Essential Elements of Planning • (1) What do you want the students to learn? • Standards must be there – use CommonCore Standards if possible http://www.ksde.org/ • Follow USD #259 pacing guide • (2) How are you going to deliver it and differentiate for your students’ needs? • Consider the contextual factors • What instructional strategies will you use? • (3) How will you know they ‘got it’? (assessment)
Highly Effective Teachers • “They know how to design lessons to help students reach mastery.” (Wong, 2005) • Depth and alignment on non-observed plans • “Page 27” IS NOTa lesson plan • Moderation: TLW recognize the essential elements of expectations for writing lesson plans. Standard: NCTQ 2 The program requires teacher candidates to design and adjust instruction to enhance the academic performance of all students. Using visual and written examples with shoulder partner review. Assess by the lesson plan rubric score of 3 or more
Suggested Procedures • Organization • Reference CT’s model and his/her expectation of when he or she wants to review them. • US expectations-ask them • Resources, check out pages 80-81 MM • Daily routines pg. 77 MM • Long range semester plan for teaching handbook pg. 32-33
Suggested Procedures • Use your timewell Recognize that ALL planning and preparing cannot be completed between 8:50 a.m. and 4:20 p.m. for a novice teacher • Communicate • Ask questions; seek help; research and know curriculum resources • Be a professional • Planning and preparing is what effective teachers do before they teach
Closure • What are three essential things in ALL lessons? You and your CT tell each other: • Standards • Instructional strategies being used • Ways to assess the learning that occurred • Why Bother? “The Big Three: Preparation, Preparation, Preparation!” LouAnne Johnson, teacher & author of the book that inspired: Dangerous Minds
