LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE
Section 1: Lesson Preparation
Teacher Candidate Name:
Grade Level:
Date:
Unit/Subject:
Instructional Plan Title:
Lesson Summary and Focus:
In 2-3 sentences, summarize the lesson, identifying the central
focus based on the content and skills you are teaching.
Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping:
Describe the important classroom factors (demographics and
environment) and student factors (IEPs, 504s, ELLs, students
with behavior concerns, gifted learners), and the effect of those
factors on planning, teaching, and assessing students to
5. facilitate learning for all students. This should be limited to 2-3
sentences and the information should inform the differentiation
components of the lesson.
National/State Learning Standards:
Review national and state standards to become familiar with the
standards you will be working with in the classroom
environment.
Your goal in this section is to identify the standards that are the
focus of the lesson being presented. Standards must address
learning initiatives from one or more content areas, as well as
align with the lesson’s learning targets/objectives and
assessments.
Include the standards with the performance indicators and the
standard language in its entirety.
Specific Learning Target(s)/Objectives:
Learning objectives are designed to identify what the teacher
intends to measure in learning. These must be aligned with the
standards. When creating objectives, a learner must consider the
following:
· Who is the audience
· What action verb will be measured during
instruction/assessment
· What tools or conditions are being used to meet the learning
What is being assessed in the lesson must align directly to the
objective created. This should not be a summary of the lesson,
6. but a measurable statement demonstrating what the student will
be assessed on at the completion of the lesson. For instance,
“understand” is not measureable, but “describe” and “identify”
are.
For example:
Given an unlabeled map outlining the 50 states, students will
accurately label all state names.
Academic Language
In this section, include a bulleted list of the general academic
vocabulary and content-specific vocabulary you need to teach.
In a few sentences, describe how you will teach students those
terms in the lesson.
Resources, Materials, Equipment, and Technology:
List all resources, materials, equipment, and technology you and
the students will use during the lesson. As required by your
instructor, add or attach copies of ALL printed and online
materials at the end of this template. Include links needed for
online resources.
7. Section 2: Instructional Planning
Anticipatory Set
Your goal in this section is to open the lesson by activating
students’ prior knowledge, linking previous learning with what
they will be learning in this lesson and gaining student interest
for the lesson. Consider various learning preferences
(movement, music, visuals) as a tool to engage interest and
motivate learners for the lesson.
In a bulleted list, describe the materials and activities you will
use to open the lesson. Bold any materials you will need to
prepare for the lesson.
For example:
· I will use a visual of the planet Earth and ask students to
describe what Earth looks like.
· I will record their ideas on the white board and ask more
questions about the amount of water they think is on planet
Earth and where the water is located.
Time Needed
Multiple Means of Representation
Learners perceive and comprehend information differently.
Your goal in this section is to explain how you would present
content in various ways to meet the needs of different learners.
For example, you may present the material using guided notes,
graphic organizers, video or other visual media, annotation
tools, anchor charts, hands-on manipulatives, adaptive
technologies, etc.
In a bulleted list, describe the materials you will use to
differentiate instruction and how you will use these materials
throughout the lesson to support learning. Bold any materials
you will need to prepare for the lesson.
For example:
8. · I will use a Venn diagram graphic organizer to teach students
how to compare and contrast the two main characters in the
read-aloud story.
· I will model one example on the white board before allowing
students to work on the Venn diagram graphic organizer with
their elbow partner.
Explain how you will differentiate materials for each of the
following groups:
· English language learners (ELL):
· Students with special needs:
· Students with gifted abilities:
· Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need
additional resources/support):
9. Time Needed
Multiple Means of Engagement
Your goal for this section is to outline how you will engage
students in interacting with the content and academic language.
How will students explore, practice, and apply the content? For
example, you may engage students through collaborative group
work, Kagan cooperative learning structures, hands-on
activities, structured discussions, reading and writing activities,
experiments, problem solving, etc.
In a bulleted list, describe the activities you will engage
students in to allow them to explore, practice, and apply the
content and academic language. Bold any activities you will use
in the lesson. Also, include formative questioning strategies and
higher order thinking questions you might pose.
For example:
· I will use a matching card activity where students will need to
find a partner with a card that has an answer that matches their
number sentence.
· I will model one example of solving a number sentence on the
white board before having students search for the matching
card.
· I will then have the partner who has the number sentence
explain to their partner how they got the answer.
