School Leadership: SJ's Integrated Lesson Plan (ILP)

The integrated lesson plan covers aspects like- SMART Objective, ABCD of learning objective, Bloom's Taxonomy, Cone of Learning, Multiple Intelligence, Differentiation on content, process, product, people and environment, Slow Learner Strategies. Gifted Learner Strategies, Checking for Learning and Checking for Concentration all integrated into one lesson plan. First, each aspect is described in brief. There is a model of an Integrated lesson plan. The implementation and follow up strategies for an integrated lesson plan is discussed in brief. 

The pre-planning chapters will cover the following aspects in brief and with examples as applicable

Smart Learning Objectives

Bloom’s Taxonomy on Learning Objectives

Differentiation Content, Process, Product & Environment

Cone of learning

Multiple Intelligence

Slow learners

Gifted Learners

Checking for Learning & concentration

Model of Integrated Lesson Plan (ILP)

SMART Learning Objective has a meaning for each of its letters.

In SMART Learning Objective the second letter M stands for measurable. The learning objective should be measurable.

In Smart Learning Objective the third letter A stands for attainable. The learning objective should be attainable in classroom settings.

In SMART Learning Objective the fourth letter R stands for Relevant. The learning objective should be relevant to the content being taught.

In SMART Learning Objective the fourth and last letter is Time-Bound. The learning objective should have a time in which they must be achieved 

ABCD of learning objective has the meaning for four of its letter. A stands for Audience, B for behaviour, C for condition and D for Degree.

There are three domains of Learning is in practice in general. It is based on Bloom's Taxonomy. The other two are Psychomotor and Affective domains.

Cone of Learning was developed by Edgar Dale and it informs us as a teacher that how a student can retain the learning with maximum retention say after a gap of some time. Learning by doing is the best way to retain the learning objective after a gap of some time.

Howard Gardner gave the concept of Multiple Intelligence. Initially, he gave eight MI found around us.

Slow learners are learners who take more time in learning and can reach any learning objective if given proper time and correct teaching-learning strategies.

Gifted learners are the learners who are able to answer questions for several classes above them. The gifted learner can be challenged and motivated during the normal classroom settings using certain specific strategies meant for them.

Checking for concentration is the strategy for involving the students in the classroom for concentration.

As an eductor we need to know that students are learning what we are teaching during the normal classroom without any formative or formal assessment. Checking for learning is simple classroom strategies to know that the students are learning while teaching learning is going on.

This lecture includes SJ's Integrated Lesson plan with coding to be used during the lesson plan. Aspects covered and integrated in the ILP are

ABCD of Learning Objective (AB)

Bloom’s Domain (BD)

Checking for Concentration (CN)

Checking for Learning (CL)

Cone of Learning (CO)

Differentiation (DI)

Strategies for Gifted Learner (GL)

Multiple Intelligence (MI)

Strategies for Slow Learner (SL)

SMART Learning Objective (SM)

In the Implementation phase, the prepared ILP is checked whether all the aspects are covered in it or not and it can be worked upon accordingly if all aspects are not covered or it the ILP is written wrong in certain ways and for certain aspects.
