This booklet is designed to help teachers integrate curriculum, strategies, evaluation, and learners' needs within the context of the larger education picture and to encourage teachers to revisit the fundamentals of education in light of professional teaching experience. The booklet includes places for the reader to record his/her own thoughts and a chance to develop a unit or lesson plan to use with students. An early chapter offers a chance at personal reflection on professional habits of planning. The next section looks at factors that influence instruction such as classroom management and environment. A section on objectives and goals defines six types of curriculum objectives. A section on choosing strategies reviews options, offers teaching strategies summary charts, and discusses lesson plans. The next section looks at assessment in the light of objectives. A section on making it all come together discusses environment and learning styles. The next section looks at planning and considers different stages and types of planning and suggests sample planning formats. Appendices contain a list of strategies and activity ideas, a lesson plan form, and a sample learning unit. (Contains 33 references.) (JB)
