I find that often my 'formative assessment' is unplanned.
Susan Reid


I generally tend to follow a lesson plan, but as I gain more experience, I'm learning to be flexible when things are working right and if something comes up - such as a teachable moment or impromptu discussion. I try to keep to the plan, but sometimes you have to have a little variety in your routine to keep the students interested.
Bryan Woerner


The lesson plan is always a big picture and the students fit into that big picture or better yet, the big picture fits around my students because I modify any given day based on the needs and wants and desires of my students.
Katrina Hinson


I think learners knowing where they are at and being able to work that out themselves is critical to the concept of independent lifelong learning.
