Lesson Planning
(A) explain the role of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) in planning and evaluating instruction;

(C) explain the rationale and process of instructional planning;

(D) describe principles and theories that impact instructional planning;

(E) create clear short- and long-term learning objectives that are developmentally appropriate for students; and

(F) demonstrate teacher planning to meet instructional goals.

Let's continue working on lesson planning theory:
 * You've learned the theory and the sequence/cycle behind the plan. Let's learn about the plan you will use. (teaching)


 * Now, see if you can identify the parts of the lesson plan by taking the pieces of an actual plan and sequencing them. Work with your group members to practice what you've just learned. (guided practice)
 * Next, read scenarios of your fellow interns and determine what they were trying to accomplish in the lesson cycle. You may work with a partner. (independent practice) When finished, check your answers and see how well you did (assessment).


 * This week you will need to visit with your teacher about an upcoming lesson you will need to teach during the 4th or 5th six weeks grading period. You will need to schedule it on the calendar posted in BCTAL 901. Lessons are first come - first serve. Schedule early and keep in touch with your teach so if any unforeseen events occur you will have time to reschedule. The lesson will need to occur during your EAT internship time. Only one lesson can be scheduled per period. It will also need to be the following length:
 * Year I interns - minimum of 15 minutes
 * Year II interns - minimum of 20 minutes
 * You will need to turn in a word-processed/printed lesson plan on my arrival to your field site classroom.
 * Be prepared to be photographed/video recorded.
 * At the end of the lesson you will need to complete the reflection and turn it in.

Here are the grades that will be entered into the gradebook for this exercise:
 * Lesson plan (2 daily grades)
 * Lesson evaluation - mentor (1test grade)
 * Lesson evaluation - Kallas (1 test grade)
 * Lesson reflection (2 daily grades)
