While planning a lesson, a teacher should be guided by the learning outcomes envisaged by the curriculum:
Curriculum planning
Provides a framework for teachers to deliver content effectively and ensures that teaching aligns with the school's mission.
Curriculum standards
Outline what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. Reviewing these standards helps ensure that lessons target the desired learning goals.
Learning outcomes
Define the information, knowledge, understanding, skills, and behaviors that a learner should master after completing the curriculum.
Lesson objectives
Are the most specific statements of student learning. It's important for teachers to clearly and concisely express the outcomes of student learning at this level.
Lesson activities
Should be aligned with the lesson's learning objectives and meaningfully engage students.
