Improving Your Lesson Plans

There are many sites that offer help on lesson planning . I have selected three sitese on this topic that you might find particularly useful.

1. Adprima has a wealth of information about writing effective lessons. There are many useful ideas here but the listing of common mistakes is particularly helpful in reviewing your own work.
Six Common Mistakes in Writing Lesson Plans (and what to do about them) by Dr. Bob Kizlik.

2. The CREATE for Mississippi  site has over 100 sample lesson plans and a very effective format for lesson plans that can be downloaded and used in MS Word.   You can find examples on the lesson template forms as well as information on how to use this format at this site.

3. Mager's Tips on Instructional Objectives  is a classic on writing behavioral objectives.  Although there are other methods for developing objectives, Mager's work is still widely used in career and technical education and in industrial training.
