A more natural form of Lesson Plan by Andrew P. Johnson of Minnesota


dr.andy@charter.net  That's the email address of an innovative lecturer in Minnesota.  His video caught my eye (on youtube about madeline hunter) because I was looking for a form to make a lesson plan.   ....then I went to opdt-johnson.com

and then I found his article about the "skills lesson plan."
I especially like this paragraph



"Complexity is often mistaken for rigor and effectiveness."

The  "Skills Lesson Plan" by Johnson





The Realness of the Teacher

A clear definition of facilitator:  
until there is a real relationship, the teacher is just a dancing monkey making noise.
-- A. Johnson

Learners feel valued (see these screen shots)













A shorter way of looking at the lesson plan.




To get more about Carl Rogers, look for a 1966 speech (summary) from a Harvard website.


As Johnson says:

"content is delivered as a result of the natural relationship" (that evolves between teacher and student).

"The teacher contacts the real world...
teachers bring in problems that students want to resolve."


The contrast:
test test test =  teacher is a measurer


I hope more people take time to see what Johnson is writing about in Minnesota.
