Lesson Planning Practices At The ECI/573 Class

747 Words3 Pages

On Tuesday, January 19th, our ECI 573 class went down to the College of Education computer lab to work on our baseline lesson plan, the first lesson plan assignment of the term. This assignment was completed individually and meant to serve as a pre-assessment for Dr. Ross to gauge each student’s current understanding of lesson planning practices. The assignment was to write a lesson plan for the grade of our choice, using a standard from the Measurement and Data domain from the Arizona Department of Education K-12 Academic Standards. This assignment was completed over approximately an hour, between 4:30 and 5:30 pm, and turned in via BbLearn before the end of class. We were given free range to utilize the Internet to find existing lesson plans …show more content…

I then decided to create a lesson to introduce students to the metric system and simple conversion between units. Once this decision was made, I reviewed a few lesson plans I found online to get an idea of how other teachers approached the subject and began writing. I decided to begin with the story of King Henry and his chocolate milk to help students remember the mnemonic device for the metric units. I then laid out an activity meant to help further solidify students’ memorization of the different units and their relationships. The remainder of the lesson was mostly focused on converting between units, starting with modeling it for the class then having the students work in pairs to practice their skills and ending with table groups comparing their answers and reviewing as a whole class. The closure for the lesson is an activity to further help students remember the units and their relationships by having them place them in the correct …show more content…

By focusing first on identifying the desired outcome then building the lesson to support it, teachers are able to make sure that all the instruction and activities used during a given lesson are working cohesively towards a single goal. With math, it is also important to have a clear understanding of the students’ previous experience and knowledge, since it is constantly building on itself. When creating this lesson plan, I tried to think through necessary information for students to be familiar and comfortable with to succeed so the lesson would be accessible and understandable. The Internet provides a huge number of lessons and activities that can be used in the classroom, so many that it’s almost overwhelming. To wade through the options, I try to focus in on what I want to teach before I even begin researching online, that provides limitations on what I’m looking for and allows me to find the best information possible to support my lesson. Once I gathered ideas for activities and ways to structure the lesson, it was just a matter of putting the pieces together. Since I approached it in a methodical way, with the standard and objectives in mind, creating a lesson plan aimed at introducing students to converting between units of measurement was a fairly smooth and successful

Then I went to the main lesson which I did on the white board and I started with simple two step problems and got up to the four step problems with the parentheses so they could see me do it. After I was done, I had each student come up a couple of time to check their understanding of it, to me they seem to get it really well.

Teachers should put enough details in their lesson plans, and they need to ask themselves some question about the plan such as who are the students, what they want to do in the class, and how to teach them.

Although the concept mapping activity was very beneficial for the lesson, one part of the lesson that could be changed was the use of the poster board to illustrate the concept map. An easier, and more efficient way would be to use the whole entire white board. The white board is larger, allowing the teacher candidate to write the text larger to ensure that all students can see. During the lesson, many students would question what does that say, or ask if they could move up to be able to see well. The next time the teacher candidate teaches this particular lesson a smart board or a white board will be used to eliminate the obstacles that arose using the poster

Then I build on that knowledge by working with the class on document A (see instructional material 1.1) then let the class work on the rest of the documents in pairs. Through this method student are shown the material, and the work is modeled for them giving students a better understanding of how to read the documents (Bruner). Allowing students to work in pairs allows for peer learning allowing students to work together, and for students who are accelerated in the class to help those who are struggling with the material (Dewey). This also me to walk around the room, and help groups who are struggling allowing for easier monitoring of progress towards the learning target.

The key to effective teaching is good planning and organisation (Touzel 2009). Although, teachers should not be too prescriptive in their planning, teachers should be equipped with sufficient subject knowledge to allow for spontaneity in a lesson, being able to answer potentially challenging questions that might deviate the lesson (Petty 2009). In order to support this, a clear unit of work should be provided so detailed lesson plans can be produced. A unit of work is a basic overview of a set of lessons that includes what the students are expected to learn. The individual lesson plans can then go into detail about how each lesson will run and should include clear objectives, outcomes, differentiation needs and a clear structure (Haynes 2010).
