I like having a plan. And sub plans.
It all starts from the end goal and then back to the start. Segmented with all that has to happen.
The plan is solid but will be adjusted as you go.
Teaching a class is the same. First asking yourself what is the end goal. Student continues to grow, students progress with their ranks, students are kept engaged (not quitting).
As there are a lot of factors for success, the plan is morphing and changing based on the needs of the class. But the goal stays solid most of the time. Changes to the plan can and will happen in between classes and also in class itself but these are small adjustments based on who is in class, your state of mind and how the class is progressing.
Overall- the plan serves the goal. The plan changes based on reality.
