Planning

2. WHAT IS A LESSON PLAN?

3. A LESSON PLAN IS:
 A model of organized learning events within a set
period of time or session
 A projection of real lesson filled with concrete
processes, assignments, and learning tools
 A blueprint on which to construct a learning
process made up of clearly stated goals and
objectives
 A tool that moves from theory to practice by
carrying out a methodological approach (based on
latest research)

5. WHY IS LESSON PLANNING IMPORTANT?
 The key to good teaching, purposeful class
management and the achievement of sustained
educational progress lies in effective preparation
and planning. (Butt, 2008)
 Consistent effective lesson planning is essential
for successful experiences in both teaching and
learning process. (Serdyukov and Ryan, 2008)

6. STAGES IN LESSON PLANNING

7. PREPARATION
 Who is to be taught?
 By knowing the learners, the desired outcome can be
determined and the teacher can identify the purpose
of the lesson.

8. DEVELOPMENT
 What is to be taught?
 This stage covers the substance of the lesson such as
subject matter, instructional goals, specific learning
objectives, concepts and skills.
 An effective activity or lesson plan begins with a
specific objective.

9. Bloom’s taxonomy
provides good
examples of
appropriate
action words to
use in learning
objectives. With
this, the learning
objective
becomes student-
focused and
outcomes
oriented.

10. IMPLEMENTATION
 How do you teach students?
 Methods or strategies employed
 Learning activities and methodological approach
 Materials and technology applications

11. REFLECTION
 Will/ Is my lesson plan effective?
 the teacher evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of
the lesson plan before implementing it and after it has
been delivered

12. TYPESOFLESSONPLAN
There are
different ways to
make a lesson
plan. But ALL
effective lesson
plans have
structure.
Description/
Introduction
• date, subject area,
topic, grade level
Goals and
Objectives
• may include
academic and
culturally relevant
content standards,
adaptations for
diverse populations
Materials
and Tools
• instructional
resources such as
texts, visuals,
handouts, etc.
• educational
technology
Procedures
• content presentation
and activities
Evaluation
• reflection and
assessment (tests,
quizzes, essays,
etc.

13. DETAILED LESSON PLAN
 The detailed lesson
plan has five parts:
 Objectives
 Subject Matter (topic,
references, materials)
 Procedure (motivation,
activity, routines,
lesson proper)
 Evaluation
 Assignment
 Everything is written
down like a script of a
play.
 It contains what the
teacher does and says
and what the students
are expected to say
and do.
 EXAMPLES

14. SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN
 Has all the components
of a detailed plan but
does not include a
complete description of
pupils’ activity.
 It contains the
important subject
matter and a description
of teaching-learning
activities. (Beltran,
1992)

15. BRIEF LESSON PLAN
 Only guide statements
or brief explanation of
the activities to be
performed in each part
are provided

16. UNDERSTANDING BY DESIGN
 Jay McTighe describes
UbD as a framework for
curriculum planning,
assessment by design and
ultimately for teaching
with the goal of
understanding and
transfer
 Grant Wiggins
emphasizes that Ubd is
not a philosophy and not
an approach to teaching
but a planning
framework.

17. There are 3 stages
in UbD:
Desired Results
Assessment
Evidence
Learning Plan

18. CONCLUSION
 Lesson planning is integral in the teaching-learning
process
 It encourages research  teachers have foresight
to think deeply about the lesson  maximize
learning opportunities
 LP’s don’t always have to be detailed
 Planning can be an internal process

19. A GOOD LESSON PLAN IS –
 Apparent
 Serves as a Guide
 Flexible
 Clear & Understandable
 Well-documented
It becomes a historic document of the class
which can aid in performance evaluation, student
assessment and curriculum development.
