This is at the heart of what developing written plans is all about. Through written plans, the teacher is bound to develop more sensible and complete organization and structure which can then be made clear to students. Otherwise, organization is fragmented and the structure of the subject matter and learning experiences is much more perfect.
Efficiency is gained by recording the planning before teaching a problem area.
Less time is spent re-thinking, and the plan can be used for subsequent classes. The act of writing out a plan forces the teacher to process the subject matter. When teachers think through a concept thoroughly enough to figure out how best to make it clear to others, then they understand it better and are able to teach it with greater authority and clarity.