Explain how you will differentiate activities for each of the
following groups:
10. · English language learners (ELL):
· Students with special needs:
· Students with gifted abilities:
· Early finishers (those students who finish early and may need
additional resources/support):
Time Needed
Multiple Means of Expression
Learners differ in the ways they navigate a learning
environment and express what they know. Your goal in this
section is to explain the various ways in which your students
will demonstrate what they have learned. Explain how you will
provide alternative means for response, selection, and
composition to accommodate all learners. Will you tier any of
these products? Will you offer students choices to demonstrate
mastery? This section is essentially differentiated assessment.
In a bulleted list, explain the options you will provide for your
students to express their knowledge about the topic. For
example, students may demonstrate their knowledge in more
summative ways through a short answer or multiple-choice test,
multimedia presentation, video, speech to text, website, written
sentence, paragraph, essay, poster, portfolio, hands-on project,
experiment, reflection, blog post, or skit. Bold the names of any
summative assessments.
11. Students may also demonstrate their knowledge in ways that are
more formative. For example, students may take part in thumbs
up-thumbs middle-thumbs down, a short essay or drawing, an
entrance slip or exit ticket, mini-whiteboard answers, fist to
five, electronic quiz games, running records, four corners, or
hand raising.Underline the names of any formative assessments.
For example:
Students will complete a one-paragraph reflection on the in-
class simulation they experienced. They will be expected to
write the reflection using complete sentences, proper
capitalization and punctuation, and utilize an example from the
simulation to demonstrate their understanding. Students w ill
also take part in formative assessments throughout the lesson,
such as thumbs up-thumbs middle-thumbs down and pair-share
discussions, where you will determine if you need to re-teach or
re-direct learning.
Explain how you will differentiate assessments for each of the
following groups:
· English language learners (ELL):
· Students with special needs:
· Students with gifted abilities:

16. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM PROPOSAL
Motivation at the place of work is essential because it affects
the contribution of employees towards organizational processes.
Emotions have a significant effect on the level of stimulation in
an organization. It is important to note that a human being is
emotional, and it is a challenge to separate emotions from a
human being. It is therefore essential for organizations to have
motivation strategies that impact the feelings of employees.
When an employee's emotions are neglected, the employee's
attitude can affect the organization's productivity. In this
respect, there is a dire need to know the essential role an
employee plays in an organization. Most of the operations and
activities that directly impact an organization's success revolve
around an employee, making an employee a critical figure. The
proposal will be connecting emotional intelligence to
motivation. At the same time, the request will recommend a
reward system to enhance motivation in an organization.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND MOTIVATION:
The Emotional Intelligence building blocks that would impact
management's ability to enhance employee performance and job
satisfaction.
Enhancing employee performance and job satisfaction have a
connection with emotional intelligence. However, three
emotional intelligence building blocks would help a
17. management team improve performance and job satisfaction
(Wen, Huang, & Hou, 2019). The building blocks are as
follows:
A. Self-management
Self-management pertains to knowing and understanding one's
emotions. Emotions have an impact on the way people react and
perceive things. People are different when it comes to emotions
and. In contrast, some people are good at managing their
feelings; there are a significant number of people who cannot
control their emotions (Khan, Masrek, & Nadzar, 2017).
However, there are various strategies that the management can
utilize to help employees manage their feelings. It is also
essential to note that factors destabilize a person's emotions
(Sun, Chen, & Jiang, 2017). An organization has the power to
implement motivation strategies that can help to deal with such
issues.
Self-management does not only affect an employee, but it also
affects the organization. An employee is an essential
stakeholder in an organization. Regardless of the strategies that
an organization has laid down, if employees cannot manage
their emotions, they will not benefit from their systems. The
emotions of an employee can affect his or her performance
(Khan et al., 2017). An employee with strong self-management
skills is likely to benefit from an organization's strategies. This
is because their emotions do not affect their judgment about the
motivation put in place (Sun et al., 2017). Also, employees with
stable emotions are easily satisfied when compared to
employees with emotional weaknesses.
B. Social awareness
Social awareness is the ability to know how to react and behave
when among others. Human beings are social, which means that
they establish relationships that affect their interactions with
their fellow humans. Social awareness affects the management's
ability to enhance performance and job satisfaction (Sun et al.,
2017). In an organization, employees play a crucial role, and in
many cases, the contribution of one employee might affect other
18. employees in one way or another. Enhancing performance
requires employees to read from the same script. Collaborations
and teamwork come in place to improve performance and job
satisfaction. However, when an employee does not know how to
relate with other employees, it becomes a challenge for the
organization to enhance its performance (Khan et al., 2017).
The reason behind it is that employees need to come together to
improve performance. The withdrawal or nonparticipant of some
of the employees due to their emotional weaknesses affects the
workplace environment, thus adversely impacting job
satisfaction (Sun et al., 2017). It is no doubt that social
awareness can stand in the way when an organization wants to
enhance performance and job satisfaction.
