Secondary Lesson Plan Description

1. Standards: Refer to the Nevada State and/or CCSD standards and write the standard

number(s) and the standard(s) that your lesson addresses.

2. Teaching Model: Use the teaching models you have learned from the textbook,

Learning to Teach (8

edition) by Richard Arends. The Objective(s), Materials &

Resources, Introduction, Activity or Learning Experiences, Closure,

Extension/Contingency Plan, Assessment/Evaluation of Learning, and Homework

Assignment should be consistent with the teaching model that you use. The teaching

model should be appropriate for meeting the lesson objectives.

3. Objective(s): Using Bloom’s (revised) taxonomy, clearly state the objective(s) of the

lesson. The objectives should be SMART (student-centered, measureable, attainable,

reasonable, and teachable). Make sure you consider higher levels of learning and ensure

that you have considered and addressed cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains

(as applicable).

4. Materials & Resources: Use a variety of modes and materials (e.g., use of internet,

textbooks, handouts, overhead transparencies, PowerPoint, videos, guest speakers).

5. Instructional Procedures: This section includes the Introduction, Activities or

Student Learning Experiences, Closure, and Extension/Contingency Plan. Estimate the

time for each step in the instructional procedures. Use logically sequenced procedures,

build on prior knowledge/experiences and assessments, and use formal introduction and

closure. Specify clearly, concisely and in sufficient detail the procedures, activities,

approaches, and strategies of the lesson. Consider and include the following in the design

of your procedures, where appropriate:

• Steps: Is the new material presented in small steps, focusing on one skill or

concept at a time? Are there sufficient and appropriate examples?

• Management issues: Where and how will the transitions in the lesson occur?

Where will the materials/resources be housed and how will they be distributed?

• Technology use: What technological aids are you use to help students’

understanding? Is there evidence of technology and audio-visual use/integration?

• Student learning: Are there opportunities for active learning? Are you addressing

different modes, styles and ways of learning? Are students sufficiently prepared

for student practice? Is there sufficient student practice (where appropriate)? Are

these aligned to the objectives of the lesson? Is there sufficient teacher feedback

during student practice?

A. Introduction: Explain how you will establish set and how much time the lesson

will take. Explain how the objectives of the lesson will be communicated to students.

Describe the motivational techniques will you use. Explain how this lesson links to

prior knowledge, learning experiences, and other lessons.
