Hello, Lamp Post, Whatcha Knowin'?

=  HOME OR How the Teacher Navigates the Vehicle = Overview of the website. Please feel free to peruse the website at your leisure and offer suggestions for its improvement via email. More information is located on my page, but briefly, I can be contacted at earl.demott@vbschools.com or earldemott@gmail.com The primary purpose of this website is for the training of teacher candidates in the field of social studies and the website is used for presentational purposes. Therefore, any "incomplete" page is due to the fact that the physical face to face lecture format supplements the webpage. Regardless, I wish to have students continue to use the website, even well after initial contact, and I welcome suggestions. Furthermore, joining the group requires "acceptance". This denotes that members can edit. I ask only that once accepted, members only make changes to their own student page, and make suggestion for changes to me via email. This way, there will not be too many cooks to spoil the broth. Please bear in mind that this wikispace is always a work in progress. Thanks, EDM

=Lesson Plan OR How the Teacher Searches for Tools= For help with lesson planning, please click on Lesson Plan on the side bar. Remember three important concepts. 1.This format is ONE format used. Use the preferred format of the institute you are working under. Most of the concepts of lesson planning are embedded within this format, however. 2. The lesson plan format is an extention of what many old schoolers are used to. The heart, in fact, is the same. Think of this hybrid lesson plan as a three parter: the first part is the intro (mostly for validation that the teacher is doing his/her job) and for an administrative audience; the second part is the how to and is the most practical and is for a substitute teacher audience (therefore, be as blatantly obvious as you can be in writing it... think of it as an instruction manual that should include every detail of HOW TO do a procedure; ironically, content does NOT live here beyond the mention of the content heading); and third, for the admin and the substitute refers to resources and go to places. In this light, I suggest working super hard on part two, cut and pasting part one from standards, and cross referencing part three to match part two. In other words, there is very little invention going on in parts one or three. 3. The third principle is that teachers don't teach from lesson plans, in part because they are not the audience of the lesson plan. For the most part, teachers teach from an agenda. Therefore, within the lesson plan, there should be a whole lot of "See attachment" statements - all of which will be the true content. A sample is provided in the lesson plan section for my Career Switchers Class. I am happy to field any questions you may have.

Although incomplete and "a work in progress", students may wish to look at the Sample Lesson Plan Evaluations below for additional samples.
