Effective Lesson Planning and DesignJanae N. RogersEDU 650Febuary 2, 2015Joyce Frazier

Important Elements of Effective Lesson Design: Research “Research is one of the most important

components in effective teaching and learning(Newman, 2013) .”

Important Elements of Effective Design: Developing Learning Objectives Common Core Standards Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational

Objectives Ask Questions

Good Learning Objective Example Students will count to the number 100

using ones and tens. Students will explore the number line to

see how to get to the number 100. Students will investigate and explore

ones centi- cubes and ten rods.

Common Pitfalls in Lesson Planning Accidental Learning Breadth of Coverage

Avoid Pitfalls Comprehensive Holistic Transformative Wide-Ranging Process

Backwards Design Step One: Identify desired results Step Two: Determine acceptable

evidence Step Three: Plan learning experiences

and instruction

Common Core Standards Initiative: Role in Effective Instruction “The standards are informed by:

The best state standards already in existence

The experience of teachers, content experts, states, and leading thinkers

Feedback from the public”

Compare/ Contrast: Backwards Design and Traditional Model

Similarities Use Common Core Standards

or standards Explores new topics Develops Learning Provides Feedback Teaches

Backwards Design Planning Process

Traditional Planning Process

Differences Begins with OUTPUTS-

develop an assessment to determine student success for outcome

Assess results using assessment outputs

Re-teach standard

Differences Begins with INPUTS-

develop learning experiences and activities for students to engage in

Give assessments from books

Stage 1 – Desired Results

Establish goals: CC.SS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.A.1 Count to 100 by ones and tens

Understandings

Students will learn how to count to 100

by ones and tens through recognition.

How to count by ones

How to count by tens

Essential Questions

Which way is easier to count to 100?

Which way is longer?

What is number is halfway to 100?

Students will know…

How to use numerals in different ways

to get to the number 100.

Students will be able to…

Students will be able to count to the number

100 using ones and tens. They will know the

different routes to get to that number.

Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence

Performance Tasks

Timed worksheets

Oral Exams

Use ones centi cubes/ ten rods

Place value worksheets

Other Evidence

Peer review of assessments

Counting manipulatives

What is number is halfway to 100?

Stage 3 – Learning Plan

Learning Activities:

Investigate numbers and how to approach the number 100 using ones and tens.

Utilize activities logs and trays using one centi-cubes and ten rods.

Investigate different approaches on the number line.
