Lesson Planning Essential Components -1
The learning goal and expectations of the lesson (the what and the why)
Where are we going in this class? What is my focus??? Knowledge, Values, Skills…..
Consider: Prior knowledge How can I make the learning relevant? What are your expectations for student learning?

Lesson Planning Essential Components-2
The learning experience (the how) How will we get there?
What will I do?
What will the students do? (besides listen or copy?)

Lesson Planning Essential Components-3
On-going observation and assessment of student learning
How will I know that students learned what I intended them to learn?
What will I use to find out?

What do I want them to learn?
How will I know they have learned it?
How will I design the learning so that all will learn?
Planning with the End in Mind
Big Ideas
Broad Areas of Skills
Overall and Specific Expectations
Learning Goal

Questions to help focus planning:
How can I make the learning relevant and interesting
How will I consider perspectives from various cultures in order to honour the cultural diverisity of the students in my class?
How will I show respect for the privacy, personal beliefs and personality differences of my students?

Questions to help focus planning:
How can I make the classroom a safe place where all students feel they can take risks, contribute, and share in the decision-making processes?

Questions to help focus planning:
How do I ensure that all the students feel included in the class work regardless of race, ethnicity, language differences, ESL issues, cultural differences, religion, socioeconomic class, gender, sexual orientation, family values; preferred learning styles, and ability?

More Questions
For learning: Are students engaged in visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic activities?
Strategies: Is there variety?
Timing: Is there sufficient time allocated to each segment of the lesson?

Overview, Expectations and Rationale
Big Ideas– Always begin with the Big Ideas
Ministry Expectations– Consider which Ministry expectations the lesson
will address Student Learning Goals
– Use student friendly language to explain what the student will learn and do during the lesson
– “By the end of this lesson you will….”

Overview, Expectations and Rationale
Prior Knowledge– You can plan more effectively and use class time
more wisely if you consider what students already know
Rationale for Teaching and Learning Strategies– Why have I chosen the particular strategy that is
used? What makes it pedagogically sound?

The Learning Experience
3 part lesson plan– Minds On (Elicit and Engage)– Action (Explore, Explain)– Consolidation (Elaborate, Evaluate, Extend)
Next Steps

Minds On (Elicit and Engage)
One or two short activities which will focus student’s attention, stimulate their thinking, and access prior knowledge.
Why? This is the connection phase designed to focus students on learning, ‘learning to get ready”.

Action (Explore, Explain)
Provide an introduction to the main purpose of the lesson
Tell students upfront what they will be learning – called Learning Goals
Why?

Action (Explore, Explain)
Lesson “chunks” – Introduce new learning activities and/or tasks a small bit at a time
Why?
Give students opportunities to use the new knowledge, understanding, or skills
Why?

Consolidation (Elaborate, Evaluate, Extend)
Give students the opportunity to review the learning and to reflect on the learning process itself
Why?

Next Steps
CONSIDER: Is the homework meaningful follow up? Are students encouraged to make
conceptual connections outside the classroom?

Chalkboard Notes and Student Records
Student notebooks often reflect exactly what teachers have placed on the chalkboard
It is important that these notes are carefully planned in advance
What do I want my students to have in their notes?
What records of demos and discussions will they have in their notes.

Overall Summary of Main Ideas
Do the students know what to do? Are they doing it? How do you know they have learned? Assess Prior knowledge Ask vs. Tell (if you can) Make students work harder than you! Is there a place for each student in my
classroom? (“in my curriculum?”) This deals with equity, classroom management…...
