Purpose in the Planning, Instruction and
Assessment Process
Lesson Plans Lesson plans are instructions to teach students within the standards and guidelines. As well as assessments are used to see the students' understanding from the lesson using the right components.
The purpose in the lesson planning is so students can focus on the learning material, provide timely feedback, allow students to process time, and keep students motivated. (Estes and Mintz, 2016)
Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping
Classroom is a whole room with students and small groups will be good as well for splitting into smaller groups.
With small groups within the classroom students are addressed in the group as well as individually. And students within the group can help each other with the lesson and give each other feedback.
National/State Learning Standards
The standards are according to the state the school is in and there are certain standards and skills for the curriculum.
Common Core Standards are used within the lesson plans to make sure that the students reach academic goals and are able to get into college and be successful in their job/career.
Learning Objective Is an instructional objective that students will know the content and skills that must be mastered to learn the lesson successfully. (Estnes and Mintz, 2106)
The students will complete the objective with understanding and meet the goals of the objective.
Alignment The alignment allows effective and efficient learning. It aligns with the lesson plan using assessments and objectives.
The alignment is used to bring all the components together to reach the goal of the lesson plan. And to be able to comprehend the whole lesson.
Academic Language
Is the language used for the academic purpose of the lesson.
The academic language is used for all parts of the lesson to make it all work together within the lesson plan students need this language to accomplish the lesson.
Anticipatory Set A piece from the lesson spoken about first to get students attention right from the beginning of the lesson.
The purpose of the anticipatory set is to get the students engaged right from the start of the lesson and to get their attention. Also it is used to help students get ready for the lesson.
Essential Questions
Essential questions are very important in instruction and learning and it is continuing with more questions.
The purpose of questions is so the students will ask questions to continue to work on the lesson and learn more and to develop more skills.
Extension Activity An extension activity is an activity that already exists. It extends the activity. It extends the learning in the activity for the students.
The purpose of extension activity is to give students a chance to use their knowledge and skill they already know to complete the activity and bring in more to the group to finish activity together.
Guided Practice Is extra guided practice from the teacher in the lesson and through what they have already learned.
The purpose of guided practice is so the student can have a chance to be guided by the teacher to bring out their full potential in their learning.
Independent Practice
Students will work on their own, to reinforce their skills in their learning.
The purpose of independent practice is to see what skills and knowledge students already have to complete lesson on their own.
Closure It is a quick review of the instructions of the lesson plan.
The purpose of closure is to give students a chance to make sure they understand the instruction and make sure either questions are asked.
Formal Assessment
It is used to assess how the student has learned.
The purpose of a formal assessment is for students to take an assessment on specific lessons they are working on to see where they have grown and what they still need to work on and what the teacher needs to accommodate or modify in the students learner.
Informal Assessment
An assessment used during day to day learning.
The purpose of informal assessment is used in everyday learning to evaluate the student and see their progress.
Pre-assessment An assessment that is used for a guideline to see where learning is at as well as academic level.
The purpose of this assessment is to see where the students are in their learning and what their reading level is.
Formative Assessment
Is an assessment that provides students and teachers with information about how students are progressing. ( Estes and Mintz, 2016)
The purpose of the formal assessment is to see what the student is understanding in instruction and the lessons, assignments, and goals to reach a good level of understanding academically. And gives the teacher time to adjust instruction if needed and to use scaffolding if needed.
Summative Assessment
An assessment is designed to occur at the end of a chunk of instruction in which students have had the opportunity for formative assessment feedback. (Estnes and Mintz, 2016)
The purpose of summative assessment is to get accurate feedback from formative assessment and to prepare for the end of the instruction summative assessment to see what the students have learned and what skills they have.
Scoring Rubric It is a guideline to make sure that all requirements of each piece of the assignment is complete.
The purpose of the scoring Rubric is so students will have a guideline of what is expected for completing their assignments.
the (SIOP) is just a backup but it is not really clear in the organization of it. This would be more
a difference of the two formats. The (SIOP) just gives standards, theme, and key vocabulary, not
well organized in bringing a good lesson plan together. So I think this format would be used for
last resort if needed.
A teacher needs a good lesson plan fully developed to give good instruction as well as the
students being able to understand and be successful in using their skills and knowledge to
complete the lesson.
