Designing For Learning

Lesson Plan

Lesson planning is essential in elementary education. Lesson planning provides structure, accountability and most importantly, a purpose to learning. Planning ensures a teacher is aligning lessons with curriculum goals, accommodating diverse student needs, and considering Indigenous, multicultural and interdisciplinary activities and knowledge. Thoughtful planning fosters engaging, meaningful activities, creating a supportive environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally while achieving key learning outcomes.
