Co-Planning Strategies
One Reflects, One Plans
One teacher thinks aloud about the main parts of the lesson and the other teacher writes the plan.
One Reflects, One Plans
Benefits
Lesson content is a reasonable fit
Provides transparency in planning process
Concerns
May be a gap between what one teacher spoke out loud and what the other heard
Excessive use of this strategy may not support both teachers’ improving planning skills
Notes
For the teacher reflecting, thinking aloud requires articulating what may be automatic. The teacher must ask, “How do I know how to plan?”
