LESSON PLAN

LESSON PLAN
Good educational planning is characterized
by:
1) Carefully specified instructional
objectives
2) Teaching actions and strategies designed
to promote the prescribed objectives
3) Careful measurements of outcomes
particularly students achievement

LESSON PLAN
Purpose:
Lesson plans are not written for teachers
to read to the class
To structure the lesson and to help with the
flow of the class

LESSON PLAN
Teaching planning must span over:
1) Before instruction (pre instructional
phase)
2) During instruction (interactive phase)
3) After instruction (post instructional phase)

THINKING PARTS
- Lesson plans are first of all a thinking
process
- This thinking process basically is completed
in four parts

THINKING PARTS
1) Determine the curriculum - what the
children will learn, what they will be able
to do upon completing the activities or
work of the lesson
2) Determine what the students already know

THINKING PARTS
3) Determine at least one way to assist the
students in learning the new curriculum
4) Determine at least one way to evaluate the
learning outcomes of the students.

3 BASIC QUESTIONS:
1) Where are your students going?
2) How are they going to get there?
3) How will you know when they've arrived?
