Lesson Plan Development: Applying Micro-credential Learning
Having pursued a micro-credential, you have engaged in focused, specialized learning. To bridge the space between this knowledge acquisition and its practical classroom application, please demonstrate your understanding in the form of a comprehensive lesson plan. By creating a lesson plan that directly applies what you've learned, you are not only showcasing your mastery but also preparing yourself to provide enriched experiences to your students.
Guidelines:
Lesson Objective: Clearly state the main objective of the lesson. What will students know or be able to do by the end of the lesson?
Alignment with Micro-credential Content: Detail how the lesson reflects specific concepts, skills, or strategies you acquired during your micro-credentialing journey. This should be a clear demonstration of your mastery of the content.
Instructional Procedures: Outline step-by-step procedures for the lesson. Include introductions, main activities, groupings, methods, and any differentiation strategies you plan to employ.
Materials and Resources: List any materials, technologies, or external resources that will be required for the lesson. Highlight any that directly relate to or were recommended during the micro-credential program.
Assessment and Evaluation: Describe how you will assess student understanding and the success of the lesson. Incorporate any innovative assessment techniques or tools you encountered in your micro-credentialing program.
