LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Are also called instructional objectives or performance objectives.They are the statements
that describe what students will be able to do once they complete a unit of instruction.
Example: Given a topic. Students will be able to use the College's online library databases to find at
least one book and at least one scholarly article
PERFORMANCE
-Learning objectives are student-centered. They describe the desired student performance.
Example 2:
Students will be able to list the four characteristics of effective leadership and explain how to
develop leadership skills.
CONDITIONS
They can be anything that will be provided to students or things that students are not allowed
to use when students performed the desired skills.
Example:
Without aid of instruction, identify strategies to document and conserve historic and cultural
resources.
CRITERIA
Criteria in learning objectives tell students how well they have to perform in order to achieve
the learning objectives
Example:
Students will be able to describe the proper maintenance of common electrical test equipment in
75-100
words.
Structuring engaging activities and exercises in lesson planning is a crucial aspect of effective

TRADITIONAL INSTRUCTION
DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION
1 .Content
What concepts and information do students learn to reach goals
2. Process
How students take in and make sense of the
content.
3. Product
How students show what they know,
understand, and can do.
4. Environment
The climate or tone of the classroom.
1. **Incorporate Images and Graphics:** Include relevant images, diagrams, and infographics
to complement your content. Visuals can help clarify complex ideas and make information
more digestible.
2. **Utilize Videos:** Create short, informative videos or animations to convey information or
tell a story. Videos can be particularly engaging and can capture the viewer's attention
effectively.
3. **Interactive Content:** Design interactive elements such as quizzes, polls, or clickable
infographics to involve your audience actively. Interactive content encourages participation
and can be memorable.
4. **Slide Presentations:** Use slide decks for presentations and webinars. Tools like
PowerPoint or Google Slides allow you to combine text, visuals, and even embedded videos
for engaging presentations.
5. **Infographics:** Craft visually appealing infographics to present data and statistics more
engagingly and understandably. Tools like Canva or Adobe Illustrator can be helpful for this.
6. **Podcasts:** Consider audio content, like podcasts, if your audience prefers to consume
information on the go. Incorporate engaging interviews, sound effects, or music to enhance
the listening experience.

So in adapting lesson plan for diverse learners we need to follow the 7 steps.
Step 2. Identify and Evaluate the Demands that Students Are Not Meeting
The purpose of this step is to define the problem to be addressed by the adaptation. Observe
students' performance when they use typical instructional materials.
Adaptations usually are short-term solutions to allow classroom learning and participation until the
needed skills and strategies can be taught. Once the adaptation is in place, the teacher should begin
to plan with other teachers how to teach the needed skills and strategies.
Things that we need to consider in adapting lesson plan for Diverse learners
Identifying Learning Styles: Start by understanding the different learning styles present in
your classroom.
Multimodal Teaching: Incorporate multiple teaching methods within a single lesson.
Flexible Grouping: Vary groupings in your classroom. Some students thrive in collaborative
settings, while others prefer to work independently.
Customized Resources: Offer a range of resources to support different learning styles.
Assessment Diversification: Assess students in ways that align with their learning styles.
Regular Feedback: Encourage students to reflect on their learning style preferences and
provide feedback on which methods work best for them.
Continuous Adaptation: Be open to adjusting your lesson plans based on student feedback
and performance. Flexibility is key in ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to succeed.
Inclusive Environment: Foster an inclusive classroom culture where students respect and
appreciate each other's diverse learning styles.
Professional Development: Teachers should continually seek professional development
opportunities to enhance their understanding of diverse learning styles and effective teaching
strategies.
