Reflection on NTeq Lesson Plan



An NTeq lesson plan has advantages and disadvantages. I could really see how a student centered learning environment would be created once adapting this lesson plan. Technology is at the heart of the lesson plan, and this is an idea that needs to be the focus of teachers.

There are some qualities I did not like about the lesson plan. I did not like all of the steps you had to go through. I wish it could have been on one screen. I did not like the fact that I had to create an account. I felt as if I couldn’t determine what I would do first, second, third, etc. while I was teaching. I feel like it would be a lesson plan that I would create and not be able to use while teaching because of its layout. We do not use that type of lesson plan at our school, but I feel as if I could use the lesson again, just not the format.

However, the NTeq lesson plan format does allow a teacher to make sure the lesson is technology and data driven. An important aspect that teachers need to include is technology and data. Our school is really focusing on data, and this lesson plan would definitely make sure that teachers were incorporating data in their lessons. The lesson plan did not take as long as I thought it would, which was a definite plus. There really is not any room in the lesson plan where you can put that you are going to lecture or discuss something. This would definitely help create a student centered learning environment. Every category that you had to create and focus on was something to make sure it was revolved around the students and their understanding.

This lesson plan could definitely be implemented with more practice. The more familiar a teacher becomes with this lesson plan format, the more student-centered their lessons will be.
