Welcome back to Teaching with Valor, the podcast where we explore the everyday questions, challenges, and victories of teaching. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today we’re diving into one of the most fundamental aspects of teaching: What resources are available for instructional planning?
When it comes to planning lessons, having the right resources can make all the difference. But with so many books, websites, apps, and educational tools out there, how do you find what you need without getting overwhelmed? Whether you’re new to teaching or you’ve been in the classroom for years, instructional planning can sometimes feel like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. There are so many pieces, and finding the ones that fit can take time and patience.
In this episode, we’re going to break it down step-by-step. We’ll explore some of the best resources for instructional planning at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. We’ll also talk about how to find resources that align with your teaching style and your students’ needs. And, we’ll touch on how to avoid the trap of over-planning—because yes, that’s a thing too!
