How do I write a lesson plan for nursing?
I have been asked to create a lesson plan in my nursing course.
Answer
What is a lesson plan and why is it important?
A lesson plan is a document used to plan how the educator will achieve the goals or objectives of the lesson. Lesson plans are important because they provide a clear understanding of what will be taught, how it will be taught and evaluated, and how much time can be dedicated to each objective. It provides an in-depth look into the lesson to ensure the content is approached in a logical and organized manner.
What should I include in a lesson plan?
A lesson plan should contain the following:
- Purpose: The why behind the lesson
- Goal: What you hope to accomplish/overall vision
- Objectives: Provides clear ways to achieve the goal/measurable
