What is the template for a lesson plan for teachers at secondary schools like?

According to Official Dispatch 5512/BGDDT-GDTrH in 2020, guidance on the teacher’s educational plan and teaching plan (lesson plan) is as follows:

- Based on the teaching plans of the specialized groups, teachers assigned to teach subjects in various grade levels will develop their educational plan for the academic year (as per the Teacher's Education Plan Framework in Appendix 3 Download); based on that, they prepare the lesson plans (as per the Lesson Plan Framework in Appendix 4 Download) to organize teaching.

- Students are not required to have mobile phones for learning purposes. The permission for students to use mobile phones in class to support learning is decided by the teacher directly teaching the subject; teachers will specifically guide this in the activities designed in the lesson plan to ensure that mobile phone usage does not require all students to have a phone and is appropriate to the learning content.

- Teachers must clearly inform students that mobile phones are to be used solely as a learning aid. Teachers should also specify the actions students are prohibited from performing with phones in class, during lessons.

- Regular assessment will be performed during the organization of learning activities as designed in the lesson plan through various forms: Q&A, writing, practice, experiments, presentations, and learning products.

- For each form of assessment, students must be informed in advance about the evaluation criteria and provided guidance for self-study; emphasis should be placed on evaluation through feedback on the process and the performance of students based on the requirements of questions, exercises, practical assignments, experiments, presentations, and learning products as specified in the lesson plan.
