<>Combining concise theoretical explanations with practical, hands-on activities, Writing Effective Lesson Plans: A 5-Star Approach is a foolproof teacher’s guide to designing and developing successful lesson plans.

 

Developed by two educators with experience in both elementary and secondary classrooms, the 5-Star approach to lesson planning is a step-by-step procedure designed to streamline the detailed process of lesson planning and make teaching performance smoother and more efficient. Coined as the Five-Star Lesson Plan by the authors, this model consists of five classic components: lesson description, goals and objectives, materials and tools, procedures, and reflective assessment and evaluation.

 

From the basic components of preparation to the intricacies of development, this workbook guides beginning and experienced teachers through each of the five steps for creating a lesson plan that best meets the needs of every student.  It also explores the inherent challenges to effective lesson planning, such as time efficiency, knowledge construction, skill development, involving the students’ families, and implementing your plan. This text is a one-stop resource that encourages deep and thoughtful learning of a skill that is often not sufficiently developed in teacher preparation programs or in classroom experiences.

  • Each chapter is introduced with a short, descriptive preview of the chapter’s objectives.
  • Hands-on, workbook style approach that prompts you to plan, to write, and to reflect upon possible lesson planning scenarios as you read.
  • “What’s the Plan?” asks you targeted reflective questions about the content and allows you to ponder and write in the book.
  • “Your Turn: Practice Sheets” allow the teacher to apply the concepts they’ve learned to their real-life classroom.
  • The Appendix is full of helpful accompaniments, including guidelines for lesson planning projects, analysis activities, sample lesson plans, and a blank 5-Star Lesson Plan Worksheet to use as you plan your 1st lesson.
  • A Glossary of key terms is a quick, useful reference.
  • Suggested Readings are provided at the end of the book for further information about the topics addressed in this book.

Writing Effective Lesson Plans: A 5-Star Approach

“The idea of a lesson-planning workbook is fascinating; the contents and second chapter of [The 5-Star Lesson Plan] suggest that it can be done — that the concept of lesson planning can be taught explicitly and systematically in a relatively short time.   The author(s) are to be commended for trying to bridge theory and practice in this important area of pre-service teacher preparation.”

        -            Mary F. Leslie, Louisiana State University, Eunice

 

“The materials approach beginning lesson planning methodically with rational, understandable, specific explanations that are presented in a developmentally appropriate manner.”