C. Relationship management
Relationship management is one of the components of emotional
intelligence. A person can connect with others and form
relationships (Tagoe & Quarshie, 2017). At the workplace,
relationships have the power to change the working environment
from worst to best. The management of an organization should
have good working relationships with the employees. A good
working relationship establishes an environment that is
motivating (Khan et al., 2017). However, the lack of a good
working relationship between the employees and the
management affects the management and the working
environment (Sun et al., 2017). In this respect, the lack of a
good relationship between the government and employees
adversely affects employees' performance. Also, it affects job
satisfaction. When people are not on good terms at work, they
are likely to be frustrated and dissatisfied with their jobs.
Motivational theory
Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory is the most applicable in this
proposal. The theory is broad, and it has looked at the ways of
triggering a person's emotions positively with the main aim of
enhancing his or her performance (Alshmemri, Shahwan-Akl, &
Maude, 2017). The theory revolves around five features that
affect satisfaction. The parts are advancement, responsibility,
19. the job, recognition, and achievement. One of the theory's
advantages is that it brings together almost all aspects that other
motivation theories have focused on. When dealing with an
issue within an organization, the five features come in handy.
The first step is to help employees make achievements
(Alshmemri et al., 2017). In this case, rewards come in handy.
Rewards can be in the form of tangible gifts or education
grants. The second feature is responsibility. In this case, the
best thing to do is assign duties to employees. When faults are
given to employees, employees feel valued, which affects their
motivation and satisfaction levels.
The type of job that employees engage in affects their levels of
motivation and satisfaction. When the job is appealing and
decent, employees are motivated to work harder. At the same
time, they are satisfied. Recognition is the act of acknowledging
an employee for their contribution (Alshmemri et al., 2017).
When an employee is recognized, the employee feels
appreciated, which is enough to motivate them to work harder.
In this case, the best method would be to acknowledge
employees for what they have done (Alshmemri et al., 2017).
For example, an organization might post the best employee of
the month on the notice board. The action could motivate other
employees to work hard so that they can get the same attention.
The fifth feature is an achievement (Alshmemri et al., 2017).
Apart from working to earn a salary, employees want to make
achievements. In this case, the best strategy could be to offer
education grants and other benefits to an employee. Also,
promotions come in handy. When an employee receives a
promotion from an organization, they feel that they have
attained a new level of achievement, impacting their
commitment to organizational processes and operations.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND SOCIAL SKILLS AND
DECISION MAKING:
The core concepts would enhance the decision-making efficacy
if the organization understood employees' emotional
intelligence strengths and weaknesses. The decisions that an
20. organization makes have an impact on the employees. At the
same time, employees are affected by emotions (Khan et al.,
2017). When the organization understands the employees'
emotional response, it makes decisions that suit all employees.
On the contrary, if the organization does not know and
understand the employees' emotional strengths and weaknesses,
it might make decisions that will increase conflicts as opposed
to bringing sanity and order in an organization (Sun et al.,
2017).
EFFECTIVE TEAMS
An effective team must have good working relationships. Good
working relationships mean that employees can relate and
communicate about work matters. Respect is also an attribute
that is paramount in an effective team. Members within the
group must respect each other (Khan et al., 2017).
Communication must be at its best level. Effectiveness does not
come without smooth and effective communication. When team
members can communicate frequently, it becomes possible for
them to tackle issues as soon as they emerge. The best strategy
to implement a dynamic team is promoting democracy and
openness among the team members. When team members are
given the power to air their views, they become free and
satisfied. Also, team members must be allowed to participate in
the process of making decisions.
REWARD SYSTEMS
The reward system that will be designed in this case takes after
Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory features. The strategies that will
be used will have an impact on the behaviors of employees. The
following are areas of focus:
1. Achievement: The organization will be rewarding employees
who perform better every month. There will be targets to meet
whereby they will be focusing on teams and individuals. Teams
that perform well will be rewarded.
2. Recognition: Employees who perform better in their
respective departments will be recognized. Every month, their
names and pictures will be placed on the notice board. They
21. will also be considered for promotions and essential
assignments.
3. The job itself: The working environment will be made better.
The organization will provide all resources that employees need
to be productive. The strategy will help to motivate employees.
4. Responsibility: Employees who will demonstrate the ability
to lead others will be assigned to specific projects. The main
aim is to confirm that the organization respects their input.
5. Advancement: Promotions will be taking place as soon as an
employee does better. The organization will work with other
branches. If other organizations need high positions, employees
from the organization will be promoted to such positions.
