PLC LESSON PLAN 2

Lesson Plan: Common Core Standards

I. Subject: Education Topic: Common Core Standards Grade: College

II. Standards: (NJ Department of Education, 2014).

New Jersey Professional Standards for Teachers

Standard Four: Content Knowledge

The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the discipline(s)
he or she teaches, particularly as they relate to the Common Core Standards and the New Jersey
Core Curriculum Content Standards and creates learning experiences that make these aspects of
the discipline accessible and meaningful for learners to assure mastery of the content.

III. Learning Objectives and Assessments:

Learning Objectives Assessments

SWBAT describe what the CCS are and
how they relate to the NJSLS, critique the
CCS for their value in regard to content
instruction, and develop their own opinion
about the ways to implement and amend
these standards to meet the needs of their
own future classroom.
TWBAT assess student comprehension on
CCS by looking at the final results of the
Kahoot!, listen for student’s critical thinking
about CCS in discussions throughout the
lesson, and view the students’ developed
opinion by seeing their answer to the final
question on the Kahoot!

IV. Materials:
● Power Point
● Projector
● Kahoot!

accomodating and useful for all subjects and learning styles.
