Organization of the subject

By lesson planning, the instructor knows what he has to teach and how he has to teach. He selects the suitable subjects and lessons for teaching; lesson plan serves to organize the whole activity in a smooth way.

Much time saved

The Instructor knows what he/she has to teach in a class. He/she teaches only what is needed to the learners in the class. He/she teaches necessary things only. He/she does not teaches what is not necessary. In this way the teacher teaches much in less time. Also unnecessary teaching is avoided which saves instructional time. Thus, much time is saved.

Work is done in a planned manner.

The Instructor begins a lesson in a suitable manner. He/she develops the lesson in a planned manner. He/ she asks the trainees to do oral or written work in a planned way. The Instructor divides his time according to the needs of the trainees. He/she is also able to examine the work done by the trainees. All work is finished according to the plan.

Selection and utilization of suitable teaching aids properly.

In order to create multi sensation to the learners to understand the importance of the lesson the instructor plans, prepares or selects suitable teaching aids and utilizes them at appropriate situations by making spot hints on the lesson plan itself.

Unnecessary teaching is avoided.

If teaching is done without any plan, there are chances that the teacher may teach unnecessary things to the trainees. If there is a lesson planning, the Instructor teaches the necessary things only.

Suitable atmosphere is created.

By lesson planning, the instructor creates a suitable atmosphere for teaching and learning. The trainees learn the lesson, which is taught to them in a period. The trainees know that they have learnt the lesson in a fixed period, so that they learn it well.

Lesson plan form the ‘record of teaching - learning activity’

All the instructors are expected to carryout the teaching activity effectively for each session. Therefore, once prepared lesson plan for a batch is preserved as a permanent record of teaching - learning activity. Depending upon the changes in syllabus if any, the content can be modified as and when required.
