I had to induct a new teacher at school once. They were fairly new to teaching and unfamiliar with our in-house product at the time (called myClass). I thought that listening to me ramble on for half an hour about how to approach the planning would be boring. So, I decided a one-page ‘try it like this’ would be better. And a tad less condescending*. Here was that one page.
(*yes I’m aware that I start with ‘open the lesson flipchart’, but it’s not as condescending as it sounds. Each lesson folder includes about 7 files, so you might as well know which ones are actually worth looking at first!)
