Designing Lesson Plans
~“A lesson plan is a plan for learning.” In North Carolina, teachers use the North Carolina Standard Course of Study as a guide in developing their lesson plans. Objectives are taught based on this guide using a variety of instructional strategies. Activities are prepared. Essential questions are asked. Assessments are done to check for student learning.
Re-teaching
~What happens when learning did not occur as a result of the initial lesson plan and delivery of instruction?
Teachers analyze the data. (Ex. Examine the number of students who did not master a particular objective or question.)
Teachers redesign the lesson based on the data, the assessment, and student feedback.
Formative Assessments ~A method of immediately assessing students and
providing information to adjust learning and teaching. This type of assessment coincides with the day-to-day instructional process.
Examples: Questioning StrategiesObservations (Gathering evidence of learning)Self and Peer AssessmentsGoal SettingCriteria for Reaching GoalsStudent Record Keeping
Summative Assessments
~Assessments given periodically to determine students’ knowledge base at a given point in time.
Examples: End-of-Course TestEnd-of-Grade TestBenchmark TestChapter TestSemester Exams
Professional Learning Community
~A defined process and structure to ensure that teachers collaborate, develop common lesson plans and assessments, and analyze and interpret data to help improve student achievement.
