The purpose of lesson plans is simply to serve as an instructional guide to deliver high quality instruction for students. To help teachers make informed decisions about how to adapt instruction for students.
Leaders intentionality to ensure lesson structures are strong includes the following:
- Understanding standards and lesson rigor
- Ensuring teachers are planning with a student outcome focus
- Providing structures for teachers to plan and collaborate with colleagues
As teachers are planning, they should have dialogue with themselves and/or colleagues.
Teachers actions include:
- What will be challenging or successful for my students?
- What misconceptions may surface for students? How should I address the misconceptions before, suring, and after teaching?
