A lesson is a focused unit of study within a larger topic. Just as program is divided into courses, courses can be divided into units or modules and these units or modules are further broken down into lessons. Most lessons are developed to be executed over a brief period of time and focus on a manageable chunk of information. The idea is that when new information is presented and practiced in manageable chunks, the learning that has taken place can be easily assessed. A lesson plan then is a tool that can be used to ensure that a lesson Lesson plans also serve to guide your personal teaching practice. That is, they can and should be revised regularly to improve the changes that learning will occur. Eventually, the notion of lesson planning will become second nature to you and so you might not need to develop detailed written plans for each and every lesson. You'll often see experienced teachers with what are called **weekly planners** in which they jot down notes on one page about their plan for the week ahead. However, at the beginning of your teaching career, formal lesson planning should be a standard activity.
 * addresses a manageable amount of learning
 * is meaningful or relevant with the context of the module
 * considers mechanisms to assess and evaluate learning

Three parts of a Good Measurable Outcome:

 * Task - what must the learner perform (one behaviour, one verb)?
 * Condition - How will it be performed? or what?
 * Standard - How well must it be performed? or by what standard, rules, etc.
