A Detailed Lesson Plan-Developmental Reading

Planning and preparation of teaching is supremely important, the teacher and teaching assistant need to work together to achieve the best learning result. Lesson plans and structures will be implemented and will be catered for each learner; they will include teaching methods and techniques, assessments and targets. Teachers have policies, procedures and regulations to adhere to and within organisations will have to take into consideration budgets and resources.

Writing the teaching objectives and the learning outcomes, what the pupils will be able to do at the end of the lesson.

Before the session will commence, teacher will be involved in planning learning. This process involves creating the session plan, resources and activities needed to perform the subject. On very occasions

Teaching demands a lot of creativity and being able to adapt to different situations and environments. However, in order to experience lasting success, more than pot luck, charisma and spontaneity are required. Planning is essential. Planning and preparation gives a certain level of confidence. Whether it is a single lesson or a whole course, planning allows you to design the learning journey you wish to take your students on. In designing, you can make sure that you are catering for all your learners’ needs. This includes sufficient differentiation; for SEN needs as well as your gifted and talented students. In planning you can ensure that your lessons have a definite beginning, middle and end and have clear aims and targets. At this stage you will also prepare and plan resources. Also, you must plan your assessments. How will you know when the students have learned what you set out to teach? How will they know? How are you going to prove that learning has taken place at the end of the course? All these points will be addressed in the planning stage of the teacher training cycle.

Mrs. Lawrence: When planning a lesson, I start with the objective. What is it I am supposed to be cover. Once I know, I start with a hook. I access their prior knowledge then I move on with either an example or model. All along I ask questions to make sure the students

I used the internet to research all areas of planning and enabling learning in unit 2, as I felt it offered depth and detail, as well as convenience. However, I also referred to Planning and Enabling Learning in LLLS by Ann Gravells & Susan Simpson, as well as Geoff Petty Teaching Today - A Practical Guide.

Undertaken prior to a lesson or course is delivered and helps direct my session planning to meet learner’s expectations.

The first lessons are concerned with a lot of verbal assessment and discussion, in order to gauge levels of experience pupils may have had prior to beginning my group. (At primary school Kishnama worked with a ceramic artist making and decorating tiles). During the first lessons with my A Level group, I neglected to talk about prior learning. One identifiable weakness in my planning. It is my responsibility to break down an overall scheme of work into lesson plans, identifying aims and learning outcomes through listing what I intend to demonstrate. E.g. in a scheme of work “hand building forms” would be written. My session plan would/should

The main thing teachers write is lesson plans. Lesson plans are not only to help you within your classroom, but also approved by the principal of that school to see how the classroom management will be. They are broken down in time frames. Since most public schools go from approximately 9am to around 3pm, you break down what you will do throughout the day. Most may assume this is a simple task, you just write down what you will teach and you are finished. It is way more complex than this. You have to explain the learning outcomes, materials needed, activities that will be done, explain the modifications, the websites you used, the time it will take, and most importantly the common core standards.

When the teacher shares and explain the learning objective with the pupils they will be giving the pupils a clear understanding of what they are to learn, they can check the childs understanding by asking questions, the support learning practitioner will also need to be aware of the learning objective.

In order to create the lesson plan, the objectives had to be planned first. As per the requirements for the course, I based my learning objectives off of Bloom’s taxonomy with my learning objectives falling under the categories of remembering, understanding,

I will need to include learners in agreeing their individual learning plan so ensure it meets their needs.

All learners attend a course induction where an individual learning plan is discussed and agreed, this is essential for both the learner and tutor as it allows the learner to take control of their own learning, review their progress and set goals for their training. This has the benefit of empowering them through ownership and helps to keep them motivated throughout the course. The ILP also aids the tutor, allowing them to monitor the intended learning outcomes, customise and design resources, identify distance travelled and set targets for work.

As an instructor it is important to always be flexible in regards to the learning objectives and the teaching plan in an effort to meet the individual needs of each learner.

Analysis of the three identified stages stated on the lesson planner shall take place within this assignment. Links will be shown between the teaching methods that were incorporated in this lesson planner which met particular learning characteristics, traits and needs of the group or an individual(s) and relevant educational and theoretical principles. The lesson planner has been placed in the appendices, as a referral resource, for this assignment.
