Lesson Planning • Start at the end • What are your objectives? What should students be able to do at the end of the class? • Use DOK/Bloom’s for ideas • Build your lesson around the objectives • Brainstorm activities that relate to the objective
What are the steps? • Warm-up/Motivation • Presentation • Practice (Guided Practice) • Application (Independent Practice) • Evaluation
Warm-up/Motivation • Introduce the topic • Create interest in the topic • Activate prior knowledge • Review previous learning • Establish objectives
Presentation • News skills explained • Comprehension monitored using multiple strategies • Teacher talk • Passive learning
Practice (Guided Practice) • Learners are provided opportunities to practice the new knowledge • Controlled activities
Application (Independent Practice) • Learners complete authentic tasks that connect learning to the world beyond the classroom • Apply information to a new situation • Use learning for “real” reasons
Evaluation • Activity aligns to the objectives to determine learner progress • Performance activity • Ensures students have met the objective
Think about it! • Why would this approach be practical? • How do we find a balance between each part of the lesson?
Your turn! • Create a lesson plan for an upcoming class that you will be teaching. • When finished, share with a partner. Discuss what you like and what you might change about your partner’s lesson. Are each of the parts included?
Wrap-up • Do you have any issues with planning a lesson using this template? Why? • How can you modify this lesson planning template to meet your planning and classroom needs? • What will you do differently in the future as you prepare for classes?
