Discussions Forum 2: Planning
Chapter 1 is an introduction to instructional design. Many teachers and trainers are taught extensively about designing lesson plans and presenting lessons. Briefly tell the class about how you were trained (either in college or in your district) about planning lessons. How comfortable are you with your planning? Are you thorough enough? Do you find it to be a helpful process or a necessary evil of being a teacher or trainer?
