This document discusses the process of designing and planning teaching-learning lessons. It explains that instructional planning involves determining learner needs, defining objectives, designing assessments and activities. Lesson plans have three parts - the beginning, middle (presentation) and end. When planning instruction, teachers should identify objectives, plan learning activities and assessments, sequence lessons meaningfully, create timelines, and plan closures. Backward design starts by focusing on outcomes, while traditional planning focuses on presenting content linearly. Both models can achieve standards when the goal is for students to master skills by year's end. Effective lesson planning is important for achieving positive student outcomes.
