Overview

Lesson planning is an essential component of the teaching profession. Effective educators must be able to develop appropriate objectives and design instructional strategies to ensure that all students can acquire the knowledge and skills required by learning standards. The process of lesson planning requires careful consideration of the needs of the whole class and the specific needs of small groups or individuals within the class. The lesson plan template is designed to help the pre-service teacher think through and prepare for all these requirements.
