It is mandatory that you write a lesson plan for each class period that you teach following the template of your licensure program. This plan should be shared and cleared with your supervising teacher before you teach the lesson. When you begin teaching, lesson plans need to contain much detail. As you experience success in teaching, they may become less detailed after several weeks. Lesson plans should be organized into folders on Google Drive and shared with the Cooperating Teacher and University Consultant.
A good lesson plan includes:
...
• Lesson Topic & Date
• Standards – SOLs / Professional Standards
• Lesson Objectives
• Assessments
• Materials/Resources
• Differentiation of Instruction
• Set Induction or Anticipatory Set
• Lesson Body (guided practice and/or independent practice)
• Teacher Questions
• Closure
• Reflection
Following each lesson taught, or at the end of the day, you should evaluate the plan, the procedures used, and the achievements in pupil learning. Make notes of strengths and weaknesses for future reference. It is expected that you will have primary and co-teaching responsibilities for at least 25-30 days of each placement.
