3
 IDENTIFY OBJECTIVES
What knowledge and/or skills
do the students need to learn?

4
 Plan instruction
What strategies must be
implemented for the students to
achieve the objectives targeted in the
previous stage?
 Implement plan
This is the stage where you conduct
the learning activities that you have
prepared during the planning stage.
 Check for understanding
During the implementation of the lesson
plan, you must every now and then
check whether the students have
understood what you have covered so
far.
 Reflect on teaching
You must evaluate every teaching period
that you finished. Were the objectives
achieved? Were the implemented
strategies effective? How can instruction
be improved?
ASSESS LEARNING AND
REFLECT ON THE
RESULTS
This stage gives you a concrete
measure of what the students
have learned.
