Introduction
◦ One of the basic skills that teachers should be able to undertake
with “predictable proficiency” is preparing a wide variety of
instructional materials ranging from the daily learning plan to a
syllabus for a particular course.
◦ Guided by the current trust in one’s discipline, they must be knowledgeable in
organizing and developing materials used for daily classroom instruction as
well as learning units in the form of modules by which they can provide the
students the right direction in achieving the desired instructional objectives.
The Daily Lesson Plan
◦ The daily lesson plan is a blueprint that guides the teacher on what she will
teach and how she will go about it.

◦ It is a complete procedure that will be followed in introducing and

implementing the plan capped by the suggestions on how to evaluate the
learning outcomes desired.
