This artifact is important because it creates transparency for parents, students, and faculty. The standards, objectives, and a short summary of daily/ weekly plans are all clearly visible and justify the teaching and learning that will take place in your classroom. Transparency is important within the education field and allows for students to know and prepare for their learning, supervisors and principals to check alignment, and parents to see what's going on in the classroom. This artifact is also important for myself as a teacher because it helps me manage time, plan activities, align standards, and have an overview of what i'll be doing over an extended period of time. This schedule can allow me to be more flexible by extending lessons over the course of more days, or shorten them based on availability of time and how my class is performing. This schedule also presents free time in my schedule or designated time that students can see to get help after school, during study hall etc. This artifact is important for both myself and the transparency of others.
The research and activities we completed in EDU 410 emphasized the importance of daily and weekly schedules. The plan book activity we completed showed the type of vital information a planner can provide and how it helps with time management which is crucial for the teaching profession. Our research also indicated the importance a planner can make when a substitute teacher is required; it helps you reframe from skipping instructional days because of sicknesses or other unplanned inconveniences. Instructional time is limited as is, if you can manage to have your students learn something even when you're not there you're going to benefit exponentially in the long run. The research and activities we completed in EDU 410 revealed the importance a a daily and weekly planner can provide for an educator.
What I learned from the creation of this artifact is that transparency is something to strive for, and planning is essential for success. This artifact is the perfect way to accomplish both of those objectives. I learned that transparency is beneficial to establish a cohesive and productive environment, as well as allowing for parents and faculty to have an idea of what is going on in class from day to day. Also realizing how this type of planner can actually save you instruction time was extremely important. Using a plan book like this is something I will definitely keep with me in my professional future.
