Designing a lesson plan requires an understanding of each component of lesson planning and its purpose in the overall structure of learning. Each lesson plan component is necessary for planning a lesson that is well thought-out, organized, and meets the needs of all students. Lesson plan development requires knowledge of standards, classroom data, and a vision for learning outcomes.
Select a free screencasting tool or software to record a 4-5-minute screencast explaining the sections and requirements of the “COE Lesson Plan Template” to a colleague who struggles with lesson planning. Include the following in your video:
- Discussion of scaffolded instruction and the role of the learning cycle (preassessment, instruction, assessment, review of data, reteaching, reflection) in creating developmentally appropriate instruction.
- Brief description of each component of the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” including why each section is essential to the overall plan: (classroom and student factors/grouping, standards, objectives, anticipatory set, means of representation, means of engagement, means of expression, differentiation, extension activity/homework).
- Importance of alignment between state standards, objectives, learning activities, and assessments.
- How assessment data inform lesson planning and examples of what data could be used.
