Nature & Importance of

Lesson Planning

WHAT IS A LESSON PLAN?
A LESSON PLAN IS:
 A model of organized learning events within a set
period of time or session
 A projection of real lesson filled with concrete
processes, assignments, and learning tools
 A blueprint on which to construct a learning
process made up of clearly stated goals and
objectives
 A tool that moves from theory to practice by
carrying out a methodological approach (based on
latest research)

WHY IS LESSON PLANNING IMPORTANT?

 The key to good teaching, purposeful class

management and the achievement of sustained
educational progress lies in effective preparation
and planning. (Butt, 2008)

 Consistent effective lesson planning is essential for

successful experiences in both teaching and
learning process. (Serdyukov and Ryan, 2008)
STAGES IN LESSON PLANNING
PREPARATION

 Who is to be taught?

 By knowing the learners, the desired outcome can be

determined and the teacher can identify the purpose
of the lesson.
DEVELOPMENT

 What is to be taught?
 Thisstage covers the substance of the lesson such as
subject matter, instructional goals, specific learning
objectives, concepts and skills.

 An effective activity or lesson plan begins with a

specific objective.
Bloom’s taxonomy
provides good
examples of
appropriate
action words to
use in learning
objectives. With
this, the learning
objective
becomes student-
focused and
outcomes
oriented.
IMPLEMENTATION
 How do you teach students?
 Methods or strategies employed
 Learning activities and methodological approach
REFLECTION

 Will/ Is my lesson plan effective?

 the teacher evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of

the lesson plan before implementing it and after it has
been delivered
 There are

DETAILED LESSON PLAN
 The detailed lesson  Everything is written
plan has five parts: down like a script of a
 Objectives play.
 Subject Matter (topic,
references, materials)
 Procedure (motivation,

activity, routines,
teacher does and says
lesson proper) and what the students
 Evaluation are expected to say
 Assignment and do.

 EXAMPLES
SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN
 Has all the components
of a detailed plan but
does not include a
complete description of
pupils’ activity.

 It contains the important

subject matter and a
description of teaching-
learning activities.
(Beltran, 1992)
BRIEF LESSON PLAN
 Only guide statements
or brief explanation of
the activities to be
performed in each part
are provided
UNDERSTANDING BY DESIGN
 Jay McTighe describes
UbD as a framework for
curriculum planning,
assessment by design and
ultimately for teaching
with the goal of
understanding and transfer

 Grant Wiggins emphasizes

that Ubd is not a
philosophy and not an
approach to teaching but a
planning framework.
There are 3
stages in UbD:
Desired Results
Assessment
Evidence
Learning Plan
CONCLUSION
 Lesson planning is integral in the teaching-learning
process

 It encourages research  teachers have foresight

to think deeply about the lesson  maximize
learning opportunities

 LP’s don’t always have to be detailed

 Planning can be an internal process

A GOOD LESSON PLAN IS –
 Apparent
 Serves as a Guide

 Flexible

 Clear & Understandable

 Well-documented

It becomes a historic document of the class which

can aid in performance evaluation, student
assessment and curriculum development.
