SED 201: Introduction to Lesson Planning

• Does the lesson seem well-constructed, with an intro, a closing, and a logical order?
• Who wrote the lesson? I trust some sources more than others. Usually, universities, school districts, and professional organizations are good sources.
• How will I assess this lesson? Are questions, HW assignments, and quizzes included?
• Are there suggestions for differentiation or adapting the lesson for students with learning disabilities or other needs - multiple ways for students to do the activity?
• Does the lesson reflect themes of diversity/equity/inclusion?
• Is the information in the Lesson Plan accurate?
