Goal
Objective
Standards Included The goal is the purpose of the lesson.
The objective is what students will be able to know or do at the end of the
lesson.
Standards are the knowledge or skills that students will be expected to
demonstrate. Depending on the age of the children you are working with, you
will choose the appropriate standard from the list below:

developmental milestone checklist that includes developmental standards.

The materials section lists all items needed throughout a lesson.
The introduction is how you will introduce the activity so your students are
interested, engaged, and have the opportunity to think about any background
knowledge/experience that they may have.
The lesson development section includes the steps that you will take to teach
the lesson including any modeling, direct instruction, centers, etc. that will be
utilized. Sometimes this is also referred to as the “procedures” section of the
lesson plan.
Often times you will have students that you will need to include modifications
for when you are developing a lesson. In this section you will need to explain
how you could modify your lesson to meet the needs of the different children
you are working with. These modifications may apply to the lesson
development section, the practice/check for understanding section, or both.
Students are given the opportunity to apply what they have learned in a formal
or informal way. You will need to describe what you will do to assess student
learning. It can be through guided practice and/or independent practice.
Guided practice allows students to demonstrate their understanding of the
material while the teacher is present and can provide needed assistance.
Independent practice might be group work, projects, or homework.
