EVALUATING THE LESSON PLAN

Evaluation is an important factor in getting feedback to improve lessons for the teacher. It tells how much the students have understood the concepts taught or how much they understand the instructional activities to achieve the expected outcomes of the lesson.

To rate a successful lesson, students would be able to carry out the activities as planned in the learning outcomes or objectives of the lesson.
