Objectives for this presentation & for CEE Summer Series
Following this workshop, participants should be able to:
1. explain the HLC standard for clock hours and how we are
working to meet the standard.
2. utilize research on content retention and attention span
to improve lessons.
3. utilize various strategies for lesson planning and
effective content delivery including chunking, wait time,
how the brain processes information, and differentiated
instruction.
4. create effective lesson plans.
Higher Learning CommissionStandard for Clock Hours
For every credit hour:
1 hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction
and
a minimum of 2 hours of out-of-class student work
each week
5 Credit Hours X 10 Weeks = 50 hours of classroom instruction
3 Credit Hours X 10 Weeks = 30 hours of classroom instruction

3 20 90 1800 30 +11.25 hours 60%
This information shows the need to not only rearrange our lesson plans
to fit a 90-minute class meeting ---
but it also shows the need for us to add more depth and breadth to our lesson plans.
Lesson Planning for the 90-Minute Class
Retention Research(Percentages reflect average learning retention
(National Training Laboratories, Bethel, Maine)
When students are in these various
learning situations, their content
retention is impacted.
Keep in mind that most untrained
people listen at a 25% efficiency rate.
This means that students are only
listening to about 25% of what you are
saying if you are simply lecturing (talking)
at them.
If they retain only 5% of that 25% --- they
are missing so much!
Attention Span Research• Settling-In Period
• 1-3 minutes observed versus 30 seconds self-reported
• Lecture• 10-18 minutes observed versus 4-5 and 7-10 minutes self-reported
• Later in the Lecture• 3-4 minutes observed versus 2 minutes self-reported
Relationship between attention and active learning –most commonly used were demonstrations and questions.(Both DURING and AFTER these strategies.)

Chunking Strategies
• New Material
• Transition to reinforcement activity
• Transition to formative assessment or
“knowledge check”
• New Material – but connect to previous
material as needed
• Wash and Repeat
Transition periods RESET the attention span!
Wait Time
Most teachers wait only
9/10 of a second
Before answering thequestion or interruptingstudent thought!
Increase to 5 seconds,
and you’ll see benefits!
Wait TimeWhen wait time is increased to just 5 seconds:
• The length of student responses increases 400 to 800 percent.
• The number of unsolicited but appropriate responses increases.
• Failure to respond decreases.
• Student confidence increases.
• Students ask more questions.
• Student achievement increases significantly.Information from Teacher Vision - https://www.teachervision.com/teaching-methods/new-teacher/48446.html
What’s going on in the head of the student???
They have to 1) hear the question,
2) process what the question is asking,
3) consider answers and choose one they feel is correct,
4) have time to decide to raise their hand!
We need to give them quiet time to process.
Time to PercolateEven when you transition to a new
topic – the brain is still processing!
Work time in to allow that to happen.
You can work in a variety of strategies to allow this time:
• Ask questions
• Partner pair-share
• Reinforcement activities
• Self-checks or self-reflection
• Move from a cognitive task to a manual/tactile task.
Have you every had an aha-moment when you
suddenly thought of an answer to an earlier
question?
Your brain was PERCOLATING!
Variety is the spice of teaching!

Differentiated
Instruction
~ Student
ChoiceThe old notion was that we each had one dominant learning style. More recent
research explained that we all benefit from a variety of learning styles.
Differentiated instruction is when you teach concepts using a variety of
modalities. This allows students to choose how they learn concepts best or most
comfortably.
Lesson Plan Samples• Gagne
• Hunter
• Direct Instruction
• Problem-Based Learning
• Active LearningLesson Plan is a generic term or label --- There are people
(Gagne and Hunter) who have made some lesson
planning methods more commonly used. But there are
also lesson plans specific to the type of teaching
strategies you hope to employ.
Let’s look at samples!

What is your game plan for the lesson plan?
Enjoying success requires the ability to adapt.
Only by being open to change will you have
a true opportunity to get the most from your
talent.
