In our session (lesson planning), we will highlight these

Dowd & FonsekaTLPD Planning: The Basics

Clear Lesson Objective Hook Introduction to New Material Demonstration/Modeling Guided and Independent Practice Assessment/DOL

Just like planning a good lesson!

Dowd & FonsekaHook ‘Em!

Make the content relevant

“If they can't learn the way we teach, we teach the way

they learn”― O. Ivar Lovaas

Dowd & FonsekaHook ‘Em!

Make the content relevant and interesting

Dowd & FonsekaToday we are…

Developing a lesson planning model to ease day to day planning, improve instruction, and assess student progress toward mastering standards.

Set the objective: communicate purpose

Dowd & FonsekaWe will know our goal is

met by… Today we will plan the main components

necessary for our own TLPD session

Defining our objective narrowly

and with a measurable outcome!

You’re the expert – show ‘em how you do it!

Scaffold with the step by step “how to”

Time to assemble the “nuts and bolts”

Dowd & FonsekaModeling

What steps will you need to model for participants in your TLPD session to ensure success?

What example might you use to model these steps?

Dowd & FonsekaGuided and Independent

Practice Run through an exercise with participant

input We will be having collaborators brainstorm

elements of the lesson planning cycle then integrating these into content.

Dowd & FonsekaIf we were leading a lesson planning

TLPD…

Clear daily objectives

Demonstration with appropriate scaffolds

Reference materials and anchor charts

We would make sure to cover…

We would be thought partners on these topics during guided practice

G.8.C: derive, extend, and use the Pythagorean

Theorem

Dowd & Fonseka

Discuss with a partner how you will facilitate guided practice for your TLPD session. What should participants leave

knowing? What is the clearest way to impart

this skill? What questions will you ask them? What background knowledge must

you cover first?

(3 minutes)

Dowd & Fonseka(3 minutes)

Discuss with a partner what practice you could expect of participants in your TLPD session. What task should you assign for

independent practice? What questions may come up? What will good solutions look like?

Dowd & FonsekaDebrief

Let’s address remaining questions and concerns.

What are your thoughts?

What might you need to be successful from here in order to lead a session?

Dowd & FonsekaDOL

1. List the main components of a successful TLPD session.

2. State the purpose of a TLPD you would be interested in leading (Develop an objective).

3. With what skills should your participants leave and how will you know if they mastered it? (Design a DOL)
