure!
Hi :) love your videos they have come in so handy in my teaching training years! Im currently half way through my PDGE year and although I do feel a lot more comfortable in the role as class teacher there are still so many things to learn and feel like Ill never learn it all before my probation year starts in August. Therefore would really appreciate if I won one of your ebooks as it would come in so handy and would hopefully take away some stress! Thanks

Thanks so much! I visited Singapore a couple of years back and had an amazing time. Would love to visit again in the future! Appreciate you supporting the channel :)
Thanks for the video lovely. Really put my mind at rest, I've seen on placements teachers who dont plan and teachers who as you said plan reems and reems, it seems I need to find my own niche. Happy birthday for valentine's day it's also my husbands birthday x
Definitely strive to find something that works for you. I remember old colleagues of mine bragging about how long their plans were and how they spent hours on them - I never felt envious of that life 😂 and happy birthday to your husband too!! Thanks for taking time to share a comment here too. It really helps the channel! X
hi video was really good and clear and understanding . but i think it was general informations i would like from you to be more specific in lesson plan details if it is possible thank you .

Dear teacher I'm a teacher in a village in south Bengal. I'd like to get more ideas on how to make online classes more effective ...its my first time so will need all the help
It’s a tough one. Some weeks I’m extremely motivated and other weeks it can be such a drag. Maybe I should make a video on motivation if that would be useful for you? Good luck with the PGCE. Where are you taking it in the UK? Let me know if there is anything else I can make to support you! 🥳
Thank you so much for your informative video. Is there an email I can reach on on ? I need specific help in planning a new training program I am working on

Why is lesson planning SO time-consuming! I feel like I have NO TIME whatsoever and I can never switch off in evenings or weekends 😭

Hopefully she sees this comment, I’d love to know too. It’s a really cute necklace
Another useful video, and very reassuring as I sit down on Sunday morning to finish my weekly planning. I've been subscribed since my wobbly teacher trainee year, through NQT and now RQT and your videos continue to be a source of help and inspiration. I know you've touched on the subject before, but as it continues to be relevant would you consider speaking more on managing workload and teacher well-being? With a new OFSTED framework and what feels like the ensuing chaotic rush to meet these goals I find I'm really exhausted at the moment. Thank you again, and I hope you're enjoying your own class! 💛

ok, I was watching your video while roughly planning my lessons for the next weeks. And your tips helped so much! Thank you
I'm going to do my PGCE in September. Been watching your videos to make me feel more prepared!
So helpful as I'm going onto my first placement in a week :)
We have the same birthdayss!! I'm currently getting my TESOL cert so I can teach overseas!
I'm in college right now for elementary education, and these lesson plans are killing me. I'm almost at the point that I want to pursue a different field. I spend hours on each lesson plan to hit all the points they require on the plans and make them "detailed enough for a sub to pick up the plan and teach from it."

Thank you for your video’s, they’re really reassuring in terms of growing in confidence! Xx
Found the video to be very helpful in planning ahead and most important taking the time to build of bank of resources.
Thank you for your comment. In a few years your resource bank will be full of so much useful material! X
Plato understood the aim of education to teach the learner how to learn. Chomsky states education should foster curiosity in the learner, whilst equipping them to challenge information sources and authority.
Potential trainee teacher. A free guide would be nice..
😄
This was really helpful. Could you please share some ideas on creating a bank of resources? I am curretnly a trainee and find it very difficult when it comes to planning from scratch. Also, please share some ideas on managing the pace during the lesson make learning engaging at the same time.
Hi, I've just been accepted to a PGDE Primary program starting in September. Your videos are so helpful.
Needed to hear this!! Thankyou for this video xx
Wish to come after 4 years talking the same after I'm done with my degree.
In my last year of study. Would love to recieve your guide as an NQT!
Hi Katie! I'm about to dive into the teaching world (training) and this is very helpful and reassuring :) thanks!
Hello, I would like to read the article you showed about the first year of teaching. How to find it? Thank you
Hi can you make a video of how to use our time as NQT’s to prepare for September please especially in this COVID19 times ?
This is so helpful! Thank you 🙏🏼 I am just about to jump back into my NQT year (I had to leave early due to health reasons) so I need all the help I can get haha!
Take all the time you need. I also actually missed some of my NQT as I had an operation! Do whatever works for you. Hope everything goes well! X
Please make a video about your experiences with the coronavirus. I am interested to see what it is like as a teacher!
Hello! Thank you for the video I'm glad to hear planning will get easier 🙂
I would be so grateful to receive one of your e-books as I am looking forward to starting my BA honours in primary teaching with QTS. Also, I love your videos as they inspire me and make me even more exited to get into teaching. 😄
I’ll be sure to message out on the 14th! I also studied BA honours primary ed with QTS. Hope your journey is just as exciting as mine was (and eventful, of course!) Thank you for the feedback. I hope to continue making useful videos 😇 Appreciate the support!

Started my final placement and can’t wait to teach 80% 😆😬. Love your videos find them so inspirational and super helpful. X ❤️
I am currently on my final block placement and applying for NQT jobs. I would love the NQT guide as I would find it super helpful for next year ❤️
Hey, really useful video! Do you have any example lesson plans that we could look at? I’m currently doing my final block placement at Sheffield Hallam (the same course as you!) and struggling to stick to a lesson planning format as I find that it only works for some lessons
Hey, I'll be an NQT this September so this guide would be really helpful! 💕
You are entered into the giveaway! Good luck with the NQT year. What year group will you be teaching or not found out yet? X
Thank you! 😊 I'm currently still studying my PGCE so hopefully I will get a job in reception / year 1 soon x
Really helpful video thank you. I was wondering if you knew any teacher's who were dyslexic and if you could get them to make a video with you talking about how they overcome this challenge.
I do know dyslexic teachers. I’m not sure I could persuade them to film (people get very shy about videos) but I can try asking, right? 😇 Great teachers can be dyslexic too for sure!
Hi :) love your videos they have come in so handy in my teaching training years! Im currently half way through my PDGE year and although I do feel a lot more comfortable in the role as class teacher there are still so many things to learn and feel like Ill never learn it all before my probation year starts in August. Therefore would really appreciate if I won one of your ebooks as it would come in so handy and would hopefully take away some stress! Thanks

Hi Katie!
Big fan of your videos, here from Singapore 🇸🇬 Keep it up! 👍
Thanks so much! I visited Singapore a couple of years back and had an amazing time. Would love to visit again in the future! Appreciate you supporting the channel :)
Thanks for the video lovely. Really put my mind at rest, I've seen on placements teachers who dont plan and teachers who as you said plan reems and reems, it seems I need to find my own niche. Happy birthday for valentine's day it's also my husbands birthday x
Definitely strive to find something that works for you. I remember old colleagues of mine bragging about how long their plans were and how they spent hours on them - I never felt envious of that life 😂 and happy birthday to your husband too!! Thanks for taking time to share a comment here too. It really helps the channel! X
Tx

How to keep motivated while you are teaching? I'm gonna start my PGCE next September in UK. Love From India .
It’s a tough one. Some weeks I’m extremely motivated and other weeks it can be such a drag. Maybe I should make a video on motivation if that would be useful for you? Good luck with the PGCE. Where are you taking it in the UK? Let me know if there is anything else I can make to support you! 🥳
