- you’re working on your teaching credential or being reviewed by an administrator or evaluator, you will often need to write out a lesson plan during you teaching career.
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.Objectives and Goals
The lesson’s objectives must be clearly defined and in lined with district and/or state educational standards.
- 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.
- 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.
- 4.Guided Practice
Under your supervision, the students are given a chance to practice and apply the skills you taught them through direct instruction.
- 5.Closure
In the closure section, outline how you will wrap up the lesson by giving the lesson concepts further meaning for your students.
- 6.Independent Practice
Through homework assignments or other independent assignments, your students will demonstrate whether or not they absorbed the lesson’s learning goals.
- 7.Required Materials and Equipments
Here, you determine what supplies are required to help your students achieve the stated lesson objectives.
- 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.
