Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

Hearing Sebastian's question, Dumbledore smiled, relieved, and leaned back in his chair relaxedly.

He thought they were going to discuss some serious issue.

Is that it?

Dumbledore mused to himself, if it were in previous years, he would have been anxious about the selection of the new professor at this time.

After all, it was not easy to find a professor who met Hogwarts' standards and was willing to take on the heavy responsibility of teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts.

But this year, that was not a problem!

He had already decided on the professors for these two courses.

"Sebastian, you don't need to worry about this issue," Dumbledore said in a calm tone.

"The professor for Defense Against the Dark Arts has already been arranged. I have reached a consensus with Remus Lupin."

Hearing this name, Sebastian nodded.

He was no stranger to this, as Lupin had already had in-depth conversations with Dumbledore last year and agreed to this teaching job.

For this commitment, Lupin even turned down all film and television shooting plans starting in the second half of this year, focusing on preparing to teach at Hogwarts.

Thinking of this, Sebastian couldn't help but reveal a wry smile—Lockhart had been complaining about this countless times in his letters recently.

Due to Lupin's absence, the sequel to "Wandering with Werewolves" could not continue filming.

After all, Lupin was the soul of the show, an indispensable werewolf protagonist in the play.

If a newcomer were found to replace Lupin, the audience would most likely not buy it, and it might even lead to a plummet in the television series' reputation.

However, for the students of Hogwarts, Lupin was undoubtedly one of the most ideal Defense Against the Dark Arts professors.

Lupin had traveled outside for many years and faced countless dark magical creatures, especially his understanding of dark wizards, which far exceeded that of some ordinary wizards.

In his class, students could not only learn the knowledge in textbooks but also gain valuable survival experience from his personal experiences.

This kind of practical knowledge, personally imparted, was often far more profound and useful than books.

Before Sebastian's thoughts had completely settled, Dumbledore continued:

"As for the professor of Care of Magical Creatures, I plan to invite Hagrid to take the position, I believe he can handle this position."

Hearing Hagrid's name, Sebastian sighed silently in his heart.

As expected, Old Dumbledore still wanted to choose Hagrid as a professor.

It wasn't that he discriminated against Hagrid, but Hagrid's teaching performance in the original book was simply indescribable.

Hagrid's enthusiasm for magical creatures was unmatched, especially his fondness for those dangerous and enormous creatures, such as Acromantulas, dragons, and Hippogriffs.

He himself got along very well with these magical creatures, even regarding them as "pets," but he rarely considered the students' fears.

Hagrid's teaching style was simple and crude, tending to directly let students face these dangerous creatures, as if they were born with the ability to deal with these threats.

He forgot that not every student had his courage and love for these creatures.

What was worse, Hagrid never considered the importance of exam-oriented education, and his course plans completely ignored exam goals such as O.W.L.s or N.E.W.T.s.

Students even spent a lot of time taking care of those completely useless Flobberworms and Blast-Ended Skrewts.

This led to more and more complaints from the students, especially those who valued grades. Hermione and her friends even gave up Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class in their sixth year.

He looked at Dumbledore and, after considering it for a moment, opened his mouth and said, "I recognize the academic abilities of these two."

"However, three years of teaching experience have made me realize that many times, knowing something yourself and teaching it to students are two completely different concepts."

"This is especially obvious for new professors."

"This problem does exist," Dumbledore said helplessly, "However, for new professors, there always has to be a growth process, which is unavoidable."

"It is unavoidable," Sebastian retorted, "But we can accelerate the growth process of the professors."

"For example, let the professors prepare a lesson plan in advance, and then gradually carry out teaching according to the content of the lesson plan."

Lesson plan?

This was another new term.

Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore looked at each other and asked Sebastian.

"Sebastian, can you explain in detail what a lesson plan is?"

"No problem!" Sebastian explained in detail.

"Specifically," Sebastian spoke eloquently, "The basic content of a lesson plan usually includes clear teaching objectives and requirements."

"For example, a schedule of class progress, detailed teaching steps, carefully selected teaching points and difficulties, a list of teaching aids to prepare, and reflections on the teaching effect after class."

"These elements together constitute a complete teaching plan, helping professors effectively implement the teaching plan in the classroom, which can ensure the continuity and effectiveness of teaching."

Sebastian took out his annual lesson plan and handed it to the two professors.

"This is the lesson plan I have written every year since I joined the job."

"The content on the lesson plan is not immutable. Every year, I make some minor adjustments based on the actual learning situation of the students."

"I think this method will be of great help to newly admitted professors. They can start preparing during the holidays, so they won't be flustered when teaching."

"What do you think?"

Professor McGonagall flipped through Sebastian's lesson plan, with an expression of approval on her face.

She said while browsing, "No wonder the students have always praised the Muggle Studies class. It turns out you have done so much meticulous preparation behind the scenes."

"You should have shared this method with everyone earlier, Sebastian."

"If new professors can prepare lesson plans in advance and use them to guide teaching, it can indeed adapt to teaching life more quickly."

"In addition," Professor McGonagall's eyes lit up, "I think this method is not only applicable to new professors, but also to old professors."

At the same time, Dumbledore stroked his long beard thoughtfully, his brow furrowed slightly.

"However…" he said slowly, with a hint of hesitation in his tone, "In that case, the workload of the professors may increase greatly. After all, writing lesson plans is not an easy task."

Hehe!

That's exactly what I wanted you to say!

A barely noticeable smile appeared on the corner of Sebastian's mouth, and he took the opportunity to say.

"You're right, Headmaster, so I've been thinking that our professor team should probably be expanded."
