While I do not create my lesson plans from scratch, I recognize that our objectives and standards are determined by our licensing authority and accrediting bodies. However, this lesson has reinforced the critical role I play as an instructor in ensuring that these expectations are met while also making the material engaging and relevant for my students.
I now see the importance of crafting objectives that are positive, specific, and realistic, providing a strong foundation for effective teaching. Moving forward, I plan to evaluate my lesson plan objectives using Bloom’s Taxonomy and the A-B-C-D model, which will help ensure clarity and alignment with best practices in instructional design.
This insight has deepened my understanding of how to refine lesson delivery, making learning more impactful for my students while maintaining compliance with established educational standards.
