Madeline Hunter’s Lesson Plan Format

The research conducted by Dr. Madeline Hunter showed that effective teachers

use a methodology when they are planning and presenting a lesson. She

discovered that no matter what the teacher’s style, grade level of students, the

subject matter being taught, or economic background of the students, an

organized lesson consists of eight elements that enhances and maximizes

student learning. The elements of her lesson plan design/template have

withstood the test of time and are still being used today. Embedded in each

element of the lesson design are many sub skills, methods, and techniques that

require training, practice, and review in order to achieve mastery of the Hunter

lesson plan model.

The lesson plan template that is included in this Curriculum Guide is reflective of

this lesson plan design and has been adapted to fit our district’s needs.

and experience to help them relate to today's lesson.) Focus attention,

brief practice on previous/related learning

2. Objective/Purpose (The object is what students will be able to

know/do by the end of this lesson. The overarching

purpose/understanding is the broad goal/curriculum standard related

3. Instructional Input (What knowledge will you communicate to the

student--tell, lecture, stand up and deliver so that the student will

understand the objective.) Disseminates new information and activities to

the student will also be able to do it?) Demonstration and/or example of

the acceptable finished product or process

5. Checking for Understanding (How will you check that the students have

understood/learned the objectives?) Activities which examine the student's

possession of central and essential information to achieve the stated

objective

6. Guided Practice (What activities will the students perform under your

supervision to ensure that they are able to practice the material. If they

make mistakes, you are able to show them how to do it correctly.) Close

monitoring and direction of the students by the instructor as they practice

the whole task for the first time independently of each other
