Is lesson planning difficult?
I have always wanted to be a teacher but lesson planning seems hard. How do you deal with behaviors in a nice and calm way?

Lesson planning can take time, especially if you want to create something that's content rich, engaging, and can reach all students. However, once you get a couple of years into teaching, you can leverage/adapt lessons you've created historically. It definitely gets less time consuming over time!
Thank you!

Lesson planning is not difficult but time consuming. I think the hardest part of the lesson plan is to be able to meet every student's needs. To accomplish this goal, you must keep in mind the Theory of multiple intelligence, by doing so you will meet all or almost all of your student's needs. Eventually you will master it and maybe enjoy it.

Hi Chloe,
Do not worry, we all have this fear before we start teaching, and that is normal. The good thing is that there is some technic that you can use, some of them you will learn as a part of some subject, and that will give you a good guide on how to plan a lesson.
Of course, you can also find out some specific thing that suits you, but of course, it is also important to have in mind that sometimes your planning is going to be just a direction of how you want the class looks.
It is good to plan, and have everything prepared, but be ready to be flexible also. All of us are different so when you are planning some lesson try to involve yourself as much as you could example and make that lesson interesting for a lot of students. Also, try to understand how students react to your lesson and examples, and of course change, the one that you think doesn't get good feedback.
By the time you will find this becomes a normal staff of routine.

The hardest part of lesson planning is molding the actual lesson to reach everyone in the audience. We have come a long way i teaching and lecturing to know that not everyone learns and retains information the same way. So the hardest part of lesson planning is .... Teaching it. When teaching your lesson plan , you have to be flexible and open to different types of learning feedback from your audience.
Thank you!
