Program Completer Lesson Plans and Disaggregated by Major and by Fieldwork Placement Lesson planning is a critical skill for all program completers. The process of planning lessons that address standards, that contain measurable objectives for the lesson, that align content with objectives and that provide opportunities for all students to learn is emphasized throughout the teacher candidate s program. The use of reflection, of thinking through the and materials needed for the class, as well as the process for assessing student learning are also components of good lessons. The actual presentation of the lesson is key, and breaking this aspect down into an introduction, the activities to achieve the objectives, and bringing closure to the lesson are integrated in the lesson planning process. All pedagogy faculty members utilize the same lesson plan format, and all lesson plans are assessed using the same lesson plan rubric. While lesson planning in courses early in a candidate s program is assessed by the instructor, and formative feedback is provided to candidates, a formal assessment of lesson planning skills is conducted during the fieldwork placement and again in the student teaching semester. A summary comparison of these assessments follows. A more comprehensive display of data disaggregated by major, by level and by year is included as Appendix A of this document. Data from the fieldwork placement is displayed below in the rows that are shaded, followed by data from student teaching. The data reflect the percentage of lesson planning components that were rated as or Distinguished.

There was at least one program completer in each of these majors in each academic year during the - year reporting period. Disaggregated data for these majors can be viewed in Appendix A. ** Too few completers were included in these cells to warrant a comparison. There were years during the - year reporting period in which there were no program completers. Disaggregated data for these majors can be viewed in Appendix A. A review of the data suggests that in the majority of majors, particularly in Elementary Education (ELED) and Elementary Education/Special Education (ELED/SPED) where a larger number of completers were assessed, competencies in lesson planning improved from assessment of lesson plans to assessment of lesson plans submitted during student teaching. The only minor decline in scores was in the component of lesson plan and Closure for ELED majors. These scores declined from 98.6% to 96.7% and from 94.59% to 9.7% respectively. The scores, however, still reflect a very high level of performance in these components.
