The most important elements of effective lesson design is that:
Teachers have to make sure they set clear objectives in which students are able to understand
Teachers need to make there objectives align with common core standards
Students assignments and student activities
Good learning objectives critical to planning effective instruction:
Objectives showing what students have mastered learned and comprehended will result in effective lesson plan
Teachers need to make sure their objectives are clear and understandable
The objective are used in order that the class and the courses are aligned
Example of good learning objectives aligned with the common core state standards. What makes this a good learning objective:
Sample Learning objective:
“State theorem” implies memorization and recalling what you have memorized
“Prove theorem” this is when you apply knowledge
“Apply theorem” solving a problem by applying knowledge
This objective is good because it is concise and accessible
Common Pitfalls in planning effective lessons/Ways to avoid these pitfalls:
Think about the end result of the learning concept for objectives
When you began a lesson plan, determine what you want students to learn at the end in the beginning
Do not focus on getting a chapter assignment done in a specific amount of time
Focus on coverage instead of objectives and concrete goals
What does backward designed mean?
To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of you destination. It means to know where you're going so that you better understand where you are now so that the steps you take are always in the right direction.
How does the CCSS Initiative play a role in designing effective instruction:
While the Common Core State Standards significantly reduced the number of standards that must be covered, there are still
