AY 375 - Fall 2020: Second Day Lesson Plan

• Important Reminders:
  • Enroll and complete the GSI Resource Center's Online Ethics Course. You are all required to enroll in this course and complete all five online modules during the first 2 weeks of the semester.
  • Contact Maria Kies (emkies@berkeley.edu) if you think you will need to use a room in Campbell to remotely teach from. Unfortunately, the deadline has already passed, but there still may be a workable solution if you cannot teach from home.
• Recap what the homework was:
  • Draft a syllabus for your course
  • Draft a lesson plan for your first section

• (15 mins) Trade your lesson plan and syllabus with at least two people for feedback
• (10 mins) Discussion:
  • What did you see that you liked or want to borrow?
  • Reminder of first day skeleton plan

• When/where people and teaching section / holding office hours for the wiki
• Pre-first class logistics
  • Buy white board markers and notecards (there may be notecards you can get from the department)
  • Get a copy of a textbook
  • Get a copy code to make handouts
  • Make sure you've met with your instructor and set expectations
  • Schedule office hours and where they should be held (you need to reserve a room)
  • Get access to section / office hour room
  • Is your class using bcourses? Do you have access? Familiarize yourself
  • Badgrads account to access to EBRB
• Any last minute questions?

• Sharing of words of wisdom from last year's class!

1. Keep a lesson plan notebook throughout the semester. You should be writing out your lesson plan prior to section each week, including specific learning objectives and time estimations. After you teach, jot down some notes/reflections on your lesson plan of what worked well and what didn't - these are useful to have if you teach the same class again in the future!

2. Read this article.

3. Have great first sections!
