Heinich, Molenda, Russell, and Smaldino (2001) refer to the ABCD’s of writing objectives: Instructional objectives must be specific, outcome-based, and measurable, and they must describe learner behavior. Objectives can communicate to learners what is expected of them-but only if they are shared with learners in an accessible manner. It is essential that the objective be clear and describe the intended learning outcome. Objectives are critical to effective instruction because they help instructors plan the instructional strategies and activities they will use, including the materials and resources to support learning. From the topic, derive the lesson objective or desired results-the concepts and ideas that learners are expected to develop and the specific knowledge and skills that learners are expected to acquire and use at the end of the lesson. During this process, they determine the lesson topic (if states have implemented content standards, the topic should derive from them). Lesson planning helps English as a second language (ESL), adult basic education (ABE), adult secondary education (ASE), and other instructors create a smooth instructional flow and scaffold instruction for learners.īefore the actual delivery of a lesson, instructors engage in a planning process. Lesson plans communicate to learners what they will learn and how they will be assessed, and they help instructors organize content, materials, time, instructional strategies, and assistance in the classroom. In education, the planning tool is the lesson plan, which is a detailed description of an instructor’s course of instruction for an individual lesson intended to help learners achieve a particular learning objective. Planning ahead to identify a course of action that can effectively reach goals and objectives is an important first step in any process, and education is no exception. Lesson planning communicates to learners what they will learn and how their goals will be assessed, and it helps instructors organize content, materials, time, instructional strategies, and assistance in the classroom. Planning ahead to identify a course of action that can effectively help learners reach their goals and objectives is an important first step in effective instruction.
