Teacher for a day II Lesson Plans Collection | Page 3

There is an old saying: “To teach is to learn twice.” Since explaining a concept to others helps extend one’s own learning, this project gave the students the opportunity to understand better the material being studied. They developed skills in organizing and planning learning activities, working collaboratively with others, giving and receiving feedback and evaluating their own learning. The teacher assistants discovered that they gained valuable experience and confidence while teaching other students, and they appreciated the chance to gain hands-on experience. This boosted their confidence and made them smile and enthusiastic about the next school year and the projects to come.
