Part 2: Planning Pyramid

Some students will know

 Why communication is necessary for enhancing collaboration among peers.

 How to apply problem-solving and decision-making strategies to real-life

situations.

 How to enhance collaboration to attain shared objectives.

Most students will know

 How to apply critical thinking skills in decision-making.

 How to demonstrate their collaboration skills through group activities.

 How to enhance their communication skills in building relationships.

Some students will know

 How to select and apply the proper decision-making strategies daily.

 How effective decision-making can positively influence their social and

personal well-being.

 How to properly communicate with their peers to facilitate meaningful

relationships.

Reasons for the Decisions

The reasons for making these decisions are based on providing an equal opportunity for

each student to acquire critical thinking, decision-making, collaboration, communication, and

problem-solving skills. The decisions are also made based on UDL’s principles that

acknowledge the diverse learning abilities of students (Sanger, 2020). Therefore, according to

Letrud and Hernes (2018), the pyramid accommodates the different learning readiness of
 3

students by focusing lessons on what students should understand, know, and do and encourages

activity and experience-based learning.

Questions:

1. What are some ways to use the pyramid plan when creating lesson plans?

2. How will learning communication skills enhance the ability to make better decision-

making habits for life skills?
