Drafting a Lesson Plan

​

• Subject-Specific Analysis:
• In pairs choose a lesson from your textbooks – it can be any subject
• What gender biases exist in content, examples, or language?
• How might these biases impact student engagement?
• Gender Lens Application:
• Think about how you might revise the lesson using a gender lens for example:
• Language: Replace gendered language with neutral language.
• Examples: Ensure diverse gender representation in pictures or examples.
• Design tasks or ask questions that challenge stereotypes.
• Draft a basic lesson plan noting any key considerations you consider at each stage of the lesson.

​

• How you will deliver the lesson, keeping in mind the class composition, the number of boys and girls, and their particular needs;
• The environment, including seating arrangements;
• the activities and the learning materials needed;
• Interactions with and between the learners, including the language used; and
• assessment of the students.
