 Write learning/ lesson plans using the specified learning competencies reflections, and effective
communication skills.

Writing My Learning / Lesson Plans

Lesson Plan / Learning Plan – This refers to the blueprint of the daily teaching and learning
activities. It is a step-by-step guide which helps teachers in maintaining the quality of instruction. Lesson
plans consist of essential components such as learning outcomes, learning content, resources and
procedures. An effective lesson plan has a great impact on the teaching-learning process. It is a must
that teachers plan their lessons effectively to ensure a successful instructional experience. There are
three types of lesson plans: detailed, semi detailed and brief. Some schools design their own lesson
plan template which includes their vision, mission, goals and core values.

The Department of Education has provided templates for Detailed Lesson Plan (DLP) and Daily
Lesson Log (DLL). This was done to institutionalize instructional planning which is vital to the teaching-
learning process. Guidelines were formulated to assist teachers in planning, organizing and managing
their lessons to meet the needs of the diverse learners.

Teachers must also keep in mind that in stating the learning outcomes, the three domains must
be considered (Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor). Outcomes must be stated in terms that are
specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound (SMART). The cognitive domain includes
remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating.

When writing lesson plans, the learning outcomes, activities and assessment must be
constructively aligned. The instructional strategies used must help in the attainment of the learning
outcomes. The modes of assessment must determine if the outcomes were attained at the end of the
lesson.

With all these information in mind, you are all set in writing your lesson plan. Based on the
instructions given by your Cooperating Teacher, prepare your lesson plan (s) based on the learning
competencies of the lesson. Consider the age appropriateness and level of communication of your
students.

Request lesson plan exemplars / lesson plan templates from your Resource Teacher. If not
available, you can make use of the basic components of a lesson plan.
