The Teaching & Learning Plans are structured as follows:
Aims outline what the lesson, or series of lessons, hopes to achieve.
Prior Knowledge points to relevant knowledge students may already have and also
to knowledge which may be necessary in order to support them in accessing this new
topic.
Learning Outcomes outline what a student will be able to do, know and understand having completed the topic. Relationship to Syllabus refers to the relevant section of either the Junior and/or Leaving Certificate Syllabus.
Resources Required lists the resources which will be needed in the teaching and
learning of a particular topic.
Introducing the topic (in some plans only) outlines an approach to introducing the
topic.
Lesson Interaction is set out under four sub-headings:
i. Student Learning Tasks – Teacher Input: This section focuses on teacher input
and gives details of the key student tasks and teacher questions which move the
lesson forward.
ii. Student Activities – Possible and Expected Responses: Gives details of
possible student reactions and responses and possible misconceptions students
may have.
iii. Teacher’s Support and Actions: Gives details of teacher actions designed to
support and scaffold student learning.
iv. Checking Understanding: Suggests questions a teacher might ask to evaluate
whether the goals/learning outcomes are being/have been achieved. This
evaluation will inform and direct the teaching and learning activities of the next
class(es).
Student Activities linked to the lesson(s) are provided at the end of each plan.
