Creating an effective lesson plan is an integral part in delivering
instruction. A well formulated lesson plan provides a guide for managing the learning environment.

In this workshop, the importance of preparation by completing a needs analysis and creating learning outcomes will be explored. The participants will examine suggested elements in a lesson plan, as well as, an effective lesson plan template. The plan will identify what you will teach, how you will deliver the material and how the outcomes are measured. This session will enable par ticipants to design and implement an effective lesson plan to meet the diverse needs of learners.

‘Playing’ with students is a great way to facilitate peer connections and make a point about course content. Games within a class period can be used to ‘bring it all together’ after content has been covered, or ‘set the stage’ for content yet to be covered. Icebreakers
can actually be used throughout the semester and program to encourage students to get out of their social ‘comfort zone’, and connect with peers that they would not necessarily seek out. Whatever your motive, games and icebreakers make memories and add richness to the classroom!
