This article is about lesson planning. When we talk about lesson planning, it can be about several aspects: planning a single lesson, a week, or even planning an entire period of education. The latter is often the task of a college, a school or an institution on the basis of existing curricula and is often referred to as a work plan or material distribution plan. Teachers may wonder “which way they ought to go” before they enter a classroom. This usually means that teachers need to plan what they want to do in their classrooms. Most teachers engage in yearly, term, unit, weekly, and daily lesson planning (Yinger, 1980). Yearly and term planning usually involve listing the objectives for a particular program. A unit plan is a series of related lessons around a specific theme such as “The Family.” Planning daily lessons is the end result of a complex planning process that includes the yearly, term, and unit plans. A daily lesson plan is a written description of how students will move toward attaining specific objectives. It describes the teaching behavior that will result in student learning.
