REQUIRED ELEMENTS
Standards are the centerpiece of a strong academic
program. They are your roadmap and provide the
what as teachers build curriculum, instruction, and
assessments.
Lesson Plans bring the standards and benchmarks to
life - identifies how certain content and skills will be
taught.
ABLE Lesson Plan Policy
ABLE instructors must plan lessons and produce lesson plans. This helps focus the
learning process on student goals and needs articulated in the students’ ILPs.
Lesson plans can take many forms. They may be produced for individual
students or classes. At a minimum a lesson plan includes:
 Expected outcomes of the activity
 Ohio standards and benchmarks being addressed
 Activities, materials and resources that will be used to teach the process
and content being addressed
 Methods and/or materials that will be used to assess learning gains
 An estimated timeline for completing the instruction

Student Goals
This is where you state the reason for the
lesson. Why is the lesson important to the
students?
The Benchmarks define the content used to make decisions about instruction.

When developing a lesson plan template, remember that the
primary elements are required while the secondary elements
may be added to enhance the planning process.

Standard
Primary Element NRS EFL
List the title of the standard that is the focus of the lesson.
NRS (National Reporting System)
Use Math to Solve Problems and Communicate
EFL (Educational Functioning Levels)
Activity Addresses Benchmarks
Primary Element
Define the content used to make decisions about instruction. What is the primary benchmark for this
lesson? What other benchmarks can I cluster or connect to this benchmark?
Learner Prior Knowledge
Address the content and standard prior knowledge students should have before starting this lesson.
For example, would students need to know the scientific method (content) and have experience using
reading strategies such as questioning, predicting, comparing and contrasting (standard)?

Materials
Primary Element
What materials will be needed? What handouts will I need to develop and attach? What advance preparation
is needed?
Instructional Activities
Design and carry out learning activities that:
•Use a contextual real-life application with authentic materials
•Follow an explicit instructional model
•Describes learning sequentially and actively
•Provide adaptations for higher and lower level learners (differentiation)
•Continually evaluate student learning and make instructional adjustments

Teacher Reflection/Lesson Evaluation
Take some time to evaluate how the lesson went and what you might change to improve for next time.
Next Steps
Determine what students need to do next in their learning process. Do they need more practice to master
a particular skill or do they need to apply the skill in another context? Or are they ready to move on?
Technology Integration
What websites or assistive technologies were used during this lesson? List website name and URL.
Adaptations
For multi-level classrooms, what strategies/activities were used for lower level students? for higher level
students? How did you differentiate (scaffold) learning? Can also be embedded or called out in the
Instructional Activities section.
