About the Event :

Preparing and developing lesson plan is a necessary task but it can be time consuming for most teachers. Often, teachers are loaded with work and are time poor.

Adapting from how to prepare presentation, the Pyramid approach is a simple, quick, focused and effective method teachers can use to develop lesson plan. It is a visual approach allowing teachers to see how each point or subject matter connects to the next, and at the same time consider appropriate activities to be included in order to make the lesson relevant and interesting.   

Use it well, the Pyramid approach helps to save teaching preparation time; and time is a limited resource for most teachers.
