This book highlights the crucial importance of lesson planning in elementary education, viewing this process as the heart of the profession. Throughout the various chapters, teachers and future teachers are invited to view planning as a journey and to adopt the mindset of explorers who must undertake meticulous preparations to ensure the success of their instructional efforts. The book thus offers a «passport» to facilitate this journey, aimed at enriching the experience of learning and teaching. Thoughtful and rigorous planning is presented as essential for enabling teachers to make informed decisions and adapt their strategies to students, subject matter, and learning contexts. The book encourages creativity in planning while emphasizing that rigor should support flexibility. Finally, it is the result of a collaborative effort by 23 authors, who approach planning from different angles, with 11 chapters written by university researchers and education practitioners.
