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.
