Creating a Lesson Plan

In creating a lesson plan designed for Kindergarten students in mine. I was thinking about capturing my short-term goal of the lesson plan designed as a corporate trainer. First, I had to take off my business hat and put on my teachers thinking hat to come up with a concept and context knowledge to develop a curriculum designed for studying and researching. As most of you teachers know and understand, that the expected outcome of a lesson plan is to develop a curriculum objective in the form of a lesson plan.

The process in developing the plan became complex. I gained insight about how students think and learn about a chosen topic. Like any project, the design of a lesson plan starts with a goal. I had to ask myself the following questions:

1. What type of subject I would like to focus on?


2. What are some of the students learning difficulties?


3. What are some things I wish to teach the students in the design of the lesson plan?


After analyzing my questions and the content of the course project, I decided to curtail my lesson plan to social studies. Whereby, I could only focus on one study group. During the design of the lesson plan,I was fascinated with the UDL builder and all the resources that are available for teachers to teach a curriculums that are align with the students’ learning goals.
