Strategic Lesson Planning

All of our training opportunities are site-specific. That is, the content is tailored to the expressed needs of the participants, and it is delivered to your site.

This one- or two-day seminar teaches educators how to plan according to the mastery learning model, and how to contextualize the delivery of the lesson. Contextual delivery requires great flexibility and creativity on the part of the teacher, as well as a high level of spontaneity.

This session is not about lesson planning; rather, it addresses designing lessons strategically, to provide for on-going diagnosis of student needs and the delivery of instruction to meet those needs. The seminar focuses lesson planning on the alignment of instruction with district curriculum and effective instructional practices.

Participants will be able to develop lesson plans that:

• Plan teaching that responds to individual student needs and learning styles
• Are structured to allow for spontaneity and ever-changing classroom contexts
• Incorporate frequent, diagnostic, and authentic assessments
• Focus on the essential skills, knowledge, and concepts included in the district and/or state curriculum
