Education and Learning Session Plans (contd)
There are many forms of Education & Learning Session Plans which I have discussed in E+L Session Plans Part 4. This blog continues the series.
DLP’s Summary Education & Learning Session Plan
What: This is a summary outline of the education & learning session of what you are planning to do
Possible Use: This is a summary outline of the education & learning session of what you are planning to do, that can be passed to the students to inform them what they are about to do.
The same summary outline of the education & learning session can be used at the conclusion of the practice session, of what the learners did, and learnt.
EG: see below
