1. LESSON PLANNING.
Bob Kizlik
Lesson planning...who needs it, or
needs to know how to do it? Well,
maybe, just maybe you do!
Lesson planning is a special skill that is
learned in much the same way as
other skills
2. • When you are able to create your
own lesson plans, it means you have
taken a giant step toward "owning"
the content you teach and the
methods you use, and that is a good
thing.
3. • Knowing "how to" is far more
important than knowing "about" .
• you should learn to plan lessons in
more than one way. The corollary is,
of course, that there is no one "best
way" to plan lessons.
4. • The old adage, "Practice doesn't
make perfect; perfect practice makes
perfect" is at the core of learning this
skill.
• Think of a lesson plan as a way of
communicating, and without doubt,
effective communication skills are
fundamental to all teaching. Lesson
plans also help new or inexperienced
teachers organize content, materials,
and methods.
5. • you'll get better at it the more you
do it and think of ways of improving
your planning and teaching based on
feedback (from your students, their
parents, and other teachers) In your
case from your classmates and
teachers.
6. PURPOSE
• Daily Lesson Plans
• Lesson plans are not written for
teachers to read to the class. They
are used to structure the lesson and
to help with the flow of the class.
7. • Thinking Parts
• Lesson plans are first of all a thinking process.
This thinking process basically is completed in
four parts.
• First, determine the curriculum; that is, what the
children will learn, what they will be able to do
upon completing the activities or work of the
lesson.
• Second, determine what the students already
know, before beginning the lesson, that can lead
into the new curriculum of the day.
• Third, determine ways to assist the students in
learning the new curriculum.
• Fourth, determine at least one way to evaluate
the learning outcomes of the students.
8. PROCESS
• There are a number of questions to be done to yourselves:
• 1. What are the inputs?
This means you have the information (content
description, student characteristics, list of materials,
prerequisites, time estimates, etc.) necessary to begin
the plan.
• 2
•
9. • 2. What is the output? This means a
description of what the students are supposed
to learn.
3. What do I do? This means a description of
the instructional activities you will use.
4. What do the students do? This means a
description of what the students will do
during the lesson.
5. How will the learning be measured? This
means a description of the assessment
procedure at the end of the lesson.
10. Summing up
• The lesson plan will be your guide
but it will never be a limit for your
teaching ideas on the contrary a
good lesson plan will be flexible and
full of students activities and
interactions.
