The Essential Elements of Effective Lesson Planning
Not what you're looking for?
Every school district requires educators to supply detailed lesson plans for every subject that they are teaching. These lesson plans must reflect the current district and state curriculum goals. The lesson plans must have detailed instructions on how to teach the lesson properly and to determine if the lesson was effective.
Every lesson plan needs to include a well written learning objective (learning target). School supervisors often need written proof that a teacher has considered the district and state curriculum goals when planning the lesson. Lessons include thorough instructions, descriptions of assessments and a list of the learning tools that will be used.
I hope that you will find this solution useful for planning lessons for student teaching, for your coursework in college, or as a teacher preparing for an evaluation by a supervisor.
