Open the syllabus for this course and look for the language regarding the development of five consecutive lesson plans and for the rubric by which your lesson plans will be assessed.
Is the curriculum plan to be used for the upcoming StAAR Test or the present TEKS? Also can we peruse some old lesson plans that we have used for other classes on the same subject. JRJ
@J-Dub: It's your call sir. You can develop a summative for all five or just a cumulative summative for the unit. I would be inclined toward the latter, since time spent in assessment is time not spent in instruction.
@RJR: If you will be teaching a subject that is STAAR/TAKS tested then I would assume you'll develop lessons that are aligned with the TEKS. Per your bonus question, the sample lessons you will find on the Internet are generally of higher quality than what I could dig up from previous classes (due to the novice vs veteran nature of those documents).
@CG: There are many structures/formats that are nice (I've even seen them done via mindmapping). The elements are generally the same in all (minimum expectations are listed in the rubric in the syllabus). I'm partial to the Wiggins/McTighe model of planning.
Sign-off Let’s call it quits for this evening. Another good night of mind-bending, folks. Watch your email for assignments for next week. We’re on the downhill slide now…

ReplyDeleteWill a series of lesson plans BASED on current curriculum be acceptable?
@wade: Assuming you mean the curriculum you are currently teaching. Absolutely!
ReplyDeleteIt says we only have to present ONE out of the 5 day lesson plan, are we actually presenting all 5 lesson plans??
ReplyDeleteDo we need to create a summative assessment for each lesson or just one summative assessment for the entire week's content?

ReplyDeleteyessir. Gracias.

If I've never developed lesson plans what would be my best resource for basic structure?

Good question Jason.
ReplyDelete@Nick: You're developing plans for five classes. You'll be teaching us only ONE of those.
ReplyDeleteTEKS standards and curriculum for a particular subject.
ReplyDeleteOkay so I can take 5 of my inclusion and general ed lesson plans that I am currently using at my school and present them.

ReplyDeleteSo you want 5 lessons and we are only presenting one right? Devin
ReplyDeleteThanks for the solid advice NC!
ReplyDelete@SP: You sure may. You and Wade have a bit of an advantage on the rest of the class in that you're already neck deep in "the practice."
ReplyDelete@Devin: Es verdad.
