What do you think?
What are the qualities of effective teaching?
(What must a teacher know and be able to do?)
![Page 4: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Make Instructional Time Count!What should students know and be able to
do?
Is the curriculum relevant?
Is the instruction rigorous?
Is the learning enduring?

INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING AND STRATEGIES
Plans are developed to provide students with meaningful learning experiencesPlans connect to related learning opportunitiesTeaching is based on instructional strategies that focus on best practice and researchTeaching is supported by strategies that foster interest and progress
![Page 11: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
POOR PLANNING
Frustration for the teacher and the studentAimless wanderingUnmet objectivesNo connections to prior learningsDisorganizationLack of needed materialsA waste of timePoor management
![Page 12: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
GOOD PLANNING
Keeps the teacher and students on trackAchieves the objectivesHelps teachers to avoid “unpleasant” surprisesProvides the roadmap and visuals in a logical sequenceProvides direction to a substituteEncourages reflection, refinement, and improvementEnhances student achievement
![Page 13: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Key Ingredients of Good Planning
Four main categories of effective instruction:
11 presentation, 11 practice, 11 assessment, 11 monitoring/feedback
Two, three and four should provide daily opportunities for differentiation through the implementation of an Acceleration, Reteaching, Enrichment (A.R.E) period within each phase.
![Page 14: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Use PRE-ASSESSMENT
What are the characteristics of the learners in the class?What do the students already know and understand?How do my students learn best?What modifications/differentiation in instruction might I need to make?
![Page 16: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Raises students’ mental VelcroEngages students cognitivelyIdentifies current knowledgeEmpowers the learner: “I already know something…”Allows adaptation of lesson plan
![Page 17: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Use Clear OBJECTIVESWhat skill or strategy do I want to teach?
cause and effectExactly what do I want students to learn about that skill or strategy?
Identify the relationship between causes and effects.
How will I know that they have learned it?Students will be able to explain the relationship between story events that happened and why they happened.
How Would the Objectives Look?Today we will be able to explain the relationship between story events that happened and why they happened in (title) in order to identify the relationship between causes and effects.

Use MATERIALS for easy access
Plan! Prepare! Have on Hand! Murphy’s Law
Envision your needs.List all resources.Have enough manipulatives (when needed) for groups or individuals.
![Page 19: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

PROCEDURES AND PRESENTATION
Sets up a step-by-step planProvides a quick review of previous learningProvides specific activities to assist students in developing the new knowledgeProvides modeling of a new skill
A picture is worth a thousand words. I hear, I see………..I do!

Providing for Student Processing of New Material-
Example: A,B,C to X,Y,ZLetter off A,B,C, etc.Write one thing you’ve learned so far or had reinforced in this session beginning with your letter of the alphabetBe ready to share
How might you use this in your classroom?
Turn to your table groups and share.

