Excellence in Lesson Planning: The Purpose and Use of a Micro-uniting Template

Abstract

For college professors, student engagement is the pinnacle of the teaching experience. The competition with external influences such as social media and internal issues such as interest in the subject being studied can cause students to disengage from classroom sessions and reduce the ability to learn the material. The use of Micro-Uniting as a classroom preparation tool is a key to improve student engagement, to maintain student focus, and to maintain both academic rigor and flexibility. An example of a Micro-United lesson plan and suggestions for use is included.
