Lesson Plans
These are phrases or words used by a teacher in a clear and easy to remember way eg Out, Up and Down. Always keep to the same wording for an exercise each week or it may become confusing as lots of parents/carers use these techniques at home. These are prompts on the lesson plans.
These are practices that the teacher will use whilst teaching to enable the group to learn the skill being taught. Practices should be progressive such as describing inversions. Our Teaching plans are constructed as described in your training incorporating Every Child Matters of the Early Years Foundation Stage and taking into consideration Special Educational Needs (SEN). Do not forget to include benefits and particularly cautions for both carer and baby/child. Prompts are on your lesson plans.
Some plans will be quite lengthy. However, as you gain confidence you will be able to condense them to include or miss out certain stretches. You should always refer to your baby/toddler or children’s manual on anything in a lesson plan you are not sure of for the appropriate age group.
