What I do
Throughout my career as the executive secretary to the Head of School at an International institution, a significant aspect of my role has involved refining unit and lesson plans. This responsibility entails aligning curriculum content with the American Common Core standards while ensuring adherence to the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework. This process demands meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of both educational standards, facilitating the delivery of high-quality, internationally recognized education.
I've set up a system using Excel that links each subject from Nursery to Grade 12 with their corresponding grade levels. This allows section coordinators to create unit plans for each grade under their supervision. These plans serve as a guide for teachers to create their lesson plans.
Additionally, every year, coordinators choose the most effective lesson plans for each subject and grade level, compiling them into accessible collections. This approach encourages collaboration and ongoing improvement in our teaching methods.
With this method in place, I expect that within 2-3 years, we'll have a complete set of top-notch lesson plans for every topic in every subject across all grade levels. This not only improves teaching quality but also fosters a supportive and cooperative educational environment.
