Lesson Planning, Part 2

The 5E Model

“Get students constructing knowledge and making meaning from their learning experiences.”

The order in which we decide to progress through a lesson with students matters. Sequencing lessons may have become second nature to you, so you may no longer examine the order of things happening in a class session. Instead, we place our focus on the order or progression of ideas. The 5E Model is a tool you can use to refocus on planning effective learning experiences online, remote, or in a hybrid virtual environment.
