What is the purpose of lesson delivery?
In this component, teachers carefully implement lessons. Building on good preparation from the previous component, teachers monitor the success of a lesson in helping students meet objectives. This component reminds teachers to stay on track, even in the midst of unplanned situations.

What are the features of lesson delivery?
Feature #23: Support Content Objectives During Lesson
Objectives serve to remind everyone of the focus of the lesson and to provide a structure to classroom procedures. These objectives will bring more focus to classroom instruction.
Ideas for Supporting Content Objectives Include
Reference student-friendly objectives at the beginning, middle, and end of each lesson
Use whole class lessons focused on clear learning objectives in short instructional "chunks" or segments, punctuated by multiple cycles of guided practice and formative assessment
Feature #24: Support Language Objectives During Lesson
The teacher will spend some time explicitly reviewing how to meet the content objective with students. Teachers will not promote students' academic language development without explicit instruction in elements of academic language and without students having multiple opportunities to practice and use the language in a variety of contexts.
Ideas for Supporting Language Objectives During the Lesson Include
Students reread the objective chorally with the class during the lesson to re-focus the students
Ask students what they have done up to that point in the lesson that relates to the objective
Pause periodically and have students rate how well they are meeting the objective (e.g. Thumbs up - I got it, Thumbs down - I am lost, Thumbs sideways - I am getting there
Feature #25: Promote Student Engagement
In this feature, teachers are called to engage students 90% to 100% of the time. This means students are paying attention and are on task. This does not mean that they are highly active in writing, moving, and reading the whole time, but are following the lesson, responding to teacher direction, and performing the activities as expected.
Ideas for Supprting Student Engagement Include
For younger learners, use tasks with objects they can manipulate, movements, and learning games
Connect content to older students' current or future lives
Offer choice in tasks, texts, or partners
Set up learning centers
Differentiate instruction
Feature #26: Pace Lesson Appropriately
Pacing refers to the rate at while information is presented during a lesson. The pace of the lesson depends on the rate of the lesson's content, as well as the level of students' background knowledge. Finding an appropriate pace requires practice, but becomes easier as teachers develop familiarity with their students' language and academic skills.
Ideas for Supporting Pacing Include
Chunk important information in smaller conceptual units
Allow time for processing material
Select most important concepts
EL teacher may augment instructional time by introducing key vocabulary and build background before the content teacher
