*Interns will define the purpose of a lesson plan.
*Interns will create a lesson plan using pieces of a completed plan.

What is the purpose of writing a lesson plan?
On the piece of paper that has been handed to you, answer this question:
What is the purpose of a lesson plan?

Let’s walk through the lesson planning format
Start with the basics…
• Your name
• Date of the activity or lesson
• Lesson/Activity Title
![Page 7: Writing a Lesson Plan September 5, 2013 * Stanley Teacher Preparation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5518010f550346a2228b4c3e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Standards: Why do we need them?
Educational standards help teachers ensure their students have the skills and knowledge they need to be on course toward college or career readiness by providing clear goals for student learning at each grade level. Standards establish what students need to learn, but they do not dictate how teachers should teach. Instead, schools and teachers decide how best to help students reach the standards.

![Page 8: Writing a Lesson Plan September 5, 2013 * Stanley Teacher Preparation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5518010f550346a2228b4c3e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Lesson Plan: Standards Addressed
For the intern program, you will be using the Colorado Academic Standards (CAS)—a maximum of 3 standards per lesson.
View the complete standards at http://www.cde.state.co.us/standardsandinstruction/ColoradoStandards-AcademicStandards.asp (see page 8 of the program handbook)
You may also use alternative sources or your district/program standards for areas not covered by CAS such as social-emotional.

Purpose
Answers the question: “Why are you teaching the lesson?”
Show or describe how the lesson fits within the larger curriculum unit (webbing, essential questions, etc.)
Make a plan for how you will communicate the purpose to your students.
![Page 10: Writing a Lesson Plan September 5, 2013 * Stanley Teacher Preparation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5518010f550346a2228b4c3e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Learning ObjectivesStudents will be able
to… Observable and measurable description of student
learning linked to the standards addressed in the lesson/activity—maximum of 3 objectives per lesson.
I recommend writing 2 objectives maximum—it will help you stay focused.
Think: What do students know or what are students able to do as a result of this lesson?
Make a plan for how you will communicate and periodically refer to the objective with your students.

Setting
Describe the situation in which the lesson will be taught—location, setup, number of students and adults, size of group.
![Page 12: Writing a Lesson Plan September 5, 2013 * Stanley Teacher Preparation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5518010f550346a2228b4c3e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Materials and Preparation
Make a list of resources and materials prepared and collected before the lesson/activity begins; tasks to complete prior to the actual lesson/activity.
How will you present the materials in an aesthetic manner?
Think: How will you distribute the materials efficiently and effectively?
![Page 13: Writing a Lesson Plan September 5, 2013 * Stanley Teacher Preparation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5518010f550346a2228b4c3e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Activity Procedure
Introduction
Think:
How will you engage and/or motivate students?
How will you articulate your learning objective?
How will you communicate how the lesson/activity is connect to prior learning or their lives—establish relevance
How long will you need for the introduction? (Keep in mind what is developmentally appropriate)
![Page 14: Writing a Lesson Plan September 5, 2013 * Stanley Teacher Preparation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5518010f550346a2228b4c3e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Activity Procedure (Continued)
Procedure
What is the sequence of how the lesson proceeds?
How will the teacher support and interact with students during the lesson (modeling, scaffolding, facilitating, coaching…)
How will the teacher promote active engagement and how will students practice/apply the skill in their learning?
How long will each part take?
![Page 15: Writing a Lesson Plan September 5, 2013 * Stanley Teacher Preparation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5518010f550346a2228b4c3e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Activity Procedure(Continued)
Closure
How will students share what they have learned and make their thinking public?
How will the teacher summarize students’ learning?
How will you revisit the objective?
How will you celebrate/highlight student learning and/or mastery of the objective?
THE CLOSURE IS VERY IMPORTANT AND IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED—BE SURE TO PACE YOUR LESSON SO THAT YOU HAVE TIME FOR CLOSURE!
![Page 16: Writing a Lesson Plan September 5, 2013 * Stanley Teacher Preparation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5518010f550346a2228b4c3e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Activity Procedure (Continued)
Clean up
How will the students clean up?
How long will clean up take?
• Transition
How will students transition to the next activity?
![Page 17: Writing a Lesson Plan September 5, 2013 * Stanley Teacher Preparation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5518010f550346a2228b4c3e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Differentiation
How will you accommodate differences in learning modalities, skill level, and special needs of the students.
What variations will there be in presentation, materials, setting, etc. based on individual or small group needs.
How will all students be able to access the learning objective?
![Page 18: Writing a Lesson Plan September 5, 2013 * Stanley Teacher Preparation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5518010f550346a2228b4c3e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Assessment
How will you know your students met the learning objective? (The assessment needs to align directly with each learning objective).
What criteria will you use to evaluate student learning? (work samples, rubrics, checklists)
Document how you will record observations and results in order to monitor progress and use assessment for future planning.
If appropriate, how will students reflect upon and self-assess their learning?

Extensions
How can the learning be extended or continued from this activity?
![Page 20: Writing a Lesson Plan September 5, 2013 * Stanley Teacher Preparation Program](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081518/5518010f550346a2228b4c3e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Let’s create a lesson plan
You will work with 3-4 people for this activity.
Inside the envelope you will find the pieces of a lesson plan written by a former intern.
You also have a blank lesson plan template.
Read through each piece of the lesson plan and decide where it belongs on the template.
When you are finished, read through the lesson plan.

Closing Reflection: Let’s revisit the question of
purpose
What is the purpose of a lesson plan?

And becauseeven the best laid plans
may go awry…
