LESSON PLANNING

·
- 1. Goal
  - A well-designed course will specify the number of goals. The first step in a lesson would be to acknowledge the way in which your lesson is designed to contribute to such goals.
2. Objectives
- State explicitly what you want students to gain from the lesson.
- Are most clearly captured in terms of stating what students will do: what they will perform.
- Two kinds of objectives:
  - Terminal objectives: final learning outcomes that teachers will be responsible for assessing.
  - Enabling objectives: interim steps within a lesson that build upon each other and ultimately to a term objective.
3. Materials and equipment
- Good planning includes knowing what you need to take with you to arrange to have in your classroom.
4. Procedures
- A plan has to include:
  - a. An opening statement or activity
  - b. A set of activities and techniques in which you have considered appropriate proportions of time for whole-class work.
  - c. Closure
5. Assessment
- Teachers need to determine whether students' objectives are accomplished.
- If teachers don't have an assessment, they will only make assumptions by observation or measurement.
Format of a lesson plan
Guidelines for lesson planning
- How to begin planning
  - The first step of lesson planning is already performed: choosing what to teach.
  - For teachers who had never teach: Write a script of your lesson plan which includes your exact anticipated words.
- You need to check if the lesson holds together as a whole. Take these considerations:
  - If there's sufficient variety
  - If the sequences or techniques are sequenced logically
  - If the lesson is adequately whole paced
  - If the lesson has an appropriate amount of time, considering the time allowed.
- Individual differences
  - A teacher needs to take into consideration the variety of abilities in the students. Especially those who are well below or well above in the classroom norm.
