Do you really need teacher training in order to plan and excecute a good lesson plan?? I wonder because I seem to have issues planning lessons in that format. I can make one heck of a good to do list of what I want to cover for a certain subject or as I love to do Unit. So where does that leave my planning it for my homeschool tracker? I love the homeschool tracker I do, but the lesson plan section on it is somewhat dubious. ok I admit very dubious. Why does it always seem like I am missing something?
So if you have homeschool tracker plus (basic version does not have the lesson planner part)how do you plan those lessons. I am trying to get all my great ideas into lessons that I can translate out over the coming school year.
It has been my experience not to get to detailed on these because I have spent hours planning and looking up great books and stuff only to find my library doesn't have said book. They do have ones on the subject so I get those and supplement. Now I don't want to write those down I would just like to see what my library has on the subject.

No you don't have to have teacher training! I used to spend hours doing lesson plans (on mostly unit studies) for my 2 kids, now I have 4.
I use K12 and it's all done for me. They can look at each day or week and see what they need to be doing. I can see what is being covered and I can then spend time on doing unit studies/extra stuff to complement the lessons.
When I did my own there were gaps and stuff that didn't get done. Now I can better see if there are gaps to cover.
liese,
I did k-12 too, small world. I did like that aspect of it but it was just so much work my kids started to complain alot and I too got overwhelmed. Mostly I guess that means it doesn't fit into our family dinamic but it's okay because now we know what doesn't work for us.
Now the battle to find what does.
