(3 minutes) What is a TLO?

Using the slides go over:

  • What is a TLO?
  • Why do we do them?
  • Which lessons will we be exploring?

(2 minutes) Lesson Planning Process Overview

Using the slides describe what’s going to happen:

  • You will have 60 minutes of planning time during the morning asynchronous time, and 60 minutes in the afternoon asynchronous time
  • You're welcome to keep planning after we finish today.

(5 minutes) Get Everyone in a Section

  • Use the section link you created for your teachers in your workshop to get all the teachers on the section for your room.

Producer Tip

Prepare breakout rooms for lesson planning. Distribute teachers evenly and randomly among the different lessons. If you do not have enough participants to cover all lessons, exclude Unit 2 Lesson 16

(5 minutes) Assign Groups

  • Randomly assign groups to teachers.
  • This can be done using the breakout rooms feature for teachers.

Lesson Planning Process (15 minutes)

(10 minutes) Overview of the Lesson Planning Process & Resources

Start by having teachers review the TLO overview in their Activity Packet (page 5).

Using slides remind participants:

  • They have an hour today and an hour this evening to plan for teaching their lesson
  • During the morning asynchronous session, we will be working on Step 1: Get Familiar with the Lesson
    • Spend this time mostly focused on understanding the lesson and all its resources - Later, we will focus on breaking down how to teach it
  • Review resources they can use in this process
    • How to access the lesson plans and code studio materials online
    • Point out the pages in the Curriculum Guide they can use to learn about the story of a unit
    • Lesson Slides
      • Point out where slides can be found
      • Explain the role and purpose of slides in implementing a lesson
    • Remind teachers that all activity guides teachers will need during the lesson will be in their Activity Packets
    • Point out the Lesson Tips and why they are there (Activity Packet pages 7 - 10)
      • We give guidance at workshops about what to focus on in the lesson because we are skipping between lessons and certain dependencies between lessons mean we won't do a certain activity or we want to focus on seeing one part of a lesson over the other because of time.

(5 minutes) Get Familiar with Lesson

Remarks

Remember you are not planning your lesson right now! We want you to work through the lesson as a student. This will help you identify potential pitfalls your students will run into when you teach the lesson. We suggest you take these steps when you get to your breakout room.

Prompt:

  • Read through the first page of the lesson plan
  • Read through the lesson planning guide
  • DO THE ACTIVITIES YOURSELF - Don't just read through the lesson plans. Make sure you work through the activities as a student
    • You shouldn't make assumptions about how activities will play out.
    • It's important that you test out the activities themselves.

Before digging deeper into the lesson, what clarification do you need on lesson planning?

Remind teachers that they will have time during the next asynchronous period to finish lesson planning. The biggest goal right now should be to get through reading the lesson and doing the activity.

Put teachers in lesson planning breakout rooms.
