NEPF LESSON PLAN PREP
Instructional Standards
Standard 1: Learning Purpose and Connections
 What strategies will help students make connections to previous learning?
 How will students know the purpose and relevance of the lesson?
 How will students build their current knowledge?
Standard 2: Learning Tasks and Cognitive Demands
 What Depth of Knowledge levels will students experience in the learning tasks?
 How will students be supported to experience deeper learning?
 How will students be challenged to advance their thinking and skills?
Standard 3: Engagement
 How will students develop their skills in argumentation, explanation, and critique, using
logic/evidence to support or refute a claim or position?
 How will students use multiple representations of concepts in their thinking? (i.e., graphic
organizers, visuals, drawings, concept maps, videos, simulations, data formats)
 What opportunities will students have to use their personal experiences and knowledge to
connect to the new concepts and skills?
 How will students collaborate with each other?
Standard 4: Student Understanding of and Responsibility for Learning
 How will students know the learning goals, the performance criteria and purpose of the
lesson?
 How will students share their progress?
 How will students be supported in revising their learning strategies based on their progress?
Notes/Actions
I will create a voki; with voki I will create an anime character that will explain
everything that will happen that day in my classroom. The voki will be about 3
minutes long and will summarize the lesson and why it’s important and how
we can integrate it into life lessons or life skills. With that, the students will
kind of get a picture of what is going to happened and relate to their previous
Algebra knowledge.
To challenge their knowledge, I will create a small 10-15 minute Quizlet to see
how much information they have actually observed and how they can
accurately and quick they can apply those skills and use them. After every
question I will go over the answer, the questions on Quizlet will not be too
challenging, in fact they will be quite easy, it’s just to see how far and fast my
students got the hang of it.
To go over the lesson and to make my students interact, I will create a
POWTOON. A powtoon is similar to a voki but it is by far more interesting.
Since by this time I will have learned about Powtoon, the video will go over
the lesson, over the algebra equations and answers. Throughout the video I
will pause and make my students turn to their partners and talk for 2 minutes
about the information we discussed and if there are any questions they might
have that the partner might be able to answer. After the 2 minutes if there is
still any confusion (for the next 3 minutes) we will discuss the questions. This
is how my students will create and develop their algebraic skills, while
interaction with each other and collaborating.
Students will share their progress through answer garden where I will ask a
question like “how can you add this to a real life event?” or “describe what
you learned in one word.”

Standard 5: Assessment Integrated Into Instruction
 How were student pre-assessments or work samples used to plan this lesson?
 What evidence of student learning will be generated during the lesson? (i.e., writing one-on-
one conferencing, discussion with peers, instructional tasks)
 How will students receive formative feedback?
 How are instructional adjustments based on students’ results from their formative
assessments?
