4. Our lesson observations revealed that in classes run by
effective teachers, pupils are clear about what they
are doing and why they are doing it. They can see
links with earlier learning and have some ideas about
how it could be developed further. The pupils want to
know more.

5. Principles of good lesson design
07 October 2012 Subject Application Studies DT/E
6. Key elements of good lesson plans
Good lesson plans usually have:
• lesson objectives which can be shared with pupils;
• a clear structure for the lesson;
• brief notes on key questions and teaching points;
• brief notes on specific activities;
• brief notes relating to needs of individuals or groups (for example, SEN or G&T);
• a note of how any additional support will be used;
• reference to subject issues, for example developing vocabulary;
• references to relevant resources;
• an indication of any homework to be set.

7. Learning, not doing
“Educational objectives cannot be stated in terms of what pupils will be doing, such as
working through an exercise or drawing a map. These are activities used to promote
learning. The educational objectives must describe what is to constitute the learning.
One of the major pitfalls in teaching is to neglect thinking precisely about educational
objectives and to see planning as simply organising activities. While the two go hand-in-
hand, it is all too easy to think that a lesson that went well logistically was effective (i.e.
the pupils did what you intended) until you ask yourself what the pupils actually learned.”
