III. Format for Hunter’s Approach to Lesson Planning


A number of school districts across the country have adopted a seven-step lesson design
that is part of the “Madeline Hunter Teacher Effectiveness Training Program.” This design,
which is intended to be applicable in all subject areas, tries to systematize lesson planning.
In theory, it makes it easier for teachers to plan and for students to follow the development
of a lesson and ensures that teachers have clear learning objectives for their students that
are achievable by the end of the instruction period. Each section of the lesson plan may in-
clude questions that the teacher uses to measure student understanding up until that point.


III.a. Ingredients for Hunter’s Approach to Lesson Planning
Anticipatory set: a brief opening activity or a statement that focuses student attention on
what they will be learning.
Objectives (standards): a detailed list of what students will know or be able to do at the
end of the instruction period. It includes information that a teacher provides to students
about what they will be able to do at the end of the lesson and how the lesson is relevant
to their learning.
Instructional input: information that a teacher provides students so they can perform a
skill or complete a process—questions that a teacher asks to insure that students under-
stand procedures.
Modeling the information: The teacher leads the class in an activity so students under-
stand what they are supposed to do.
