Prabang, LAOS
Lesson
Planning and Resource Room
GVI Laos wishes to acknowledge and praise the
professionalism and team work that GVI volunteers have shown towards their
lesson planning – a vital ingredient for successful teaching and learning in
the classrooms. GVI volunteers over the month of November have delivered 814
hours of teaching across 7 sites. For every hour of teaching there is commonly
double the time spent on lesson planning. Throughout November, GVI volunteers
involved in the Laos teaching projects put in a total of approximately 15-20 hours/week/person in planning for their
lessons. They are supported and supervised by GVI staff who put in an average
of 20-25 hours/week each in delivering training and lesson planning support.
An effective practice implemented by GVI staff is to assign
each volunteer a dedicated staff mentor from whom they receive lesson planning
support. On a daily basis, staff work closely with each volunteer helping them
on varying levels to prepare an effective lesson plan. Each volunteer is
required to check in with their staff mentor to have their lesson plan
approved. TEFL Training delivered to new volunteers on their 1st
Monday is dedicated solely to lesson planning. In this training, volunteers
work through the steps of designing a sequential lesson plan.
Lesson planning is complemented by the comprehensive supply
of TEFL resources that have been built up by GVI Laos. We are fortunate to have
a resource room at Xayadeth College, one of the schools where volunteers work.
The resource room is well stocked with a wide range of teaching resources and
is probably one of the most comprehensive libraries for TEFL resources in Luang
Prabang. As a response to volunteer feedback for more effective organization of
the resources, many hours have been spent by staff and volunteers in organizing
these resources for easy access. Resources have been catalogued, culled and
labeled. Shelves have been dusted,
stocked and arranged. To date, the Resource Room is the best that it has ever
looked.
