Teaching


    As a new teacher, lesson planning will be one of the most important things to keep up with! Here I will be posting about some lesson plan formats and a few microteaching lessons.

    The first lesson plan format that I find to be particularly helpful is the Madeline Hunter Model which involves seven steps:
  • Anticipatory Set (setting the stage)--attention-getter and focuser
  • Statement of Objectives--tell students what they'll be able to do as a result of the lesson
  • Instructional Input--lecture, but not necessarily lecture: demo, explanation, instructions
  • Modeling--demonstrate, show what you tell
  • Check for Understanding--watch faces, ask questions
  • Guided Practice--help students start practicing new skills, applying new knowledge
  • Independent Practice--turn them loose to work on their own, homework assignment, etc.
     I love that this plan takes teachers from the important hook (getting students interested) all the way through releasing students to get their own practice through many levels of scaffolding.

     The next lesson plan that can be helpful is one that we use here at UNO. I love that it walks teachers through each important step of the lesson, ensuring that the teachers covers everything and making them more confident.

      This last lesson plan template is a great one to use if you have trouble managing your time during a lesson. While it doesn't provide the guidance of suggesting the important stages to hit during each lesson, it does make you really think about what time you are doing each thing and how long it will last.
