Edu. 381 Curriculum & Instructional Design week 5 DQ2

An educator’s daily lesson plan is the most detailed and updated guide that they have to facilitate learning in their classroom. In essence, lesson planning is the educator’s opportunity to decide, in advance what curriculum to introduce, the instructional delivery method they will use, and how intended objectives will be assessed. After reading chapter 8, perform these two tasks.

• Jones, Jones, and Vermette (2011) did a three year study of novice educators’ lesson planning practices to determine if patterns of common blunders may exist in their design process.
  • Discuss the six most common pitfalls that research uncovered that novice educators make when planning lessons.
• Read Valerie’s case from the classroom found in section 8.6 in your textbook.
  • Answer question number three: “Valerie claims to use three different planning models: direct instruction, inquiry based (specifically, the 5E model), and social interaction, depending on the day, the objective, and the activity. Critique her match of models with the lesson purpose. Offer your own examples of each of these models for a curricular area of your choice.”  (Hansen et al., 2015)

You MUST refer to chapter 8 in your text, additional resources and your own insights/experiences.
