Lesson Planning: Attention and Reflection

Featured Content

We continue our conversation from Episode 35, as we discuss the finer details of lesson planning: grabbing student attention and reflecting on the lesson.

Grab & Maintain Student Attention

Use random selection in calling upon students (pop sticks, give warning)
Vary who you call on and how you call on them (plan for who you will call on, fertilize the conversation)
Ask questions before calling on a student; wait at least five seconds for a response, allow for second wait time
Be animated; show enthusiasm and interest (vegas lounge act, humor)
Vary instructional methods
Provide work of appropriate difficulty
Demonstrate and model the types of responses or tasks you want students to perform
Provide guided practice for students; monitor responses and deliver immediate corrective feedback

Reflection on Your Lesson

Summarize the lesson and focus on positive gains made by students; use surprise reinforcers as a direct result of their good behavior
Determine if the lesson was successful; were goals accomplished? How do you know?
What would/could you do differently?
