Lesson Planning

"Excellent job in getting lessons together. Stays late to make sure she has

everything that she needs."

-Sara Moyle, Bothwell Middle School

The state standards have helped me a great deal in my student teaching experience this semester. By following the the Michigan health education standards as well as the National Council for Social Studies standards I am able to align my daily lessons with those standards. Each lesson I teach corresponds with one of the varying standards, by doing this I am making sure that my students are being taught the information that is essential and valuable to the state.

Below is a photo taken after my "Super 8 Nutrient Hero" Lesson.

The lesson allowed students to learn the important nutrient for their body, as well as introduction to the 8 main nutrients we would be covering during the class. The student created a costume as well as presented the main facts to their classmates.

I always have my students engage in movement during my lessons. Planning activities in my lessons give the student meaning to the material is how I feel I can best reach my students. At the bottom the page you will find several examples I have attached that provide evidence that I am capable of thoroughly planning lesson plans that alight with state and national standards, as well as developing learning experiences for my students.
