SIX STEPS TO EFFECTIVE LESSON PLANNING Expectations Pre-assessment Assessment
4. Content 5. Strategies 6. Reflections
EXPECTATIONS • Derived from current Ministry of Education Guidelines • Can be modified as appropriate to reflect a students’ current I.E.P.
PRE-ASSESSMENT • What do you know about the learners’ needs? • What needs to be done to make the learning environment suitable for the lesson? • What resources will be needed?
ASSESSMENT • Backward design • Tell the learner what he/she will know or be able to do at the end of the lesson. • Determine how the learners will demonstrate their learning. • Consider including choices to accommodate learning styles. • Try to integrate assessment with expectations from other subject areas.
CONTENT • Introduction – “hook” them! - See p.62 of Creating the Dynamic Classroom for some general motivation strategies • Establishing the Learning - model, model , model!
STRATEGIES • Move through the 4 Phases of Instruction - Motivation ( the hook) - New Learning ( model) - Consolidation ( use new learning in “near” contexts) - Application(s) ( use new learning in “far” or removed contexts) * Strategies can be accommodated for special needs.
REFLECTIONS • Were expectations achieved? • Were strategies effective? • What should be done differently next time? • Establish “next steps” for solidifying this learning.
