Types of teaching plans

There are five types of teacher plans that must be organized and implemented for successful education. As a teacher, planning is very important. It is one of the first major steps of ensuring classroom success. The types of teacher planning are course, term, unit, weekly, and daily.

1. Course Planning. This type of teacher plan requires several steps. A teacher should set a list of goals for the course and create an outline of the content for the course. This will include major themes, theories, and ideas. It is also good to determine a time line for course content and create a syllabus. Remember to acknowledge and consider the resources need for coursework and plan ahead appropriately.

2. Term Planning. Term planning is the second step in creating an effective teacher plan. During this type of planning it is important for a teacher to determine a weekly schedule and to choose basic ideas for the activities and content to be covered. Term plans should be constructed with students’ interests and abilities in mind. Term planning will provide flow for the coursework.

3. Unit Planning. During unit planning a teacher must create a chain of lessons that flow and work together to achieve course goals. When a teacher is creating a unit plan they must consider specific activities or ideas and information to be learned in a specific order.

4. Weekly Planning. When a teacher creates a weekly plan she must consider the time frame and events for the specific week. This will allow a teacher to manage weekly goals into individual activities and goals. This plan also requires a teacher to plan specific time frames for days of the week.

5. Daily Planning. To create a daily plan, teachers must make sure the classroom is ready for the activities planned for the day beforehand.

These five types of teacher plans are important to running a smooth and successful learning environment.
