Document Summary
A lesson plan is a blueprint that outlines the training program in terms of sequence of activities and events that will take place. A lesson is a cohesive unit of instruction with a specific learning objective. A lesson plan cover page should include: training objectives, trainees and instructor, time allocation and location, classroom requirements and seating, training materials and equipment, trainee supplies and handouts. The sequencing of the various activities in the lesson is an important consideration. Common approaches include: general to specific, easy to difficult, concrete to abstract, old to new, simple to complex, familiar to unknown, present to future. Beginning with simple and familiar eases learners into new content and experiences. It builds trainee self-efficacy: allows trainees to see how their current level of knowledge and experience is relevant for the training, ultimately it reduces learner anxiety and makes for a more comfortable learning experience. Lesson plan should focus on what trainees will be doing during the session.
