Designing Learning: Details


Crafting the best lesson means crafting a lesson where children are engaged, active, inspired, and learning. Signs of a lesson taught well include the following:
  • Students are active, engaged, and focused throughout the lesson.
  • It's not too easy. Students have to struggle a bit with conversation, debate, and research.
  • Students express questions and new ideas related to the lesson concept, knowledge, and skill.
  • Students use the language of the lesson in their speak long after the lesson.
  • Students replicate the lesson in their independent and collaborative work.
  • Students embed the lesson's intent and focus in future work.
The age old adage, "You can give a man a fish and he eats for a day or you can teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime," is a good rule of thumb when crafting lessons.  Every lesson should be crafted to help students become independent and inspired in their learning.
