Instructional planning
is the process of systematically
planning, developing, evaluating,
and managing the instructional
process by using principles of
teaching
and learning.
Daily Lesson Log (DLL)
is a template teachers use to log parts
of their daily lesson. The DLL covers a
days or a weeks worth of lessons and
contains the following parts: Objectives,
Content, Learning Resources,
Procedures, Remarks and Reflection.
Detailed Lesson Plan (DLP)
is a teachers roadmap for a lesson. It
contains a detailed description of the
steps a teacher will take to teach a
particular topic. A typical DLP contains
the following parts: Objectives, Content,
Learning Resources, Procedures, Remarks
and Reflection.
Policy Statement
Daily lesson preparation is part of the
teachers core function as a facilitator of
learning inside the classroom as affirmed
through DepEds Results-based Performance
Management System (RPMS). Well-prepared
and well-planned lessons are fundamental to
ensuring the delivery of quality teaching and
learning in schools.
The Instructional Process
The instructional process is
made up of three (3) steps:
(1) planning instruction;
(2) delivery of instruction; and
(3) assessment of learning.
Instructional planning for effective teaching
has the following elements:
a. Identifying clear lesson and learning objectives
while carefully linking activities to them, which is
essential for effectiveness
b. Creating quality assignments, which is positively
associated with quality instruction and quality
student work
c. Planning lessons that have clear goals, are logically
structured, and progress through the content step-bystep
d. Planning the instructional strategies to be
deployed in the classroom and the timing of these
strategies
e. Using advance organizers, graphic organizers, and
outlines to plan for effective instructional delivery
f. Considering student attention spans and learning
styles when designing lessons
g. Systematically developing objectives, questions,
and activities that reflect higher level and lower-level
cognitive skills as appropriate for the content and
the student
