Components of A Good Lesson Plan

Good lesson plans contain three key elements: learning objectives, a variety of activities, and tools to check student understanding. Learning objectives state what the teacher wants students to learn by the end of the lesson. A variety of activities are used to engage different learning styles and apply the material to real-world situations. Checking student understanding, either formally or informally, allows the teacher to gauge how well students retained the lesson and plan future lessons accordingly. Proper planning is important so that teachers are prepared and students have the best chance to learn.

Components of a good lesson plan


Leah Salyer

Good lesson plans are vital for positive student learning outcomes. Read on to learn more about how you can
design effective lesson plans for your classroom.

Key Elements of Lesson Plans


When you write a lesson plan, you need to consider some key elements to make sure the lesson plan is focused
and designed to meet all of your students' needs. The three components that you should include in a lesson
plan to ensure that it's solid and effective are:
 Learning objectives
 Activities
 Tools to check for understanding

Learning Objectives
You should first identify the learning objectives you wish to address. This can be done by zeroing in on the
topic, asking yourself what you want to see students accomplish by the end of the lesson and what you want
them to be able to do with the information they will learn. Once these objectives have been established, it's
a good idea to rank them in order of importance to help with time management. If you have a plan in place
to identify the concepts that are the most important in your lesson, you'll know what you can skip if you don't
have enough time to cover everything.
The lesson objective, which is usually located at the beginning of the plan, focuses on the end of the lesson
and states what skills you want your students to have learned or what knowledge you want them to have
acquired when the lesson is finished.

Activities
The activities section of your lesson should be the largest section, taking up the most time. You should plan
on using a variety of activities to explain what is being taught in the lesson. With the use of different learning
and teaching activities, you can reach a wide range of learning styles. Activities should be fun, interactive and
should also be applied to real -world situations whenever possible.

Tools to Check for Understanding


This part of the lesson is important for students but also vital for you, as the teacher. This section of the lesson
plan will help you gauge what students will take away from the lesson and h ow much of it they were able to
retain. In this section, you can include an assessment which can be formal or informal. Some examples of
assessments include asking a series of questions, having a class discussion, or having students work on short
group projects. Any way that you can gauge students' understanding of a particular lesson is beneficial. In the
future, you can plan other lessons based on the feedback and outcomes you receive from past lessons.

A lesson plan is a teacher's guide for communicating a set of skills or knowledge to the students in a class.
Good lesson planning follows a research proven structure that assures students the best chance for learning.

Why Plan?
Picture yourself: standing at your classroom door greeting your students as they arrive. The children are little
turbo-charged bundles of energy. They are equally capable of learning as they are of creating chaos. Now is
not the time to be thinking about what you want to teach today.

You need properly structured lessons to ensure all your students have a chance to learn each day. Even
veteran teachers can't improvise that type of lesson very often. Well -structured lessons require advanced
planning and a professional's knowledge of how children learn. Fortunately, the abundance of educational
research sets out clear guidelines for designing effective lesson plans.
