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 participants to design and implement an effective lesson plan to meet the diverse needs of learners.

Workshop runs from 10:50 a.m. - 11:40 a.m.
