The document discusses the importance of effective lesson planning for teachers. It outlines key elements that should be included in a strong lesson plan such as objectives, materials, introduction, presentation of new material, guided and independent practice, closure, and evaluation. A good lesson plan provides structure for teachers and students, keeps all parties on track to meet objectives, and enhances student achievement. Careful planning is important to avoid issues and ensure a successful learning experience.

 ACTIVITIES FOR ALL

12. BEFORE PLANNING A LESSON
 Identification of relevant standards
 Transform standards for students:
 Describe what needs to happen to meet
expectations
 Help students identify what is important
 Specify (and differentiate) knowledge and
learning skills

with feedback

14. A GOOD LESSON INCLUDES
 Objectives/SLOs
 Pre-assessment
 List of materials/RESOURSES
 Warm-up and introduction/opening
 Presentation of New material
 Practice
 Evaluation
 Closure
 Application

15. A VISION OF TEACHING
 Connect the dots in the puzzle using only four straight
lines without lifting your pen/pencil off of the paper.
How does this relate to our teaching?

16. LET’S BEGIN…
 The format of a
lesson should..
 Go one step at a time
 Have a picture for
every step
 Have a minimal
reliance on words
An effective lesson plan is a set of plans for building something –
it “constructs” the learning.

17. PRE-ASSESSMENT
 What are the characteristics of the learners in the
class?
 What do the students already know and
understand?
 How do my students learn best?
 What modifications in instruction might I need to
make?

18. OBJECTIVES/ SLOs
 A description of what the student will be able to
do at the end of the lesson
 Use behavioral verbs to describe the expected
outcomes (ACTION)
 No-no’s: appreciate, enjoy, understand, love, etc.

19. MATERIALS
 Plan! Prepare! Have on hand!
 Murphy’s Law
 Envision your needs.
 List all resources.
 Have enough manipulative (when needed) for
groups or individuals.
