Types of instructional planning

Long Range Planning – A long range planning is a plan of instruction in which

planning of the whole content can be done before the commencement of the course.
The course plan provides the details of the content, skills, and sometimes, values to be
taught for the entire course. It is a long-range teacher guide.

• Planning for the whole year

• Curriculum Mapping -Process of determining when you will teach each topic or
concept . (Beal and Bolick )
Using of the curriculum guide this are the Questions to ask ourselves:
1.How it is best to devide the topic and standards into quarter ,end or semester ?
2. How could social studies be integrated with other subjects or with holidays and
celebration throughout the school year .

This curriculum guide is the teachers most important tool in course planning .

In curricular mapping in particular grade level . IT is important to look at the

following first the grade level standard which states the overall goal for the year .
second the topic -which describe the general theme of the grade level. And the content
it outlines the lessons that will be covered. This three was found in the curriculum guide.
II. Unit Planning
• A major Division of a Year-long plan
 • It is a cluster of related lessons organized around a central topic ,theme, issue or
problem and developed in a logical sequence.
• It can be designed for any length of time ( a week or whole quarter )

After the long range planning, the unit plan can be prepared by the teacher. A unit
plan consists of many lessons and is longer than a lesson plan.

lesson plan in delivering her lesson every day.

day as every part of the lesson has an impact to the students learning.

Lesson Planning-a lesson plan is a teacher's plan for teaching an individual lesson.
The lesson plan is the guide of the teacher which includes the aims, objectives, subject
matter, materials, devices to be used, etc. during the teaching-learning process. A
lesson plan also helps in deciding the teaching methods and techniques and evaluation
for achieving the desired results.

Daily lesson plan -It is a teachers roadmap for a lesson it contains a detailed
description of the steps a teacher will take to teach a particular topic . A typical
DLP contains the following part. Objectives, content, learning resources
,procedures,remarks and reflection.
Daily lesson log or DLL- A template teacher uses to log parts of their daily lesson .It
covers a days worth of lesson and contains the following part. . Objectives, content,
learning resources ,procedures,remarks and reflection.

In DLP we are using it every day and DLL is Good for a week .

3 components to help us in making our lesson plan.

lesson for DLP and DLL
Teachers guide - procedure how teachers deliver and teach the lesson
Learning material – we can get assessment from here for the students.
 Importance of instructional planning .

a) The Importance of Instructional Planning

b) Planning gives the lesson focus and direction
c) Thought-out planning is way better than on-the-spot teaching. Plans help teachers to
remain focused during instruction, especially when lessons go off-topic due to students'
questions and recitations.
d) Written plans can help teacher get back on track as quickly and smoothly as possible after
going on detours
