 When developing
instruction, educators concentrate on instructional
outcomes from the beginning. At the center of
attention is the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and
processes that targets what the student should know and be able
to do. Planning then focuses on
expectations and student achievement toward the
standard(s)/benchmark(s) identified.
| Educators are constantly seeking ways to
help |
| students
understand and help themselves.
Rather |
| than
judging students by comparison to
others, |
| they
encourage students through
instructional |
| processes to strive for their personal
best. |
| The
challenge then becomes the
incorporation |
| of
teaching techniques that appeal to
different |
| learning
styles encouraging students to
want |
| to
learn. Since a variety of styles of thinking
and |
| learning
need to be nurtured, educators face
the |
| dilemma
of successfully reaching all
students. |
| Such
processes require higher cognitive
functions, |
| the
incorporation of advanced
investigative |
| techniques, and real-world
awareness. |
|
| Teachers attune to these needs
encouraging |
| students to consider the
following: |
|
|
|
View facts
and information in new |
|
and
different ways |
|
|
Raise new
questions |
|
|
Explore
unresolved issues |

| plan via a lesson plan
template. It also includes
the |
| process of submitting
your plan for publication on
the |
| Beacon Website.
Submitting your lesson plan to |
| Beacon is an excellent
means of providing an |
| outstanding
standards-based lesson for other
teachers |
