 Hello, my name is Ross McGill. I've been a teacher for 25 years. I started blogging and tweeting 10 years ago as teacher toolkit It's now one of the most red blogs on education in the UK about eight years ago a Chat called John Bailey who I've worked with for many years Dropped a simple template onto my desk about one or two years later after Experimenting with it in my class in terms of my own planning and also working with trainee teachers. I Shared a photo of this image on my social media channels and within a matter of minutes The lesson plan started to go viral and it started to be downloaded across the world So there's a clear need for teachers to find ideas to reduce workload Teachers will always need to plan so the great thing about the five-minute lesson plan It's supporting teacher workload mental health And it's allowing teachers to keep thinking about Lesson plans in the busy nature of school life as a new teacher Not only are you going to be bombarded with marking with data with behavior management? You also need to learn the art form of planning Lesson planning is not a form-filling exercise, and it's certainly not one or two pages of detail It's a thought process The five-minute lesson plan allows you to go through this thought process Towards stickability. What do you want the students to learn not do?
