I’m trying to create a “relatively” simply lesson plan format using the P.O.R.T.A.L.S. framework in order to help learners become more metacognitive. Here’s what I have so far….
^Goals/Objectives (Purpose)
^Outcomes (Action)
*Sources/Rationale
^Teacher Role(s) (Teamwork)
^Knowing the Learner(s)
^Instructional Strategies
*Procedures/Activities (Operations)
*Resources/Materials
*Monitoring, Feedback & Assessment
*Reflection
^Learner Role(s)
*Partnership with Teammates
*Managing Own Learning (Self-Management)
*Operations
*Understanding Goals (Purpose), Content (Laying a Foundation), Instruction (Operations)
*Making Choices
*Monitoring & Reflecting
*Practice/Application/Extension (Remembering) (Action)
^Content (Laying a Foundation)
^Resources
^Follow Through and Follow Up (Action)
—————————————————————————————————————
For each of these lesson planning categories, I plan to offer some suggestions for how a teacher might make the lesson more likely to increase the learner’s metacognitive skills.
More to come…
For now, it’s the weekend off. Lucky me.
