Education - Lesson Planning Resources
Where to begin
Lesson planning is part of the process of making pedagogical, intellectual and ideological choices...It is where we start making choices about what is important to know, how we want to explain it, and how we can make it possible for our students to figure it out also .
from Singer, A.J. & the Hofstra New Teachers Network (2009). Social Studies for Secondary Schools 3rd ed. New York: Routledge, p 219
