Creating an Education Plan (Part 3)

Education Plan Structure and Composition

Author: Manuel R. CortezRodas


The final step in creating an education plan is to develop the structure and composition of it.  The structure serves as the supportive framework on which the education plan is composed.  The composition of the education plan serves as the necessary content needed by the plan, arranged in an interconnecting layering format, that allows for flexibility, mobility, adaptation, and growth.  Together, the structure and composition of the education plan presentation, based on the brainstorm, completes the creation of an education plan.

Structure
Structure is the supportive framework of the education plan. The structure should be strong and solid with joints that allow for transition.  An education plan should be structured by joining together the many fundamental pieces that are required to present what was brainstormed.

While many education plans be created with common fundamental pieces, the arrangement of these pieces can be varied to allow for diversity and range.  It is imperative that the structure be strong or the plan will eventually collapse.

Composition
Composition is the necessary content for the education plan.  Composition should be interconnected for maximum efficiency and performance.  It should also be formatted in layers that allow for flexibility, mobility, adaptation, and growth.  

An education plan should be composed of information, interpretation, discussion, reflection, as well as measurable parts like homework, quizzes, tests, and exams.  The composition of an education plan allows an educator to prepare the presentation of the plan to the students.

Creating an education plan begins with a brainstorm after which the plan can be presented for the final development of its structure and composition.  An education plan is a good and useful tool that educators should learn to use.  By creating a good education plan, an educator should be able to educate students with measurable success.  Educators who create a good education plan, know that they have a resource that supports them as they educate their students.  Educators should develop the good habit of creating their own education plans.

Creating an Education Plan (Part 2)

Education Plan Presentation

Author: Manuel R. CortezRodas


A good education plan should begin with a brainstorm.  A brainstorm allows the brain to storm thoughts and ideas.  While these thoughts and ideas are storming out of our brain, we must also keep present in mind, that the brainstorming of an education plan will directly affect students, and we must shelter them from any hazards that may appear.  Following the brainstorm of the education plan is the presentation.

Developing the presentation of an education plan takes three stages: Time, Place, and Communication.  These three stages establish the parameters that we need to present the education plan not only to our students, but also to ourselves and others whose guidance can help us in the creation of an education plan.

Time
How much time can we allocate to the presentation of an education plan? Is the plan being created for a 30 minute lesson, for a 5-day week with 1 hour each day? Is this a month or year long plan? Will the plan be implemented tomorrow, next week, in a month, or the following year?  
Time is the first parameter we must take into consideration when creating an education plan.  Once we know how much time we can allocate to the presentation of an education plan, we can proceed to the next stage.

Place
Where is the education plan taking place?  Are we limited to the classroom?  Can we go on a field trip?  Do the school facilities contain the necessary locations and accommodations for the education plan that we are going to create?  
Upon knowing how much time we have, we now need a place where the plan that we are presenting can be implemented and executed.  The second stage of presenting an education plan is finding a location that is suitable.
 
Communication
The third stage in an education plan presentation is communication.  How do we communicate what we want to present in our education plan? Will this be a reading or a lecture? Are notes going to be taken or will there be question/answer interaction? Do we create or project audio/visual aids that enhance the effectiveness of communicating the presentation?   
Communicating, in the allocated time, at the place where we are presenting our education plan, is the final stage, in the presentation of an educational plan, that is being created.

The presentation of an education plan serves the purpose of creating a method of communication.  With the ability to communicate and present the brainstorm of an education plan, we have gotten closer to completing the creation of a good education plan.  By now, our education plan has weathered the brainstorm of ideas, both good and bad, and has a method by which it can be communicated to others.  This is only the start to the creation of an education plan.  Now comes the structure and composition to complete the creation of our education plan.

Creating an Education Plan (Part 1)

Education Plan Brainstorm

Author: Manuel R. CortezRodas


An educational plan is a good and helpful tool for educators to use.  It helps us lay down a clear vision on a solid foundation.  A vision that lets us see a clear path from the present presentation of education, to a future interpretation of those who become educated.

From one hour, to an hour per month, per week, per day, to five or six days a week, to a quarter, a semester, or a whole school year; time is defined in education by many terms, and educators should have an education plan that is good, and helps see the students become educated in the time defined.  We should see our students through to a good education for their future.  Creating an education plan is a good and helpful tool for educators to use.

A primary step to take when developing an education plan is a brainstorm.  A brainstorm is composed of parts: the brain, and the storm.  The brain is the organ in our body where learning is processed.  The storm is, as its natural definition reminds us, a rapid change in weather that may result in hazardous conditions, without proper shelter.

During an education plan brainstorm, thinking about the education process, and sheltering it form hazards, allows for the safe and secure educational development of a concept, idea, standard, or thought.  By preparing and planning for all possible adversities that we face as educators, and those that students face in their education, we can design and develop an educational plan that should result in educational success.

It is good that educators create education plans, and it is good that they start by brainstorming such creations, if the education plans are to weather through the tough seasons and develop during the good times.  With an education plan in a secure place where it can thrive, an educator can securely educate a classroom of students a concept, idea, standard, or thought.
