6. Effective Lesson Planning According to Newman (2013) One of the most important elements is identifying the desired result or outcomes that you want your students to learn. The teacher should use the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) when deciding what needs to be covered. Setting Clear Objectives Evaluations, Assessments, Assignments and Activities are all crucial elements to lesson design. Formative Assessments Summative Assesments Using the Backwards Design Avoiding common pitfalls

7. Student Roles Students will help to initiate the classroom rules and expectations Participate as active learners and knowledge seekers Provide substantial feedback to the teacher for reflection of classroom strategies to reflect if these roles are accurate and efficient. According to Hattie (2009), extensive reviews of over 800 meta-analyses, which included over 50,000 studies and 200 million students, classroom behavior is the 6th most important contributor to a child’s academic success of the130 factors considered. Student-teacher relationships were the third most significant contributor.

8. Assessments Formative >Summative Formative will be my selected primary assessments Summative will still be applied, however used once formative assessments are successful to ensure learning has taken place.
