1. How to Write Lesson Plan Using the DGI Instructional Model

2. What is meant by DGI??? DGI is based upon the work of Madeline Hunter and Barak Rosenshine, and is often referred to as a form of "direct teach." Your text also refers to this model. Although it is one of the many variations on the direct teach model, for our purposes, we are using the term "direct teach" to indicate a lecture model, and we are using "DGI" to indicate the demonstration/guided/independent model that Hunter and Rosenshine made popular.

3. Sequence of Activities for DGI Teacher demonstration

4. Sequence of Activities for DGI Teacher demonstration Guided practice with teacher supervising

5. Sequence of Activities for DGI Teacher demonstration Guided practice with teacher supervising Students complete same activities independently

6. Teacher demonstrates; students do it with teacher supervision, then independently.

7. Now.....are you asking? How do I write that up correctly and make all my instructors and associate teachers happy?

8. Begin with the basic lesson plan template... Input information in Steps 1-7 and save Step 9 for after the lesson. It’s fairly straight forward! STEP 8 is the step that must include the procedure you will use to teach the lesson.

9. Look more closely at STEP 8 STEP 8 is composed of a sequence of 4 activities: 8.a. Introduction 8.b. A Sequence of Teaching and Learning 8.c. Application 8.d. Closure and Assessment Let’s examine this sequence of events!

10. We begin with the Introduction... TWO components Focus Activity HOOKS the learner Introduces the learning objective and ties this new content of the lesson to content student already knows (prior knowledge)

11. We begin with the 8a. Introduction... TWO components Focus Activity Advanced Organizer Tells students what they will be learning in the lesson EVERY lesson starts with these 2 activities!

12. Next is the “8B. Sequence of Teaching & Learning” This changes depending upon the learning objectives for the lesson: What do you want your students to be able to do, know, or be after the instruction? NEW content is presented with activities that ensure students learn content/skills/concepts!! Many instructional designers call these activities “developmental activities” because students “develop” new knowledge, skills, and concepts!

13. Next is the “8B. Sequence of Teaching & Learning” The learning outcomes for the DGI instructional model are usually related to learning new skills or procedures. Students will practice the new skills and perform a task or take an assessment!

14. The statements for 8B “spell out” exact steps for the lesson: Teacher Demonstration: Steps teacher will use to demonstrate skill Guided Practice: Materials/activities students will use to practice skill (Some statement about how teacher will provide feedback here.) Independent Practice: Materials/activities students will use to practice independently Write something like this for your lesson plan!

15. NOW...8C should describe any independent practice that occurs in the lesson... Independent practice should occur in all of the lessons!! SO describe how you will facilitate student learning and provide feedback in this paragraph!

16. 8D will describe closure & assessments... Closure Teacher asks several questions to help students summarize what was learned in the lesson (STUDENTS do the work)

17. 8D should describe closure & assessments... Closure Teacher asks several questions to help students summarize what was learned in the lesson (STUDENTS do the work) Teacher does NOT state what they learned in the lesson today. This is not closure!!

18. 8D should describe closure & assessments... Closure Assessments Documentation of student achievement Tests, quizzes, essays, reports, projects This is formal and usually marked! EVERY lesson ends with a closure session! Not all lessons end with a formal assessment!

19. TO REVIEW STEP 8 should have these steps! Presentation Steps: 1. Introduction Focus Activity Advanced Organizer 2. Developmental Activities Teacher Demonstration Guided Practice w/ Feedback Independent Practice 3) Assessment Activities Closure or review Formal Assessments ALL lesson plans have these two components! ONLY the developmental activities are different depending upon the instructional model being used!

20. TO REVIEW STEP 8 should have these steps! Presentation Steps: 1. Introduction Focus Activity Advanced Organizer 2. Developmental Activities Teacher Demonstration Guided Practice w/ Feedback Independent Practice 3) Assessment Activities Closure or review Formal Assessments Lesson plans using DGI Instructional Model should have these steps here!
