Creating a Meta Lesson Plan

on August 17, 2012

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.
