Learner-Centered Lesson Planning

Learner-Centered Lesson Plan

• An approach where students take ownership of their learning, rather than passively receiving instruction.

Lesson Planning (Before Class)

• Guidelines for planning lessons before, during, and after class.
• Identify Learning Objectives: Define learning goals before planning the lesson. The goal defines what learners will know or be able to do.
• Plan Specific Learning Activities: Design activities to develop skills and knowledge. Teachers should consider the types of activities students will need.
• Plan to Assess Student Understanding: Use various assessment methods (reports, problem sets, performance) to evaluate student learning. Provide students opportunities to demonstrate knowledge and skills. Get feedback to plan better learning approaches in the future
• Plan to Sequence the Lesson Engagingly: Use a nine-step method (Robert Gagné) to organize lessons effectively, using Bloom's Taxonomy for stimulating and meaningful instruction.

Creating a Realistic Timeline

• Focus on a few key concepts (2-3), instead of trying to cover everything in detail.

Planning for Lesson Closure

• Give students the chance to solidify their learning and check understanding. Adjust teaching methods as needed.

During the Class: Presenting Your Lesson Plan

• Inform students of key objectives and upcoming activities to keep engagement.

After the Class: Presenting Your Lesson Plan

• Reflect on what worked well in the lesson plan. Identify areas for improvement.

Types of Lesson Plans

• Daily Lesson Plan: A daily plan for in-class or at-home instruction.
• Unit Plan: A plan for a larger block of instruction (e.g., a unit of study).

Brief Lesson Plan Example

• Objectives:
• Identify various landforms of a specific region (e.g. Luzon).
• Explain the structure of different landforms.
• Provide insights into the topic being covered.
