Lesson Planner Checklist: (updated 11/20/08)
- state lesson objective in accessible language
- have manipulatives, visual, audible, and kinesthetic, and rhythmical components prepped in advance
- timing pace for each stage of lesson
- stick to the “10 and 2” rule of teacher to student talk time
- utilize ‘turn to your neighbor’ at least once a day for ‘think-pair-share’ strategy
- students who express extreme behavior will be incorporated into the lesson-covertly as possible and in a way that does not appear to be a blatant reward [T, S, J, A, R, D]
- consistent use of class card deck for random query
- post high level probing questions for students with GLAD color coding
- post student checklist for understanding: ”Did I meet my objective?” “How do I know I know?” poster checklist for key lessons to be used as conclusion review for all lessons
- highlight target areas for areas of general academic weakness (i.e. grammar and writing for this particular group at this time.
lesser objectives to establish a pleasant environment:
- consider at least 6 audio & 1 video supplements to academic standards in a biweekly period
- (i.e. lessons in rhyme, music, subject related material to enrich lessons)
- plant cuttings and vases around the room with a variety of flora
- scented candles to ward off unpleasant scents when students are out of the room
