Mapping a Lesson 

Every teacher plans really good content, but sometimes we forget to plan for Checking -for-Understanding, Engagement, and Higher-Order Thinking. That is, we don't plan for how we are going to deliver the content. 

The How is just as important as the What. The ability to effectively map a lesson is what separates a good teacher from a great teacher.  It's the secret sauce that makes all the difference. 

This workshop will immediately ‘actionalize’ your existing curriculum and step-up your created lessons.

You will learn specific strategies for 'working the page' in a sequential, learning-friendly way.

You will discover how to promote Higher-Order Thinking through any lesson you are teaching.

You will see how to identify and teach Content and Academic vocabulary within the lesson

You will be able to use specific engagement techniques to immediately enhance the learning of all students.

This next step, recommended after the Explicit Direct Instruction workshop, gives you a step-by-step guide for lesson delivery via engagement, language, and sequencing strategies, so you can achieve maximum effectiveness.
