Lesson Plan Outcomes Time Frame Benchmarks Assessment Evidence Standard Activities Curricular Resources Materials Outcomes are the end results of the lesson. What do you want the students to be able to do as a result of instruction? This is where you state the reason for the lesson. Why is the lesson important to the students? The benchmarks define the content used to make decisions about instruction. Describe what you will do during the lesson. The amount of detail will vary depending on the lesson, instructor and audience - more detail may be needed if other teachers will be using your plan. Explain how you will know if the students have achieved the lesson’s objective. How will we show we know it? Student Goals
