Policy Guidelines on Lesson

Plan Writing for K-12 Basic

Education Program and
Appropriate Learning
Activities in the Different
Phases of the Lesson
DepEd recognizes that instructional
planning is essential to successful
teaching and learning
DepEd Order 42, s.2016
INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING is the process of
determining what learning opportunities
students in school will have by:

a.) planning the content of instruction

b) selecting teaching materials
c) designing the learning activities and group
methods, and
d) deciding on the pacing and allocation of
instructional time
• INSTRUCTIONAL PROCESS is made up of
three (3) steps:

1) planning instruction
2) delivery of instruction
3) assessment of learning

This means that teaching begins even

before a teacher steps in front of a class and
begins a lesson
• LESSON PLANNING

- is one way of planning instruction

- is a way of visualizing a lesson before it
is taught
- helps teachers set learning targets for
learners
• IMPORTANCE OF LESSON PLANNING
> planning lessons increases a teacher’s
chances of carrying out a lesson
successfully. It also allows teachers to be
more confident before starting a lesson

>lesson planning inculcates reflective

practice as it allows teachers to think about
their teaching

 PARTS OF A LESSON PLAN

BEFORE THE LESSON

- The teacher can do variety of things including but not
limited to the ff:
1. Review of the previous lesson/s
2. Inform the class of the connection between the old and
new lesson and establish a purpose for the new lesson,
and
3. State the new lesson’s objectives
4. Do warm-up activities or motivation/motivational Qs
and connect your motivation to your new lesson
5. Check learner’s background knowledge
Some introductory or opening activities
 KWL (Know, Want to Know, Learned)
 Video or audio clip from a news story that relates to the
content
 A song followed by its analysis related to your
content/subject matter
 Posing a scientific problem and require students to
formulate a hypothesis or predict what’s going to happen
next
 Cartoon or comic strip related to the topic
 Game, Puzzle, brain teaser, brainstorming
 Conflict story – give example of a situational problem and
ask students for the right thing to do
 Question and answer - see Page 129-131 for more
 PARTS OF A LESSON PLAN
DURING/ THE LESSON PROPER

- where the teacher presents the new

material/lesson
- Time when a teacher explains, models,
demonstrates, and illustrates the concepts, ideas,
skills, or processes that students will internalize
(Teacher for America, 2011)
- This part of the lesson can also be a continuation
of a previously discussed topic or can be
continued the next day
Developmental activities

How to reduce or wipe out “clock-watchers” or

sleepy-heads in your class?
 For Data-gathering
- library or internet research
- lecture (but don’t abuse it
- panel discussion
- fieldtrip
- case study
Developmental activities
 For Organizing and summarizing
- using graphic organizers
- jingles, rap, song
 For Application/Creative activities
- solving real-world problems
- performances and demonstrations
- authentic projects
- PPT – powerpoint presentations
- talk shows, news reporting
- comic strips
- symposium
 PARTS OF A LESSON PLAN

AFTER THE LESSON

- Wrap-up activities
- Provide summary of the lesson or ask students to
summarize/generalize what they learned
- The lesson closing is meant to reinforce what the
teacher has taught and assess whether or not
learners have mastered the day’s lesson
ASSESSMENT METHODS
- Are used by teachers to regularly check
understanding of the material being tackled

- Formative assessment of student learning may

be done before, during and after a lesson
and should be carried out to measure
attainment of the lesson objectives
PROCEDURES
- Procedures will depend on the instructional
strategies and methods that a teacher will use

- Flexibility is encouraged in the implementation

of the DLP procedures (changes in the
procedure are allowed)
CHARACTERISTICS/CRITERIA OF A GOOD
PROCEDURES/TEACHING METHODS
1) Interactive – interaction with the teachers, students,
and the materials
2) Innovative – fresh or new method, don’t overuse one
method
3) Integrative – connects lesson to other disciplines and
to life
4) Inquiry-based – there are Q and A sessions
5) Collaborative – make learners work together
6) Constructivist – make learners construct knowledge
and meaning by relating lesson to past experiences
7) Varied and experiential – not sticking to one
teaching method, hands-on, minds-on, hearts-on

8) Metacognitive and reflective – you make learners

think about their cognitive and thought processes and
reflect on what they learned and how they learned it
TASK:

Using the same paring/groupings (3 members at

least) and using the same learning objectives
presented previously, write a detailed lesson to
be presented in a powerpoint next meeting.
Observe the criteria of a good
procedures/teaching methods
Observe the different guiding principles in
choosing teaching methods and assessment
