OBJECTIVES:

– By the end of the session participant will be able to:

• Know about effective teaching strategies involved in

teaching SCIENCE
• Understand relation between SLOS and assessment.
• Analyze why lesson planning is important?
• Synthesize the formation of lesson plan template
• Know how to use Teachers Guide.
 A lesson plan is a description of the course of
instruction for an individual lesson developed
with the purpose of helping students' achieve the
intended learning outcomes.

 A unit plan is a plan designed to study a topic in

depth over an extended period of time ranging
from several days to several weeks. It usually
takes the form of a sequence of lesson plans.

 Lesson plans are written by/for teachers to help

them structure the learning for themselves and
for the students.

 Improving teaching quality
 Clarity of purpose
 Achievement of SLO’s
 Effective time management
 Development of appropriate resources
 Effective use of resources
 Maintaining teacher’s confidence
 The SLOs focus on all domains of
learning
– Understanding

– Comprehension

– Application

– Evaluation

– Reasoning

– Synthesis
 The Learning Outcomes sum up the total expectations
from the student.

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) should be SMART

 specific,
 measurable,
 achievable,
 realistic
 timed
 Making Lessons interactive
 Discussion
 Interactive Demonstrations
 Role Play
 Cooperative Learning
 Inquiry-based teaching
 Students’ Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
 Time: Number of Periods
 Information for Teachers
 Material / Resources
 Introductory Activities
 Developmental Activities
 Concluding Activities / Sum up
 Assessment of Learning
 Follow up
 The Learning Pyramid: Outcomes for Traditional Learning Methodology
vs. Outcomes for Active / Experiential Learning Methodology
The lesson plans can be developed
concentrating on the following important
points.
 Where are your students going?

(Aims, Objectives, SLOs)

 How the students are going to get these
aims?
(Lesson introduction and development
 How will you know when the students have
got the aims?
(assessment/evaluation)
Development process
 Lesson plans are first of all a thinking process. This
thinking process is basically completed in four parts.
◦ First, determine the curriculum; that is, what the
children will learn, what they will be able to do upon
completing the activities or work of the lesson.
◦ Second, determine what the students already know,
before beginning the lesson, that can lead into the
new curriculum of the day.
◦ Third, determine at least one way to assist the
students in learning.
◦ Fourth, determine at least one way to evaluate the
learning outcomes of the students.

Information for Teachers:

• Key points (not details) that teacher needs to know for teaching

concept
• The concept maps that may help teachers to communicate the

knowledge and skills effectively.

Material / Resources ----------------
Introduction:
• One or two warm up activities and/or questions related to
students previous knowledge
Development:
• Activities (2-3 activities to teach the concept)

Sum up/Conclusion:
• Revision of key points/brief summary to help students organize
the information in their minds
Assessment:
• Variety of techniques for effective assessment
• Questions that teachers can use to evaluate the learning of
students

Follow up
• Enrichment activities
• Homework
• Projects
• Textbook questions
 To begin, ask yourself three basic questions:

1. Where are your students going?

2. How are they going to get there?
3. How will you know when they've arrived?

1. Where are your students going?

 Students Learning Outcomes
◦ What do you expect students will know and be able to do by
the end of this lesson?
2. How are they going to get there?
 Lesson Procedure

This section provides a detailed,
step-by-step description of how to achieve
lesson plan SLOs.

It provides suggestions on how to proceed with
implementation of the lesson plan.

It focuses on what the teacher should have students
do during the lesson.
 This section is basically divided into several
components:
◦ Introduction,
◦ Main activity/activities
◦ Conclusion
◦ List of Materials required
3. How will you know when they've arrived?

 Assessment/Evaluation
 This section focuses on ensuring that your
students have arrived at their intended destination.
Teachers need to gather some evidence that they
did.
◦ How will you evaluate the SLOs that were identified?
◦ Have students practiced what you are asking them to do for
evaluation?
Introduction
• How will you introduce the ideas and objectives / SLOs of this lesson?
• How will you get students' attention and motivate them in order to hold
their attention?
• How can you tie lesson objectives with student interests and past
classroom activities?
Main Activity
• What is the focus of the lesson?
• What does the teacher do to facilitate learning and manage the various
activities?
• How can this material be presented to ensure each student will benefit
from the learning experience?
• How can the topic be linked to real life of the students
Closure/Conclusion
What will you use to draw the ideas together for the students at the end?
Follow up Lessons/Activities
What activities might you suggest for enrichment and remediation?
