I. Describe the Class

It is a kindergarten classroom that consists of 22 students. I have 1 student with behavior

issues and 6 students who are second language learners. The classroom is laid out with the

students facing the board so there are 2 large tables on the left side of the room and 2 on the right

side of the room, parallel to each other and 2 desks are horizontal from the others. There are 4

students seated on all sides of the parallel desks and 6 students seated on the desk horizontal

from those desks. Four students are seated facing the board and two are seated on opposite

directions. This way all students can face forward without having their backs to the board.

II. Subject/skills

EDU 201 Intro to Elementary Education: Kohlberg’s model of moral development

III. Objective(s)

Students will evaluate Kohlberg’s model of moral development which is the understanding

from right and wrong from 3 levels of development with a minimum of 80 percent mastery.

IV. Procedures: For a Direct Instruction lesson

1. State the objective and orient student to the lesson:

Lawrence Kohlberg (1927-1987) beloved that the reason process that people used to

decide what is right from wrong evolves through 3 levels of development.

Vocabulary words:

Pre-conventional level of moral reasoning, Conventional level of moral reasoning,

post-conventional, autonomous or principal level of moral reasoning,

character education

2. Students now understand the definition behind Kohlberg’s moral development. Students

will need to understand each stage for Kohlberg’s moral reasoning in order to be

successful in this lesson plan.

3. Definitions: Preconventional level of moral reasoning: child is responisive to cultural

rules and label of good and bad, right or wrong, but interprets these terms of

consequences of action (punishment, reward, exchanges of favors.)

Conventional level of moral development of moral reasoning: Maintaining the

expectations of the individuals family, group, or nation is perceived as valuable,

regardless of consequences.

Postconventional, autonomous or principled level of moral reasoning:

Effort to define moral principles that have validity and application apart from the

authority of groups.

Character education: a movement that “promotes the teaching of core values that can be

taught directly through courses curricula, especially in literature, social studies, and social

science classes.”

The purpose of this lesson plan is for students to understand Kohlberg’s model of moral

development that contains 3 levels and within each level they contain 2 stages.

4. Modeling:

Kohlberg’s chart of moral reasoning / video example of how moral reasoning is

used in an outside scenario. Kohlberg explains how only 50% of adolescent and adults

can reach stage 5 & 6 but only 10% reach those stages.

5. Conducting
 4

Students will help reading the PowerPoint to engage all students on paying

attention. I will choose students at random to answer a few questions. I will make quick

check up and ask if everyone has understood the topic to make sure everyone is on the

same page and following along.

6. Independent student practice:

There will be a partner discussion. I will ask a question and students must find the

answer from there book and give me 3 examples that they have found and discussed

about with there partner. This way I will also receive feedback if the student is following

along and is understand the subject

V. Materials

Intro to Elementary Education textbook, PowerPoint, guided notes, paper, pencil,

ABCD card

VI. Grouping structure

Large group for a whole class discussion of lesson plan. Individual assessment

and a pair share partner question

VII. Modifications

For students will special disabilities or different learning abilities and

disabilities, oral language disabilities, or gifted learners would make a small

group with them. These groups will consist of 3 students each group. Smaller

groups give each student more time for help. I would break down the learning

with pictures, videos, or hand movements and gestures so everyone can get a clear

understanding in there own understanding way. For students with behavior issues

I would like to have some after school time with because they’re a distracting
 5

student who can affect the learning for other students. After school time is the best

time to both educate and punish behavior issue students.

VIII. Assessment

There will be two assessments in between the lesson plan and a pair share

discussion in which I will also use to evaluate each student’s knowledge over the

subject. First assessment: what are the first two stages of preconventional level or

moral reasoning?

What are the first 2 stages of preconventional level of moral reasoning?

A. Stage 1: Interpersonal concordance

Stage 2: The “law and order” orientation

B. Stage 1: Punishment and obedience orientation

Stage 2: The instrumental-relativist orientation

C. Stage 1: The social-contract, legalistic orientation

Stage 2: The universal-ethical-principle

Answer is B.

Second assessment TRUE or FALSE

According to Kohlberg 10% of adolescent and adults display principled moral

reasoning?

(stage 5 & stage 6)

Answer true.

For each other mg these assessments the class will use there ABCD cards in

which they will have to raise up high for me to the see the answer. My goal is to
 6

get at least 80% mastery from the students to know they have met the objectives

goal.

Homework: students will have to write out their scenario in which Kohlberg’s

model of moral development is used. This tenet will share with the class and we

will discuss each stage as a review.

IX. Closure

At this point students have evaluated Kohlberg’s model or moral

development. We have gone over a few vocabulary terms such as Preconventional

level of moral reasoning, Conventional level of moral reasoning,

Postconventional, autonomous, or principle level of moral reasoning, Character

Education. We learned their definitions and how examples of each in order to

understand how they are used. For Homework students will write their own

scenario of Kohlberg’s model of moral development and we will discuss in class

and review vocabulary terms. The next chapter we will be going over is Maslow’s

model of hierarchy of needs 9.4.
