Lesson Planning
Many models exist for planning and delivering lessons. We have used the Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) Network BOPPPS model to frame our lesson planning and our observation form. The CARD model is another approach to lesson planning. Find the below downloadable resources to support your use of this structure.
Effective Questions
Questions can be used to promote lower-order thinking skills (accessing and making sense of existing knowledge) as well as higher-order thinking skills (eliciting the creation of new knowledge). Download the Spectrum of Effective Questions poster (PDF) below.
