3. PLANNING AND PREPARING
•INDICATOR 43 – LESSONS WITHIN UNITS
•INDICATOR 42 – EFFECTIVE SCAFFOLDING OF
INFORMATION WITHIN LESSONS (DQ 2 , DQ 3, DQ 4)
Reflecting on Teaching
• Indicator 51 – Evaluating the
Effectiveness of Individual Lessons
and Units
10. STEP ONE:
KNOW HOW MANY TIMES YOU WILL SEE
STUDENTS. THIS WILL DETERMINE HOW MANY
LESSONS YOU WILL NEED.
11. STEP TWO:
LOOK AT CURRICULUM GUIDES* TO LAYOUT YOUR
YEARLY PLAN AND DETERMINE WHICH
TOPICS/UNITS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO COMPLETE
AND HOW MANY DAYS FOR EACH UNIT.
*Curriculum Guides based on Descubre el Español for Spanish
12. STEP THREE:WHAT SHOULD THE STUDENTS KNOW AND BE ABLE TO DO?
DETERMINE THE VOCABULARY AND
STRUCTURES YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO WITH
THE SCHEDULE YOU HAVE
Consider time with students per lesson, time between lessons
13. STEP FOUR:
GATHER YOUR RESOURCES (STANDARDS
DOCUMENT, “CAN DO” STATEMENTS,
DESCUBRE, ETC.) TO MAP OUT YOUR DAILY
LESSONS SKELETON

17. INDICATOR 42 – EFFECTIVE
SCAFFOLDING OF
INFORMATION WITHIN
LESSONS
(DQ 2, DQ 3, DQ4)
18. WHAT WILL I DO TO DEVELOP
EFFECTIVE LESSONS ORGANIZED
INTO A COHESIVE UNIT?
19. LESSON DESIGN ELEMENTS
1. SEGMENTS THAT WILL MOST LIKELY BE PART OF EVERY LESION (ROUTINE
COMPONENTS) (DQ 1, DQ 6)
2. SEGMENTS THAT FOCUSES ON CONTENT (DQ 2, DQ 3, DQ 4)
3. SEGMENTS THAT ADDRESS ACTIONS THAT MUST BE TAKEN ON THE SPOT
(DQ 5, DQ 7, DQ 8, DQ 9)
20. PLAN FOR LESSON SEGMENTS THAT
WILL BE ROUTINE COMPONENTS OF
EVERY LESSON
• DQ 1: What will I do to establish and communicate learning
goals, track student progress and celebrate success?
• DQ 6: What will I do to establish or maintain classroom
rules and procedures?
Action Step ONE
21. PLAN FOR LESSON SEGMENTS THAT
WILL BE ROUTINE COMPONENTS OF
EVERY LESSON
• What procedures and routines will be used? Will
students be reminded or specific rules and
procedures or will new ones be established?
• Will students be reminded or already established
learning goal, or will new goal be set?
• How will I track student progress?
• Will students be provided with some form of
recognition for progress on their learning goals?
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF
22. 2. PLAN FOR CONTENT SPECIFIC
LESSON SEGMENTS (3 TYPES)
#1 DQ 2: What will I do to help students effectively interact
with new knowledge?
#2 DQ 3: What will I do to help students practice and deepen
their understanding of new knowledge?
#3 DQ 4: What will I do to help students generate and test
hypotheses about new knowledge?
Action Step TWO – The majority of lesson time is spent here!

25. CRITICAL INPUT EXPERIENCES
AKA WHAT THE TEACHER DOES
Visual – 77%*
*Percent of information recalled one year after completion of Unit
Dramatic– 57%*
Verbal– 53%*
26. STEP ONE: IDENTIFY A VARIETY OF
POSSIBLE CRITICAL INPUT EXPERIENCES
FOR THE FOLLOWING LEARNING GOAL
VISUAL DRAMATIC VERBAL
Each Learning Goal should have 2-3 (related) critical input experiences
Learning Goal:Learning Goal:
Students will be able to introduce themselves using basicStudents will be able to introduce themselves using basic
culturally appropriate greetings and memorized expressionsculturally appropriate greetings and memorized expressions
29. 8. Previewing New Content
The teacher engages students in activities that help them link what they
already know to the new content about to be addressed and facilitates
these linkages.
Teacher Evidence
Teacher uses preview question before reading
Teacher uses K-W-L strategy or variation of it
Teacher asks or reminds students what they already know about the topic
Teacher provides an advanced organizer
•Outline
•Graphic organizer
Teacher has students brainstorm
Teacher uses anticipation guide
Teacher uses motivational hook/launching activity
•Anecdotes
•Short selection from video
Teacher uses word splash activity to connect vocabulary to upcoming content

31. Based on student needs, the teacher breaks the content into small
chunks (i.e. digestible bites) of information that can be easily
processed by students.
Teacher Evidence
Teacher stops at strategic points in a verbal presentation
While playing a video tape, the teacher turns the tape off at key junctures
While providing a demonstration, the teacher stops at strategic points
While students are reading information or stories orally as a class, the
teacher stops at strategic points
Student Evidence
When asked, students can explain why the teacher is stopping at various
points
Students appear to know what is expected of them when the teacher stops
at strategic points
9. Chunking Content & 10. Processing with
Students
32.
33. Learning Goal:
Students will be able to
introduce themselves using
basic culturally appropriate
greetings and memorized
expressions
34. The teacher asks questions or engages students in activities that
require elaborative inferences that go beyond what was explicitly
taught.
Teacher Evidence
Teacher asks explicit questions that require students to make elaborative
inferences about the content
Teacher asks students to explain and defend their inferences
Teacher presents situations or problems that require inferences
Student Evidence
Students volunteer answers to inferential questions
Students provide explanations and “proofs” for inferences
11. Elaborating on New Information
35. The teacher engages students in activities that help them record their
understanding of new content in linguistic ways and/or represent the
content in nonlinguistic ways.
Teacher Evidence
Teacher asks students to summarize the information they have learned
Teacher asks students to generate notes that identify critical information in the content
Teacher asks students to create nonlinguistic representations for new content
•Graphic organizers
•Pictures
•Pictographs
•Flow charts
Teacher asks students to create mnemonics that organize the content
Student Evidence
Students’ summaries and notes include critical content
Students’ nonlinguistic representations include critical content
When asked, students can explain main points of the lesson
