Research-Based Lesson Planning Models
Intentionally designing instruction to guide student learning towards mastery of learning goals is a main element of a teacher’s work. There are many ways teachers prepare learning for their students and teachers may prefer one lesson planning format or template over another. While each teacher must find what works best for them in how they organize their lesson plans, teachers should understand and follow research-based lesson planning models, which have been shown to lead to student success in learning and create what Driscoll & Carliner (2005) refer to as “a framework of thinking” (p.9). Research-based lesson planning models are based on learning theories and are connected to educational philosophies.
