Good lesson plans mean more effective instruction that maximizes student learning. This workshop will serve as a model for effective lesson planning, focusing on formulating teachable learning objectives and how to align teaching strategies to them. We will break down the process of creating effective lesson plans into manageable steps, providing the opportunity to tailor these to the needs of your individual disciplines.
