1) The document discusses the anatomy of a lesson plan, which typically includes a learner analysis, content analysis, goals and objectives, lesson procedure, and assessment and evaluation.
2) A learner analysis involves understanding how students learn and their individual learning styles, intelligence, experiences, and more.
3) A content analysis examines the subject matter, prerequisite skills, common misconceptions, and gap between student background and required content knowledge.
4) The most important part of the process is formative assessment and reflection, where instructors consider what worked, what didn't, and how to improve future lessons to better reach all students.
Lesson Planning - An Overview of the ImportanceBeth Sockman
This is a basic presentation of the purpose of lesson planning. The Third slides uses the "Jain Story" - Story: A Jain version of the story:
Six blind men were asked to determine what an elephant looked like by feeling different parts of the elephant's body.
The blind man who feels a leg says the elephant is like a pillar; the one who feels the tail says the elephant is like a rope; the one who feels the trunk says the elephant is like a tree branch; the one who feels the ear says the elephant is like a hand fan; the one who feels the belly says the elephant is like a wall; and the one who feels the tusk says the elephant is like a solid pipe.
A wise man explains to them:
"All of you are right. The reason every one of you is telling it differently is because each one of you touched the different part of the elephant. So, actually the elephant has all the features you mentioned."[1]
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_men_and_an_elephant
Remember - “lesson planning can be like feeling parts of the elephant. If you do not understand the whole, you only understand the part - the the particular lesson plan…”

This presentation clarifies what formative assessment is. The purpose and intention of formative assessment on improving student learning is emphasized. The different techniques on conducting formative assessment inside the classroom are provided.
The aims and objectives of this presentation is to identify different learning styles
To explore how interactive teaching strategies support all learners
To share practical ideas for whole class teaching

Slow Down with Tech: A Morsel of Mindfulness in the ClassroomBeth Sockman
Technology is synonymous for faster speeds. It doesn’t have to be! With technology to scaffold us, we can learn to slow down, build attention and lower stress. At the end of a 75 minutes interactive session, participants will be able to describe mindful reflection, have practice with some free apps/websites, and will get resources and research for continued growth.
AECT - Systems Thinking & Change 2015 MiniMagBeth Sockman
This minimag is an overview of the topics covered in the 2015- AECT Conference for the Division on Systems Thinking and Change. In this PDF you will see division conference details, get information on the name change and policy brief, and meet some of the people involved.
Systemic Framework Supports Sustainability: University – Elementary School P...Beth Sockman
When applying for grants, funders often require sustaining plans beyond the project’s funding period. Systemic theory provides a framework for sustainability through analysis of the systems that influence the interventions’ effectiveness proposed by the grant. This presentation reviews a specific grant, Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA), that uses a systemic theory framework to inform implementation. The VISTA grant funds collaboration between a university and an elementary school focused on raising academic achievement with children living in poverty.
This is a checklist for teachers that want to engage their students with the apps to use in the classroom. You want to decide if the app is a skill or creation app. Then, identify the ways you and the app can increase engagement.

Writing with Digital Comics: It’s Serious Fun! Beth Sockman
When creating comics, students critically think about content in a way that is naturally fun! Digital comics can increase that natural value. In this session you will learn about different digital comic makers, creation/reflection processes, and how digital comic creation aligns with the Common Core. Bring your own laptop or digital device if you have one, but it is not necessary.

The REAL Reason to Use Technology in SchoolsBeth Sockman
Teachers are encouraged to use technology for many different reasons, but the truth: we are morally and ethically bound to help all learners succeed! Better yet, WE BELIEVE that all students are intelligent in some way. It is not if you are intelligent; it is HOW are you intelligent. The converging dynamics of learning research and technology can help more students succeed even if our schools were created for the industrial age.
21st Century Innovative Teacher’s Development - PETE&C2014Beth Sockman
A small minority become 21st century teachers with learner-centered classrooms. This study examines 7 of those teachers and their perceptions of development, coming from 4 ubiquitous computing schools with SES differences. Using findings, participants better understand innovative teacher needs and envisage further work on teacher development.
3. PURPOSE Day to day lessons that make up a whole Small piece of a big picture Lesson plan – USED for all instruction
4. WHY Practice Lesson Planning? At the university you write long plans! Reality - never have time to do a full lesson plan! Goal: Planning becomes automatic for any learning crisis!
5. Anatomy of a Lesson Plan Some sort of .. (may call it different things) Analysis - Learner analysis & Content Analysis Goals & Objectives Lesson Procedure Assessment&evaluation Reflection – MOST don’t ask, but the BEST part! Each of these things can be broken into little parts… Let’s look at the parts
6. Learner Analysis How do people learn? Personal Filter Environment & Experience Cognitive Style Learning Style Intelligence Psychological Variables Physical Variables VARK Multiple Intelligence Personality Content….
7. Content Analysis Subject – Discipline What are the entry skills? What does it mean to understand the content? What do learners usually understand? What are the misconceptions about the content?
12. Assessment/Evaluation Formative Determine what the students understand PURPOSE: YOU CAN MODIFY instruction. Summative Give the learners a grade. Usually entails quantitative analysis. Report Cards PSSA Annual yearly review Student Performance Goal
19. Who or what can help me to improve?IMPROVED STUDENT LEARNING!
20. Review Which part of the lesson planning process encourages the instructor to be proactive create positive learning experiences for students? Summative Evaluation Gaining students attention Learner analysis
21. Review Which part of the lesson planning process encourages the instructor to create a proactive positive learning experiences for students? Summative Evaluation Gaining students attention Learner analysis

If you do not understand the whole, you only understand the part - the the particular lesson plan…”
Before we asked, “how do students learn, we we identified - many things about learning styles, multiple intelligence, personality, etc. Now, we put that all together in a lesson and think of it as the learner analysis. The learner must filter the new content through…So we do a content analysis
Later you will complete a PPT just on goals and objectives

Many places combine formative and summative, but#1 they should not be confused. Formative evaluation is the #1way to change instruction. Image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/archeon/2941655917/
