The book is addressed to those interested in school activities, namely education executives and especially prospective and serving educators. In addition to theory, the majority of the book focuses on the practical aspect of teaching, in order to serve as a useful aid to the reader. Specifically, it analyzes the necessity of planning/designing teaching at micro- and macro-levels, and the basic prerequisites for teaching planning. It also raises and develops questions that educators should ask themselves when preparing for teaching, presents various types of educators based on their preparation method, analyzes the key points of teaching planning, and provides specific teaching approaches with traditional and modern teaching and learning methods. Furthermore, it presents various forms of teaching and learning techniques used in the educational process through sketches and diagrams, and discusses their contribution to the success of teaching. It also includes teaching plans and teaching scenarios created by educators in practice at both school levels, which can be useful and serve as a basis for further discussion among interested parties.
