Why is it important for teachers to adequately prepare for each lesson?

1. 1.      Why is it important for teachers to adequately prepare for each lesson?
   It is important for teachers to adequately plan for each lesson so that he/ she will always know what comes next thus, they would not be easily side-tracked. You cannot get anywhere unless you know exactly where you’re going. In light of this, your expectations of what you intend the students to learn and the objectives at the end of the lesson are clear. You have a clear cut idea of what the student is capable of learning and as the teacher he/ she should plan for each intended lesson.
   2.      Why do you think every educator should write lesson plans even though you may have taught the lesson many times over?
   Every educator should write lesson plans even though you may have taught the lesson many times over because the teacher could use many approaches to the same material and it needs to be recorded for future reference. Also, it is crucial for the teacher to know what was taught and how it was taught at a later date.
