Lesson Plan Template

Lesson planning can take many different forms. A detailed general lesson plan template is introduced to candidates as part of the Education Core in Ed 361 (** link to template**). This template includes essential principles and practices that candidates will implement in their clinical experiences and future teaching. While all students learn this general lesson planning as part of the core, the Education Coordinating Council recognizes that each program may have a variety of different lesson planning templates and strategies that serve their discipline well. As a foundation for lesson planning, programs are encouraged to understand the template and associated principles introduced to students in Ed 361, and are provided flexibility to use different and perhaps more streamlined lesson plan templates in their program courses to help prepare students for the unique clinical experiences of their discipline.
