13. Making Sense of the Mess…
Cress’ Approach to Standard-Based
Planning:
• Devise a planning system that
works for you
• Consider a larger period of time
(e.g. a semester or a full year)
• Map out the themes you would
like to focus on within that period
of time
• Map out the lessons you would
like to focus on within those
particular themes

14. Making Sense of the Mess…
• Map out the media exploration
you would like to focus on within
those particular lessons
• Map out the resources and
historical and contemporary artists
you would like to reference within
each of those lessons
• Take a close look at each
individual lesson and consider
which standards, GLEs and DOKs
they address
• Ask, “Am I doing my part?”

15. Let’s Look at a Concrete Example…
While watching the following video jot down
your notions regarding the following:
• What learning occurred before this?
• What learning will occur after this?
• What are the short-term goals?
• What are the long-term goals?

16. Let’s Practice…
In pairs, devise a lesson plan both of you would
consider implementing during student teaching. It can
involve any assortment of media and technique and
can be geared towards an age group of your choosing.
• Summarize the lesson
• Summarize your short-term goals
• Summarize your long-term goals
• List the standards you will address
