The six lesson planning steps are:
1. Identify the learning objectives.
Effective teaching goes beyond exposing the students to topics. You must set measurable objectives – what the students will know and be able to do after the learning experience.
2. Plan the specific learning activities.
This should be related to the learning objectives of the lesson.
This is where to plan the activities the students will have to engage in order to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to demonstrate effective learning.
3. Plan to assess the students’ understanding.
Through planned oral questions, written test, assignments, etc., you can assess the students’ understanding. Planned assessment help you to know whether your students are learning.
4. Plan to sequence the lesson in an engaging and meaningful manner.
Sequence the lesson to gain the students’ attention, introduced the learning objectives, stimulate the students to recall previous knowledge, present the new topic, provide guidance and allow the students to apply knowledge and skills learnt, provide feedback, assess performance and enhance retention and transfer of knowledge.
5. Create a realistic timeline.
To achieve the learning objectives, you must create a realistic timeline.
6. Plan for a lesson closure.
This is where to summarize, review and demonstrate their understanding of major points.
