Teaching Associates' Assignments and Lesson Plans

Each student chooses the content of this section - each Associate's assignments section will be individual, with unique topics and elements. Associates are asked to provide a critique of their colleagues' videotaped lessons.

FIT Videotaped Lesson Assignment

You should come to seminar on the videotaping day prepared to address the rest of us as though we were an actual class @ GTCC. I will ask you to turn your lesson plan in after you have delivered your lesson.

Your lesson will need to have the following characteristics:

• Be roughly 10 minutes in length;
• Be focused on a skill or concept from your discipline;
• Begin with a (fictitious) review of what we did last time in class;
• Be performance-based;
• Be connected to and/or make reference to employability skills
• Involve the class in some activity;
• Include your questions for the class;
• Draw on principles of cooperative learning
• Conclude with a summary of significant points from the class and
• A preview of the next class.

Competencies Addressed

#3, Apply performance-based learning principles to lessons
#5, Integrate GTCC employability skills into lessons
#6, Plan, design, & implement instructional strategies appropriate to adult learner populations and in alignment with course competencies/objectives

Follow-up Lesson

Preparation: read Xeroxed excerpt from Lindemann and bring a copy of the GTCC Observation Checklist to class.

Activity: In class, pair up with a partner. Each pair will work together to write definitions of 10 terms from the handout, "The language of Observation." We will discuss your definitions when you have finished.

Evaluation: You will be able to use these terms accurately in our Videotape Review activity.
