I wish I knew before NTI
I wish I knew how to develop lesson plans and classroom management. My life would have been so much better if I knew how to develop a lesson plan before I began teaching. Since NTI I have learned how to develop a lesson plan and understand it. The lesson plan promotes structure and clarity. The daily lesson creates a smooth transition. Most of all the lesson plan gives me more confidence as a teacher. I didn't know my students would be so diverse with academic challenges and so many behavior issues abroad. I wasn't prepared to manage such a class with any guidance or help. It would have helped if I knew more before NTI or before I began teaching. Hey, Thank God for NTI!Dr.Burns,Dr. Montrois and Ms.Chillis Thanks!!!!
Yes the lesson plan was a GOD send thank you NTI, because I really understand how important a lesson plan is, thanks to Ms. Chillis who made it possible. I agree with my collegues that lesson plans are essential.
