The six steps of the ASSURE Model (Azia, 2003 & Shepard, n.d.) 1. Analyze Learners The first step in the ASSURE process is to know and understand the target audience. It is important to know the students' general characteristics (e.g. grade, age ethic group, gender, and socioeconomic level), learning styles (e.g. verbal, visual, tactual) and entry competencies (e.g. prior knowledge, skills, attitudes). 2. State Objectives Once you know the learners, the next step is to state the objectives. Establishing direct learning outcomes will specify what the learners will gain from the lesson and the criteria for technology integration. For more informatin about writing objectives, visit the ABCD's of writing objectives web site. 3. Select Methods, Media, and Materials after you have knowledge of your learners and stated objectives; the next step is to select the instructional method, media and materials that will be appropriate for the teaching and learning environment. Technology integration is determined in the selection of methods, media, and materials. 4. Utilize Media and Materials Once the methods, media, and materials have been chosen, you are ready to implement them into the lesson. It is always helpful to make sure you know how to use the technology and check to make sure it works before you put your lesson into action. Have a backup plan in case of malfunction. 5. Require Learner Participation Provide opportunities for students to participate and reflect during the learning process. Some examples you could use is question and answers, group work, hands-on activities, WebQuests and discussions. 6. Evaluate and Revise Last, you should reflect upon the lesson and revise where needed. Obtain input from the learners through group discussion, exit interviews, assessments, and other types of student feedback. And remember..."You are not a bad teacher if a lesson does not work. You are a bad teacher if you don't reflect upon your lessons and work on revising elements of the lesson until your students become successful learners" (Shepard, n.d.).

Common Lesson Plan Models

.. adapted from Writing Lesson Plans from the Huntington College Education Department

Madeline Hunter's (Seven Steps)

Anticipatory Set (setting the stage)--attention-getter and focuser Statement of Objectives--tell students what they'll be able to do as a result of the lesson

Instructional Input--lecture, but not necessarily lecture: demo, explanation, instructions Modeling--demonstrate, show what you tell Check for Understanding--watch faces, ask questions Guided Practice--help students start practicing new skills, applying new knowledge Independent Practice--turn them loose to work on their own, homework assignment, etc. Example

Bloom's Taxonomy and Critical Thinking

Knowledge - recall Comprehension - understand Application - use, practice Analysis - dissect, generalize Synthesis - create, combine Evaluation - appraise, value Example

Multiple Intelligences (Howard Gardner's 7 Ways of Knowing)

Verbal Mathematical Spatial Musical Kinesthetic Interpersonal Intrapersonal Example

Instructional Scaffolding (Jerome Bruner; Langer & Applebee)

Ownership--wish to learn Appropriateness--right level Support--structured guidance Collaboration--coaching Internalization--independent practice Example

Other Formats

Discovery Lesson (eg. Lab) o Equipment o Set the stage o Don't state objectives yet o Give instructions

Check for understanding Guided practice (lab) Discussion, regrouping Statement of objectives Independent practice (e.g. lab journal) Assessment Group Work (eg. Cooperative Learning) Equipment o Set the stage o State objectives o Give instructions o Check for understanding o Group work o Guided practice o Discussion o Regrouping o Summary o Assessment MiniCycles (eg. vocabulary lesson) o Equipment o Set the stage o State objective o Cycles:

Overview
Careful lesson planning can help to insure the successful running of your courses. Incorporating best practices in teaching and learning into the design process will help students meet learning objectives for your course. What is a lesson plan and what should it contain?

There are many different styles of lesson planning, but most contain similar elements, based on what is known about promoting student learning: 3-5 lesson objectives (and the connection to the broader course objective). At the end of this lesson, students will be able to... MORE Content to be covered Activities (lecture, group work, problem-solving, case studies, think-pair-share, etc.) Resources and materials needed (including technology) Timing Out of class work and assessment

The 5 E Learning Cycle Model

Engagement

Object, event or question used to engage students. Connections facilitated between what students know and can do. Objects and phenomena are explored. Hands-on activities, with guidance. Students explain their understanding of concepts and processes.

Exploration

Explanation New concepts and skills are introduced as conceptual clarity and cohesion
are sought.

Elaboration extend understanding and skill. Evaluation

Activities allow students to apply concepts in contexts, and build on or Students assess their knowledge, skills and abilities. Activities permit evaluation of student development and lesson effectiveness.
