What I learned from this session was planning is essential if you want to have success in the classroom. The meticulous way Tom Michalek plans is amazing. It goes from yearly to weekly to daily plans. All of it is in one excel sheet on his computer which means if he needs to check or revise or change anything he can do it really efficiently.
