Instructional
planning
It is defined as
 Visualizing: the ability to visualize the future
classroom events.
 Guidance: provides the guide that assists in
creating o flow of events that has a starting and
ending point.
 Managing: a way of managing time and event.
 Decision making: Allows one to make decisions
about the hows and whats of teaching based on
three primary considerations.
1. the students prior learning experiences
2. The content derived from curriculum guides,
textbooks, teacher-developed material.
Functions of instructional
planning
 To give an overview of instructions
 To facilitate good management of
instruction
 To make learning purposeful
 To economize time
 To provide a variety of instructional
activities
Principles of instructional
planning
 Understand the rational of the course in the
context of the goals of the school or district
 Determine what context should be adapted in view
of the objectives
 Classify the focus of the course
 Decide how much time to spend on each topic
 Determine if there is the special need for the
course- special learners, instructional program
 Identify the important components: content,
concepts, skills and values
Objectives of instructional
planning
To achieve
Aims :it is the most general
objective of the instructional
planning.
Goals: it is the description of
general objective of school
curricula.

Time Framing
Working as a teacher requires
excellent time management skills.
Teachers need to balance the long-
term goals of the classroom, the
immediate educational needs of the
students and the large volume of
paperwork that comes with every
assignment.
Lesson of Framing
 what students will be doing/learning in class
today,
AND
 What students will be able to do with that
knowledge.
 This strategy is called “framing” the lesson
because it includes both parts at the beginning
and the end To frame the lesson, the teacher
gives the students a clear picture of the lesson.
Five Effective Time Framing
Tips
 Organize the day by priorities
Teacher time management must start with
setting priorities and organizing the day
around the most important tasks. Setting
priorities can help keep teachers on track
throughout the day.
 Strategically plan homework assignments
Both teachers and students may find that
assignments that require repetitive practice is
better suited for the home environment
 Avoid “loaded” procrastination
Teachers find it more efficient to break up
grading materials into small groups that are
graded each day than to work on grading
the work of the entire class on the same
day.
 Plan for potential crises
It is better to plan ahead for potential
problems before facing them in the
classroom, as urgent crises can distract
teachers from their goals within the
classroom.
Set aside personal time
A teacher has many tasks
that require attention and
often focuses on the needs of
students and their parents it is
also important to set aside
personal time to keep the
priorities in proper
perspective.
Daily Learning Objective(s)
 Some tips for the daily learning
objective:
 Use “student friendly” language to write
the objective.
 Post the objective in the classroom
where students can see.
 Discuss the objective at the beginning of
the lesson.
 Make sure the objective is reasonable to
complete in one lesson or class
Power zone
 Working in the “power zone” means
teaching or monitoring in close
proximity to students.
 When a teacher engages in this practice,
every other instructional practice is
enhanced and made more powerful and
no time is wasted.
 On-task behaviors increase
 Discipline issues decrease
 Student retention of content improves
The “power zone” does
typically NOT include…
 The teacher work area (behind
the desk, or at the computer).
 The lecture position (at the
front center of the room).
Benefits of teaching in the
“power zone”
Classroom Management
 Address unwanted behaviors
immediately.
 Manage transitions.
Tips to Recognize & Reinforce Positive
Behaviors:
 Create a list of the specific student behaviors or
accomplishments you want to encourage.
 When students use these desired behaviors, praise them
sincerely and credibly.
 Specify the praiseworthy aspects of the student’s
accomplishments.
 Help students appreciate their own thinking and
problem-solving.
 Attribute student success to effort and ability,
 implying that similar successes can be expected in the
future through a similar work ethic.
“Standards do not ensure student
achievement, teachers with strong
knowledge and skill about how to
help students reach the standards
will impact achievement”.
- Mike Schomker Focus, 2011
