 What is Quality Teaching?
describes how to teach for deeper learning in developmentally
grounded and personalized ways, contextualize and apply
learning to real-world problems, and do so in productive
learning communities that address issues of equity and social
justice
Harvey and Green (1993): "Quality Teaching is teaching
that transforms students’ perceptions and the way they go
about applying their knowledge to real world problems.”
 What is Quality Teaching?
the way the knowledge, skills and ability of
the teacher are employed to develop
meaningful pedagogic experiences for
students

 Quality in teaching and learning requires an ability to:

Create a need to know in students so they genuinely engage in

learning
Develop ways to engage a diversity of learners at the same
time
Draw out and use students’ prior knowledge
Conceptual understanding of content
Building trusting relationships and safe learning
environments

Significance
of a Lesson
Plan
 Purpose of Lesson Planning
A lesson plan serves as a guide that a teacher uses
every day to determine what the students will learn,
how the lesson will be taught as well as how learning
will be evaluated.
Since every part of an effective lesson plan has an
impact on the learning process for students, it is
crucial to handle them by taking a strategic
approach.
Purpose of Lesson Planning

A lesson plan is a vital step towards

creating a complete curriculum.
 Why
Lesson
Plan?
“The overarching goal of lesson planning is to
make learning more impactful for students.”

- Chalk.com, 2021

teachers:
Approach each lesson with confidence.
Manage classroom time more.
Align learning with standards.
Bring substitute teachers up-to-speed.
 Having a daily structure in place helps
teachers:

Plan – and perfect – into the future .

Document their own progress.
Keep learning consistent .

 Tips for an
Effective
Teaching

 Planning a Teaching
Demonstration
⮚A successful teaching demonstration
ultimately comes down to careful planning
and practice.
⮚The guidelines and tips will get you started.
 A. Know your Audience
❖ Will you be teaching a class of actual
students, a group of faculty, the hiring
committee, or some combination of these
three groups?
❖ What level of student should you be
preparing for?
 B. Make your Material fit the Course and
the Time
❖ If you’re given a topic to teach in an actual
course, find out where that topic fits into
the course itself.
❖ Plan enough time for any activities you’ll
include
 C. Engage your Students

❖Get the students interested,

involved, and interacting positively
with you and with one another
 D. Use Technology Purposefully and
Effectively

alternative plan.
 E. Have a Backup Plan. Have Another.

❖ Create your ideal lesson plan, a contingency

plan
