WINDOW OF ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITY

Active student engagement in learning is an important goal. As a teacher, it is imperative that you demonstrate a variety of techniques and instructional strategies to teach subject matter that engages students. Evidence of student interests, support for individual learning and collaboration, and positive social interaction should be found in the classroom daily. An effective teacher utilizes knowledge of content, planning, academic language, assessment, and social interaction to entice students to become active in the educational process.

Lesson Plans: TWS Task 3

Lesson plans contain the specific information to accomplish learning goals and lesson objectives. The lesson plans you create need to detail the instructional strategies you will employ. At least one must include the appropriate use of technology.

It is critical that you align your curriculum to the standards.

• Can you demonstrate just how you are able to do this?
• How do you develop a lesson plan that delivers effective instruction? How will you know?
• What will you do if you find that students have not learned as much as you had hoped?

Follow the instructions and submit Task 3 in Taskstream.

Note: While the task asks for you to create only five original lesson plans, you need to create as many lesson plans as necessary to sufficiently cover the content of a unit that is at least 2 weeks in length.

Note: The TWS requires the use of a specific Lesson Plan Template. Other lesson plan formats will not be accepted.
