2005 O-PAS Manual Curriculum and Instruction 6.7

• 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 must include
• Standards and benchmarks being addressed
• Activities, materials and resources that will be
  used to teach the process and content being
  addressed
• Methods that will be used to assess learning
  gains and
• A 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 Components of Performance (COPs) are the
parts of the Standard. To perform the standard,
all the component must be addressed in your
lesson, but not necessarily all the benchmarks.

Lesson Plan
Benchmarks
Describe what you will do during the lesson. The
amount of detail will vary depending on the
lesson, instructor and audience - more detail may
be needed if other teachers will be using your
plan.
Explain how you will know if the students have
achieved the lessons objective. How will the
students show they know it?
Outcomes
Outcomes are the end results of the lesson. What
do you want the students to be able to do as a
result of 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.
