Factors affecting planning
1.) Student considerations- What do you know about them, individually and as a group? Are they easy or difficult to motivate? What do they already know about the subject you're planning to teach? How might they best learn? What accommodations will be needed for special students?
2. Content and process considerations- What main ideas and concepts are involved? Will you need to teach skills as well? In what order should the instruction be arranged? Can you devise a variety of learning activities and instructional methods to teach the material?
3. Time considerations- How much time is available for this part of the instructions? Are other school functions-- assemblies, plays, extracurricular activities-- or holidays and vacations likely to interfere? Do you need more than one day or one period?
4. School considerations- Are there district or state learning outcomes or standards to be considered? Graduation requirements? Legal requirements for special students?
5. Resource considerations- In addition to school textbooks and supplementary materials, are other resources available in the community, such as historical sites, museums, art galleries, or other special places? Are there people within the community who might provide a perspective?
6. teacher considerations- How knowledgeable are you about the material you're planning to teach> Can you present what you know in terms that students will understand?
7. technical considerations- Does your school have computer-assisted instructional resources that will aid your students to communicate via technological means? (Many schools require teachers to post course outlines and assignments online and students to submit their work online.)
Writing Performance Objectives
1.) The statement of an observable behavior, or performance, on the part of the learner
2.) A description of the conditions under which learner behavior or performance is poor
3.) The prescription of a minimally acceptable level of performance, or criterion, on the part of the learner
Condition: With the use of a protractor,
Performance: the student will construct a right triangle
Criterion measure: that meets a 3,4, 5 ratio
Elaboration of Conditions:
1. How the performance may be accomplished--for example, using memory, a textbook, a computer program, or calculator
2. Time elements (although time may also be used in evaluation)
3. Location of the performance (for example, in the classroom, in a gymnasium, or in the library)
4. What materials may be used to perform the tasks
A Model of Teaching Alignment
1) Outcomes/Objectives Content (plans)
2.) Evaluation (accountability)
3.)( Strategies (interactions, activities)
