In November 2017, I challenged the school inspection process in England that trainee teachers should not have to write detailed lesson plans. I am pleased to report that there is a step forward in this unnecessary burden placed upon trainee teachers.

    I would say it was an mesmerizing experience for me when i went to implement my first lesson. it helped me to explore and improve my lesson planning skills. There were challenges but i would say they helped me to think out of the box. Further, i would suggest always do experiments with your teaching because they will develop better version of you. while planning the lesson never think that you will always get the success. Being a student teacher, I had a great opportunity to make good memory with my students and for my students.

    To me Lesson planning is like a Rainbow!
