This document outlines David Didau's perfect lesson checklist. It includes questions to consider in three parts: planning the lesson, the start of the lesson, and during the lesson. Some key points checked include whether the lesson relates to prior learning, has clear and appropriate objectives, actively engages students, provides feedback, and reviews learning at the end. The checklist aims to help teachers plan and reflect on lessons to maximize student learning.
