Most of you probably feel as though we are asking
you to

• Yes we all can create a lesson, but what are
  key components that make up a GREAT lesson.

Components of a quality lesson

• What am I as a teacher looking for in a lesson?
• What is the district looking for when they
  observe my lesson?
• What do my students require for a quality lesson?

In your PLCs, please take a few minutes to
discuss and list components of quality lesson
