Once the key understandings have been established, teachers must think of ways they will instruct a classroom. They need to be sure they are able to adapt their lessons for different students because not all students learn the same way. Teachers need to think of a instructional planning. This includes ensuring that the students will make a connection between what they are learning and what they previously learned. Teachers also want to make sure their students actually want to learn the subject matter by making it significant to them and catch their attention. Teachers want students to engage in the lessons so they must think of ways to get them involved and ask questions. If they students like what they are doing then they have a better chance at retaining the information learned and the processes used to make the project, which is the main goal. As students start to understand the less complex ideas, teachers can progress their lessons to be more complex and include more abstract thought.
Teachers need to have an action plan. They need to plan an objective around what needs to be taught and an assessment of how well the students learned it. Along with these objectives there are certain standards that must be met. There are both national and state standards that can be found for each grade level. The standards are generally left broad so that teachers can adapt them to better fit their needs. Next, teachers have to plan how they will actually teach the subject matter and what ways the students will be engaged in it. Teachers must make sure that what they are selecting to teach are relevant to the students. Class discussion is a point that should always be included in lesson plans. Students need to feel that what they have to say is important and that the teachers do care about them. Some students may shy away from becoming involved in this discussion, but thankfully there are many ways to try and get them out of their shells. At the end of day, teachers must be able to answer certain questions provided by the TETAC Curriculum Guidelines and if they can, teachers should know that their students will be successful in the class.
