Chapter 11: Lesson Design
Conscious Classroom Management
Presentation by Christina Bentheim
Outcomes
• Participants will use a five-step model to organize, execute, and reflect on lessons.
• Participants will determine specific strategies to help lessons be more effective.
Focal Point
• When a lesson works well, students not only learn—they behave.
classroom management + well-designed lesson =
higher achieving students
Talk About It …
• How do you begin to plan your lessons? What is your first step?
• How do you know students have learned what you taught?
• How do you handle absences and late work?• What do your students do when finished with
work?• What strategies have worked best for you to
engage your students?5 minutes

Behavior Implications
• If students are misbehaving:– consider re-arranging the order of delivery.– compare what actually happened with your
original plan.
Assessment
• Guides teaching• Basis for instruction
– BAM– Examples: Unit Plan and Aligned Exam
• Aids effective teaching
Effective Teaching
Teacher:Assesses specific
objectives
Student:Learns
Teacher: Plans and teaches
Teacher:Responds to
assessment with tailored instruction

What will I teach? What will my students learn?
Roadmap Approach
• You are here now. • When we’re done, we’ll be here. • Focus is on the journey AND destination.
– Example: Unit Plan
Start Finish
Starting the Lesson
• Anticipate behavior challenges – Visualization
• Sponge / Warm-up– Ask question relating to previous lesson OR that day’s
content.– Post agenda.– Example: Prime Time
• Make connection to students’ lives.– Sell the content—frames / packaging– Example: Importance of Pronouns
Check for Understanding
• Tell AND Model• Show in writing step-by-step• Student(s) choral read• Student(s) repeat procedures
– To teacher– To buddy
Where have you BEEn?
• Log Book– One student manages book per class.– Students responsible for following posted procedures.
• Absent Box• Assignment Board• Buddy System
– Three students exchange email and phone numbers with each other.
– Sign contract with each other.– Copy goes to the teacher.
To Accept or Not to Accept?
• Rigid late policy – LW not accepted … EVER– Can discourage students from ongoing
participation– More difficult to “pass” when decision is
made to do so
• Flexible late policy– Legitimate reasons for being late– Points deduction
