#LessonPlanning101 Continues...
= Assessment =

You will need to work closely with your mentor teacher to arrange a date to present a lesson in his/her classroom. Use the calendar on my office glass to reserve your date. All lessons must be taught on the available dates in February or March. Year II interns need to schedule their lessons ASAP. Watch for more details as we go through the lesson cycle the next two weeks.
 * Teaching Assignment: **
 * The Objective (TEKS)
 * Learning activities,
 * Evaluation/assessment to measure mastery.

Below is the lesson plan format used in Education and Training.





**Objective** [|Writing learning objectives] A learning objective answers the question:
 * What is it that your students should be able to do at the end of the class session and course that they could not do before?
 * A learning objective makes clear the intended learning outcome rather than what form the instruction will take.
 * Learning objectives focus on student performance. Action verbs that are specific, such as list, describe, report, compare, demonstrate, and analyze, should state the behaviors students will be expected to perform.
 * Activity **
 * Select an activity that would provide a learning experience to help the student master the Objective / TEKS.
 * Start here looking for ideas.


 * Assessment **

 * Identify an assessment/evaluation method to verify that the student has mastered the TEKS.
