Effective Lesson Planning and Teaching Strategies

Does the lesson provide for adequate assistance for students who do not learn from the initial procedure?

If only everyone "got it" right the first time! The reality is that almost no lesson is 100% reliable. That means some students will fall behind. They "won't get it," and you need to think about what to do about that. The problem is compounded because you are confronted with the real problem of what to do with the students who did "get it" while you are attending to those who didn't. Usual pedagogical thinking suggests that the "got it" students can be given some ancillary work, or some enrichment materials while you work with the students who need your help

Does the lesson provide adequate practice to permit consolidation and integration of skills?

Vince Lombardi, the legendary former coach of the Green Bay Packers, is reputed to have said, "Practice does not make perfect. perfect practice makes perfect." Of course he was talking about skills related to playing football. The operative word here is skills. There is no substitute for developing and honing skills other than practice. That always means, in a practical sense, that there is a skilled observer of the practice who can provide feedback to the learner. It is true in every field where skills are taught n some formal way. The quality of the practice, and just as important, the quality of the feedback to the learner are indispensable.
