Online lesson plans, rubrics

As a teacher, time management is a very important part of the day because you only have limited time to organize your day and get all of your materials in order before you have to provide instruction to students for 7 hours. Below are three stages that teachers can use to plan lessons so that time management for them is not a problem.

Stage 1: Pre-Lesson Preparation

  1. Goals
  2. Content
  3. Student entry level

Stage 2: Lesson Planning and Implementation

  1. Unit title
  2. Instructional goals
  3. Objectives
  4. Rationale
  5. Content
  6. Instructional procedures
  7. Evaluation procedures
  8. Materials

Stage 3: Post-Lesson Activities

  1. Lesson evaluation and revision
We all know that teachers don't look at their lesson plans for step by step instruction, but instead use them as a guide to teaching a lesson. Think of the elements that make up your lesson plan as guiding principles that you will use to deliver the most effective instruction to your students while also helping you manage your time so that all subject matter is covered.

  4. Then you can go back and review some of the important material that you already covered to make sure that everyone understands it, or come up with an activity that will assess students to see if they have learned the material you just covered!
