I am undertaking a `instrumental Teaching Diploma' with Trinity College. Part of the course asks for detailed lesson plans. We already know from the current Lesson Planning strand that many of us don't use lesson plans, but have an overall skeleton plan and occasionally 'wing' our way through the lesson.

I would appreciate it if anyone out there could send/PM me one of their lesson plans so I have examples to work against.

Similarly, I plan my lessons, but not always by writing things down. I usually try to jot down a few notes after each lesson to help me prepare for the next week by reminding me of particular things that will need work.

Well yes, so do I. However the course requires...
'lesson plans covering the full 20 hours of contact time, including objectives, activities, repertoire and resources'
I am not quite sure how to present this within a case study report

Chris - I will PM you as I did the ATCL teaching diploma a few years ago but the syllabus has changed since I did it. They used to have a pro forma on their website but having had a quick look, it doesn't look as if there is anything there any more. I didn't use their pro forma format but a landscape page format including more or less the same information.

Thanks one and all, I have what I need to forge ahead.
