Using only the Prescribed Material
R I instructors are required to use the curriculum which has been approved by the cooperative group.
1. Know the curriculum material which has been agreed upon for your school, and only use it.
2. R I instructors/helpers need to remember that it is quite appropriate to adapt a lesson to suit the needs of both teacher and students as long as the overall aim or meaning of the lesson is retained.
3. If in doubt ask your R I coordinator about the level of flexibility allowed in using the material. Must this material be the only resource used? Yes Can it be supplemented [not replaced] with other resource which will achieve the lesson aims? See 'My Connect' a CEP
Preparing Your Lesson
Lesson material requires preparation time.[unless you decide to use a PowerPoint lesson, with a back up plan B] Some lessons may need to be adapted to suit the students and/or the teacher.
Helpful Hints:
1. Allow yourself plenty of time.
2. Pray for yourself and your students
3. Read through the lesson notes and student material.
4. Be clear about what the lesson aims to achieve.
5. Complete the student 'Activity Page' yourself prior to the commencement of the lesson.
6. Ensure the introduction of the lesson 'grabs' the attention of the students. [PP lessons always do this]
7. Highlight the key points of the lesson so that you know what needs to be emphasized.
8. Ensure there is a balance between the three circles...God talk, People talk, Me talk.
9. Make sure the activities are suitable for the particular age group and learning styles of the students.
10. The conclusion should draw together the theme of the lesson.
Ask yourself: What worked well?
What could be improved? Was the Aim achieved?
