  1. Understanding Lesson Plans

  2. The THREE MAJOR Parts • Learning Objective • Learning Activities • Assessment

  3. LEARNING OBJECTIVE Objectives come from curriculum. LEARNING ACTIVITIES Activities that guide students in understanding the objective concept. ASSESSMENT A final test to see if students have mastered the objective.

  4. 1 The OBJECTIVE

  5. The Learning Objective • Objective refers to expected or intended student outcomes. • Objectives are specific knowledge, skills, or attitudes that students are expected to achieve by the end of a lesson. • Objectives are measurable.

  6. AN OBJECTIVE MUST HAVE THREE SPECIFIC PARTS: • An OBSERVABLE behavior • Behavior or activity to be performed by the student • What students will be able to do • A CONDITION • Describe conditions under which the student will perform the behavior. • How they will be able to do it • An ACCEPTABLE LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE • The evaluation; the test • Degree of accuracy observed

  7. The Objective – Part 1~ an OBSERVABLE behavior ~ • States the purpose of the lesson – including a verb that showshow learning is going to take place • The teacher will be able to actuallyJUDGEif students are meeting/demonstrating the verb. • DOK (Norman Webb’s Depth of Knowledge: 4 part circle of understanding) • Bloom’s Taxonomy Chart (Benjamin Bloom’s Chart: 6 part chart of thinking levels)

  8. The Objective – Part 2~ the condition ~ • Explain HOW the behavior will be performed. • Think of circumstances, commands, materials, and directions that the student will be given to perform the behavior. • Examples: HOW will students be working? • “working independently” • “in a small group” • “without a calculator” • “within 10-minutes”

  9. The Objective – Part 3~ an acceptable level of performance ~ • What degree of accuracy should be observed? • Examples of accuracy: • within two inches of accuracy. • to the nearest whole number. • with no more than two incorrect entries in the log.

  10. AN OBJECTIVE MUST HAVE THREE SPECIFIC PARTS:

  11. When writing objective statements, ask yourself these questions: • Does the objective focus on student performance? • Is the task measurable or observable? • What criteria will I use to establish that the objective has been reached?

  12. ~ Good to Know ~ • Avoid words like understand, learn, and know. They are not measurable because there is no product involved. • Sometimes the degree of accuracy is implied by words such as correctly and successfully. • Not all lessons result in a tangible product. Therefore, when students verbally demonstrate their learning, the measurable action involves telling, explaining, or discussing.

  13. Sample Objectives • Given a list of vowels, tswwill say the correct sounds at 30 sounds per minute with no more than 2 errors. • Given pictures of clock faces with the hands in any position, tsw will accurately state the correct time in “minutes after the hour” in 9 of 10 trials. • Given a two-step direction, tsw will promptly follow both directions 4 out of 5 times.

  14. Sample Objectives • Given four works of short fiction of contrasting genres, the student will analyze and match each work with its correct genre.

  15. Sample Objectives • Given four works of short fiction of contrasting genres, the student will analyze and match each work with its correct genre.

  16. Sample Objectives • Using the washingtonpost.com Web site, the student will correctly identify and print out two examples each of a news article and an editorial regarding a topical new item.

  17. Sample Objectives • Using the washingtonpost.com Web site, the student will correctly identify and print out two examples each of a news article and an editorial regarding a topical new item.

  18. Sample Objectives • Given twenty examples of incorrect verb tense usage, the student will identify and correct a minimum of sixteen instances.

  19. Sample Objectives • Given twenty examples of incorrect verb tense usage, the student will identify and correct a minimum of sixteen instances.

  20. Write a three part objective using the topic beside each number with 95 percent accuracy. • Adding two digit numbers, any grade • A kindergarten reading skill • A third grade science skill • A second grade social studies skill
