The procedure part of Lesson EDT 674: in EDT 674, Pregnancy-How It Happens: Effects on Him, Her, and the Relationship.   The lesson plan was developed for a high school child development class that I created in EDT 674, Pregnancy-How It Happens: Effects on Him, Her and the Relationship. The lesson was developed to incorporate both technology and a variety of activities for students to gain knowledge on the consequences of becoming sexually active as related to pregnancy. In the procedure part of this lesson the teacher has created a learning environment that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement in learning and self-motivation. For example, I teacher included activities such as KWL, a pair and share, large group interaction and brain-storming. These activities were also planned so that students used technology and worked individually and in small and large groups. I currently haven’t taught this lesson and hope to incorporate this into my class this fall.

 * Rationale: **

This is so important that teachers keep students motivated to learn. As a teacher expressing to my students the importance of lifetime learning is a skill that they will need for the rest of their lives. This evidence is important to my development of a teacher because it shows that I can provide a variety of opportunities for students to practice these skills. Being able to develop a lesson using details and variety of teaching activities including technology to keep students engaged is necessary for students to succeed in the 21st Century. As technology continues to seep into our everyday lives both at home and in our career/work it is crucial that as educators that we provide activities that incorporate how to use this technology to inquire information while practicing the 21st Century skills. As a teacher it is necessary that we provide these opportunities in our classes and those skills that will make our students competent and competitive in a global world.

 * The teacher understands the principles of effective classroom management and can use a range of strategies to promote routines and positive relationships, cooperation, and purposeful learning in the classroom. **

When teachers are planning lessons and activities they need to apply their knowledge of effective classroom management skills. As they develop the procedures for the lesson the teacher needs to use a wide range of activities in which students take responsibility in which they participate by themselves, in small groups, and large groups. Varying activities and providing clear expectations of the activities will promote routines, allow for the development of positive relationships, and encourage cooperation and purposeful learning in the classroom.

 * The teacher organizes, allocates, and manages the resources of time, space, activities, and attention to provide active and equitable engagement of students in productive tasks. **

When teachers plan their lessons it is very important that they also include a very detailed outline of how the lesson should be executed. In the procedure part of the lesson it is vital that the teacher provides enough information so that they as well as others who use this lesson understand what you are doing. For example, teachers who organize their lessons by activities, includes how much time it allotted for each activity, explanation of how to do the activity, where it needs to be done, the materials need to complete the activity and any other details that are necessary to its success. Teacher’s who put this much time and effort into their lesson should have no problem of having students who are active, cooperative and engaged in the activities and the concepts being taught.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The teacher recognizes the value of intrinsic motivation to students’ life-long growth and learning. **

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">One of the questions that I remember when interviewing for a job over 20 years ago was about how success breeds success. As a teacher it is important to make sure when developing lessons and activities that they make sure that students succeed. When a student is successful then they are usually motivated to try and learn new things throughout their future.
