The edTPA

In the "Making Good Choices" document of the edTPA, one of the topics that stands out is time management. Being able to manage time effectively is important, as it allows you to better prepare your lessons and effectively teach material. Effective time management also  helps you effectively prepare and plan lessons. This is especially important, as planning the lessons with plenty of time in advance can help give you time for revision and editing. Additionally, it allows instructors time to thoroughly provide information in their lesson plans. This allows teachers to prepare, anticipate, and adjust their lessons ahead of time, which allows the students to receive more effective instruction in their classrooms.

The information on the lesson plan guidelines was also very helpful, providing some extra insight into writing lesson plans. While the TPA can seem overwhelming at first, the information helps to break it down into more manageable terms and clears up some of the more ambiguous requirements. It breaks down and explains what each section needs to cover to create an effective and reliable lesson plan. Additionally, it's a wonderful resource to have on hand while writing lesson plans for new and inexperienced student teachers, as well as those with more experience.

Overall, these resources are both helpful to any teacher in the classroom. They provide additional information and guidance in writing lesson plans, and are particularly helpful for those who are inexperienced when it comes to writing lesson plans.
