  2. Chapter 8 Key Points • Effective Lesson Planning requires careful consideration of: • Class size • Frequency • Personal characteristics of the children • Children’s skill levels and interests • The Skill Theme Approach organizes the content around skill themes and concepts (movement, fitness and wellness)

  3. The Four-Step Plan to develop a program Step 1: Develop a curriculum scope and sequence for all the elementary years Step 2: Develop a yearly plan for the scope and sequence Step 3: Decide on focus skill themes, movement and fitness concepts including cues to be emphasized Step 4: Develop daily lesson plans

  4. Chapter 8 Key Points Planning Considerations Step 1: Scope and Sequence: defines WHAT is included in the curriculum, in what order and at what grade level the content will be taught Step 2: Devise the yearly overview which indicates how much time (how many days) to allocate to teaching the skills and concepts to various grade levels • Lower Elementary emphasis on concepts and Upper Elementary emphasis on skill themes. • Next, transfer yearly overview to a yearly calendar, indicating projected days for content to be covered throughout the school year

  5. Chapter 8 Key Points Planning Considerations (cont) • Yearly outlines serve only as guide –reflective teachers will make changes during the year to reflect progress and interests of children Step 3: Establish benchmarks once the scope, sequence and yearly overview are determined. These can be used as guides to what the students are expected to learn throughout your program Step 4: Daily Lesson Planning – required for beginning teachers to: • Understand how to teach the skill theme content • Accommodate individual variations

  6. Chapter 8 Key Points Some additional points about planning • Is difficult but necessary task – set aside appropriate amounts of time for planning, trying out new ideas and attempts to make lesson exciting • Goal is to help children become skillful movers; they need opportunities to practice skills in meaningful, enjoyable contexts which maximizes their participation in successful and challenging situations

  7. Questions Teachers Must Ask 1. What do I want to include in my curriculum and at what grade levels will I emphasize the various concepts and skills? 2. How many days a year will I be able to allocate to teaching each concept and skill theme? 3. What are the benchmarks or checkpoints that I will use to assess the progress my students are making? 4. What tasks and cues will I teach each day in my lessons?