Graphic OrganizersGraphic organizers make thinking visible.Different graphic organizers represent different kinds of thinking.Students must be taught how to use graphic organizers.The goal is for students to be able to select the appropriate graphic organizer.
![Page 25: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Use Strong DIRECT INSTRUCTION
...Name and define the specific events of instruction that would be included in your model of direct instruction and give an example of a teacher behavior and a student behavior for each event.
Developed by W. Huitt (1998)
![Page 26: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Importance of Direct Instruction
In the U. S. the most often used measures of student learning are scores on standardized tests of basic skills. Using this criteria as the desired student
outcome, one set of models, labeled direct or explicit instruction (Rosenshine, 1995), has developed overwhelming research support in the past 25 years.
Rosenshine, B. (1995). Advances in research on instruction. The Journal
of Educational Research, 88(5), 262-268.
![Page 27: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Criteria for Strong MULTI-MODAL Direct Instruction!
Rosenshine’s model of direct instruction includes 7 specific teacher or student activities):1. Provide Overview2. Review prior learning- (you can use previous
night’s H.W.)3. Present/Discuss new objective and skills to
be learned. Teacher must model the entire process of objective attainment. (You can include real student model examples)
4. Initial guided practice, checking for understanding, providing strong, specific feedback
5. Independent practice6. Assessment7. H.W and assignments to review for the next
day
![Page 28: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The greater the structure of a lesson and the more precise the directions on
what is to be accomplished, the higher the achievement
rate.
Harry Wong, The First Days of Teaching
![Page 29: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
PRACTICEAPPLYING WHAT IS LEARNED
Provide multiple learning activitiesGuided practice (teacher controlled)Use a variety of questioning strategies
to determine the level of understanding
Vary RIGOR
Independent practicePractice may be differentiated
BUILD ON SUCCESS
![Page 30: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Lesson Planning with RigorPlan Backward-Teach Forward
“Begin with the end in mind” Determine the key instructional focus, the BIG question, and the alignment between standards, objectives, instruction, and assessment.“I Do” Intentionally teach, ask questions, and model the thinking behaviors that are expected.“We Do” Engage students in critical thinking, reasoning skills,and problem solving skills that were modeled. Monitor students’ understanding and application of skills and strategies. “You Do” Expect students to analyze, evaluate, critique, synthesize, communicate, and create new knowledge
![Page 31: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
“Must Do” Expect students to “show what they
know and understand.”
“May Do” Expect students to manage and direct
their own learning
Lesson PlansWith Rigor :
Plan Backward-Teach Forward

Guiding Student Practice
Practice makes permanent not perfectDon’t allow students to practice incorrectlyLearning Sequence I do (teacher models) We do (whole class practice w/teacher) Y’all do (small group or partner practice
while teacher monitors) You do (independent practice)
![Page 33: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Checking the Understanding of All Students
What it isn’t….Are there any questions?Are you all with me?Am I going too fast?This is an adverb, isn’t it?Who can tell me?
![Page 34: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Checking for Understanding of All Students
What it is: Think-pair-share Whip around Craft sticks Slate/white boards Learning partners Pair-share-squared Quick-writes Tickets to leave Paired Verbal fluency (30-20-10)
![Page 35: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Checking the Understanding of All Students
Example: Quick-WriteOn a piece of paper, please take 2 minutes to
answer the following questions.1. Of the Best Practices we’ve examined so
far, which do you feel you consistently implement in your classroom?
2. Which do you need to be more intentional about implementing in the future?
How might you use a quick-write in your classroom?
![Page 36: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Preventing Student Misconceptions
Students do not come to school as blank slates
What they think they know greatly impacts their learning
Anticipate confusion
Use specific strategies to bring forth misconceptions

CLOSURE
Lesson Wrap-up: Leave students with an imprint of what the lesson covered.Students summarize the major
concepts Teacher recaps the main pointsTeacher sets the stage for the next
phase of learning

Providing Feedback
RecommendationsFor Classroom Practice
Use various methods of assessment.Feedback should be corrective in nature.Give timely feedback.Feedback should be specific to criterion.Self-assessment tools may be used to gauge progress.
![Page 44: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Providing Feedback
“Academic feedback is more strongly and consistently related to achievement than any other teaching behavior. This relationship is consistent regardless of grade, socioeconomic status, race or school setting.”
Bellon, Jerry J. Teaching from a Research Knowledge Base. 1992
![Page 45: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
HomeworkConsiderations/Recommendations
-Amount 10 X the # of the grade as a guideline
-Parent involvement Parents as facilitators
-Homework policy Feasible & defensible expectations
-PurposeWithout one, it’s “busy work”
-Assignment sheetsClarify what they are doing and why
-Feedback (be specific)Can improve student achievement
![Page 46: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
In the end, remember…
The format of a lesson should..
Go one step at a time
Have a picture for every stepAn effective lesson plan is a set of plans for
building something – it “constructs” the learning.
![Page 47: Best Practices for Lesson Planning](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/551e452a497959ea398b4815/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
REFLECTION
What went well in the lesson?What problems did I experience?Are there things I could have done differently?How can I build on this lesson to make future lessons successful?
