Lesson planning is a special skill that is learned in much the same way as other skills .
It is one thing to surf the Net and get lesson plans that you can use from other sites. It is quite another thing to have the skill to develop your own lesson plans. Having this skill is far more valuable than being able to use lesson plans developed by others. It takes thinking and practice to hone this skill, and it won't happen overnight, but it is a skill that will help to define you as a teacher. Good lesson plans do not ensure students will learn what is intended, but they certainly contribute to it.
