Learning and Teaching for Apprenticeships

Lesson Plans

For each lesson, a full lesson plan should be produced which provides structure, and ensures that all the required aspects of learning, teaching and assessment are covered in your delivery. Your lesson plan should be retained by you as part of your course learning and teaching resources, and must be readily available if required as part of any monitoring inspections.

Your lesson plan should include everything that you need to do as part of the preparation for and delivery of your lesson. This includes:

• Completion of the attendance register
• Lesson learning outcomes
