Whether we are planning a vacation, grocery shopping or a lesson. If we don't know where we are going, how can we plan how to get there? As I became more experienced in lesson planning, I found that I would look at the goal, where my students are today and do a bit of forward and backward planning. As we grow in experience, we become better able to see the whole picture and fill in the subgoals where needed.Sheri Higgshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17227660017999830774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658005802783472297.post-86509055125648642742011-03-02T00:59:45.580-06:002011-03-02T00:59:45.580-06:00Jennifer, is planning backwards something you feel...Jennifer, is planning backwards something you feel that you want to continue with or are you hoping to begin planning in a working forward strategy? I mean whatever you feel more comfortable using is what is best for you but from what I gathered in this chapter, it did not really recommend backward planning. I understood the section on experts and novices to imply that backward planning as an ineffective strategy unless you are aware of the substeps required. I am curious if you ever find yourself too worried about the end product and paying little attention to the details in between or does is all just fall into place like Juan mentioned?Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090683965617832074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658005802783472297.post-38777237366790605222011-02-27T22:00:15.848-06:002011-02-27T22:00:15.848-06:00As I am reading your blog about backward planning ...As I am reading your blog about backward planning it brings to mind some of the classes that I have been taking for my masters where we have to develop a lesson. When I was developing the lesson I felt like I was planning backwards. I was always thinking about the end goal of my lesson. What did I want the learner to master when he or she went through my entire lesson. I was think how am I going to check if the learner had accomplished the objective I had set out to teach. I felt it was beneficial to plan an entire lesson thinking of the goal in mind. The pieces of the lesson just fell into place.Juan Miguel Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14149041100126082004noreply@blogger.com
