B.Ed Lesson Plan Formats

Lesson plans are a core part of every B.Ed course in India. Most colleges ask student teachers to prepare a fixed number of lesson plans for each teaching subject during practice teaching and internship.

Parts of a typical B.Ed lesson plan

1. General information: name, class, subject, topic, date, period and duration
2. General and specific objectives (often written using Bloom’s taxonomy)
3. Teaching aids and materials
4. Previous knowledge and introduction (motivation)
5. Presentation: teacher activity, student activity and blackboard work
6. Recapitulation and evaluation questions
7. Home assignment

Common lesson plan approaches

• Herbartian approach: preparation, presentation, comparison, generalisation and application
• 5E model: engage, explore, explain, elaborate and evaluate (popular for science)
• Constructivist and ICT-based plans: used in many newer B.Ed syllabi

Formats differ between universities, so always check the format your college asks for. Our B.Ed lesson plan files are coming soon: tap “Notify me” below to hear when they launch.
