A lesson plan is:

 A model of organized learning events within a set period of time or session

 A projection of real lesson filled with concrete processes, assignments, and learning tools
 A blueprint on which to construct a learning process made up of clearly stated goals and objectives
 A tool that moves from theory to practice by carrying out a methodological approach (based on latest
research)

Why is lesson planning is important?

 The key to good teaching, purposeful class management and the achievement of sustained educational
progress lies in effective preparation and planning. (Butt, 2008)
 Consistent effective lesson planning is essential for successful experiences in both teaching and learning
process. (Serdyukov and Ryan, 2008)

Stages in lesson planning:

Preparation:

 Who is to be taught?

 By knowing the learners, the desired outcome can be determined and the teacher can identify the
purpose of the lesson.

Development:

 What is to be taught?

 This stage covers the substance of the lesson such as subject matter, instructional goals, specific
learning objectives, concepts and skills.

 An effective activity or lesson plan begins with a specific objective.

Bloom’s taxonomy provides good examples of appropriate action words to use in learning objectives. With this, the
learning objective becomes student-focused and outcomes oriented.

Implementation:

 How do you teach students?

 Methods or strategies employed

 Learning activities and methodological approach

Reflection:

 Will/ Is my lesson plan effective?

 the teacher evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the lesson plan before implementing it and
after it has been delivered

Description/ •date, subject area,

Introduction topic, grade level

•may include academic

and culturally relevant
Goals and
Objectives
content standards,
adaptations for diverse
populations

•instructional resources
Materials such as texts, visuals,
and Tools handouts, etc.
•educational technology

•content presentation
Procedures
and activities

•reflection and
assessment (tests,
Evaluation
quizzes, essays, etc.
Detailed Lesson Plan:

 The detailed lesson plan has five parts:

 Objectives
 Subject Matter (topic, references, materials)
 Procedure (motivation, activity, routines, lesson proper)
 Evaluation
 Assignment.

 Everything is written down like a script of a play.

 It contains what the teacher does and says and what the students are expected to say and do.
 EXAMPLES

Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan:

 Has all the components of a detailed plan but does not include a complete description of pupils’
activity.
 It contains the important subject matter and a description of teaching-learning activities.
(Beltran, 1992)
Brief Lesson Plan:

 Only guide statements or brief explanation of the activities to be performed in each part are
provided
 There are 3 stages in UbD:
Desired Results
Assessment Evidence
Learning Plan
Conclusion:
 Lesson planning is integral in the teaching-learning process
 It encourages research  teachers have foresight to think deeply about the lesson  maximize
learning opportunities
 LP’s don’t always have to be detailed
 Planning can be an internal process

A Good Lesson Plan is:

 Apparent
 Serves as a Guide
 Flexible
 Clear & Understandable
 Well-documented
It becomes a historic document of the class which can aid in performance evaluation, student
assessment and curriculum development.
