Lesson Planning Todo List

Preparation

• Define primary/secondary instructors
• Is previous lesson's review available?
• Check /assets/unit-{}-base.pptx
• Note key learning objectives and terminology for slide deck
• Refine lesson exercises - can previous /assets exercises be reused/repurposed?
• Lesson materials
  • Standardize slides (ex. terminology icon, exercise icon, etc.)
  • First time primary/secondary this year? Include an intro slide about yourself!
  • Prepare exercises and review code
• Public lesson PR submissions
  • readme.md - fill in any blanks
  • lesson.pptx - remove anything that shouldn't be public (confidential info)
  • review.pptx - pay it forward to the next instructors!
  • .py files (submit solutions to private instructor repo)

Day of Lesson

• Are student WiFi access credentials available? (if not, notify in teams ASAP)
• Is previous lesson review accounted for?
• Can supporting instructors help you?
  • Move desks?
  • Put students into groups?
  • Specific pairing strategies? (ex. each instructor focus on 2-3 students?)
