Task Alignment/Lesson Plan (weekly)
| Task Alignment | |
| Objective/Standard | State the standard in measurable terms. Should be easy to understand and aligned with state standards. |
| Task | State the task or tasks that you would use to ensure that students master the objective. |
| Plans | |
| Standard(s) | Write the standard here again, as this is 2 assignments in one. The plans begin here. |
| Procedures | The statement of the task (above) does not include detailed procedures. You will state those here in the lesson plans. List what the teacher will do and what the students will do. Include days of week: Monday – Tuesday – Wednesday – Thursday – Friday – |
| Assessments | Describe assessments, what kind of formative, will they have a summative assessment this week – if so, state it |
| Differentiated Instruction | What will you do to satisfy different levels of learning, learning styles, etc.? |
| Technology | How will technology be incorporated into the lesson(s). Even if already stated in the procedures, list it here |
| Materials | What will you use throughout the week? |
| Research – Based | Cite research-based activities, materials, etc. |
This is a basic template for weekly lesson plans. Very likely you will be required to submit lesson plans that are much more detailed when you are teaching in an actual classroom. For the purpose of this course, I want to make sure you understand the general idea of preparing a lesson and including all of the basic required parts. I would choose a standard that is simple and that can be mastered within one week. You do not need a summative test every week, but you might want one. Mississippi State Standards are general exit standards and must be broken down into objectives or learning goals. Many districts call them “I Can statements”. I will provide an example as-soon-as I have time to write one, but I wanted you to have the general idea, so you can begin planning. This assignment is for 200 points and sums up the rest of course.
Plans should be used to help you prepare for instruction. Your principal will also need to understand what you will be doing in the classroom, by reading your plans. I suggest plans as-simple-as your principal will allow.
