GUIDELINES FOR LESSON PLANNING

Aim  Think about the LO.
 Ensure the lesson plan teaches students the CONTENT and the SKILL
 Ensure that it is actually the STUDENTS demonstrating the skill and not YOU
Learning  Do you need to check students’ prior knowledge before your start teaching?
Experiences How will you check, if needed?
 Does EVERY LEs align to (lead directly to) the LO?
 Are the Learning Experiences meaningful and relevant to students’ lives, culture
or interests? What can you say or do to make that connection?
 Is there any part in your plan where students are passive? How can you ensure
that students are actively engaged in the Learning Experiences?
 Are all discussion questions aligned to the LO? Are there any questions not
aligned? How can they be adapted?
 Are you using any discussion strategies to engage all students?

3
 Attalim Educational Leadership Certification Programme 21-22
 On what basis will students be discussing content? Is any reading required
before the discussion?
 If reading is needed, what reading strategy will you use?
 What is the output of the discussion? How will you know the discussion has been
successful?
 Do students have an opportunity to write in this lesson? If not, is that important
for this aim and can it be incorporated in the lesson?
Formative  How will you know that both- the skill and the content in the LO- are achieved?
Assessment  What is your formative assessment?
Resources  List all the resources you and the students will need for the successful
completion of this lesson.
Time  Please do a time chunking exercise and think about whether one period is
enough for this lesson. If two periods are needed, IT IS OKAY if the LO is
important.

3. Complete the following table after reflecting on the above questions for every LO:
