                Make sure it includes the eight essential components of a strong, effective lesson plan and you’ll be on your way to achieving every teacher’s goal: measurable student learning.

 

  1. 1.Objectives and Goals

        The lesson’s objectives must be clearly defined and in lined with district and/or state educational standards.

 

  1. 2.Anticipatory Set

        Before dig into the meat of your lesson’s instruction, set the stage for your students by tapping into their prior knowledge and giving the objectives a context.

 

  1. 3.Direct Instruction

        When writing your lesson plan, this is the section where you explicitly delineate how you will present the lesson’s concepts to your students.

 

  1. 4.Guided Practice

        Under your supervision, the students are given a chance to practice and apply the skills you taught them through direct instruction.

 

  1. 5.Closure

        In the closure section, outline how you will wrap up the lesson by giving the lesson concepts further meaning for your students.

 

  1. 6.Independent Practice

Through homework assignments or other independent assignments, your students will demonstrate whether or not they absorbed the lesson’s learning goals.

 

  1. 7.Required Materials and Equipments

        Here, you determine what supplies are required to help your students achieve the stated lesson objectives.

 

  1. 8.Assessment and Follow-up

        The lesson doesn’t end after your students complete a worksheet. The assessment section is one of the most important parts of all.
