Today, teachers are essential for this momentum shift. The identification and design of appropriate and effective instructional tasks and applying them in the classroom will affect teaching and learning. However, this goes beyond offering curriculum and teaching materials to educators. Teachers should be able to stimulate passive curriculum materials and transform them into intriguing instructional tasks if they can specify resources, processes, and outcomes. Current literature underscores the need to support teachers in engaging in operational planning activities that allow them to start lessons with mentally stimulating tasks that are proven to encourage more in-depth learning in students. Nonetheless, it is apparent that effective planning of lessons is essential, but its success rests on the application of requisite theories of teaching and learning. Planning Intellectually Challenging Tasks Eison (2010) notes that research on lesson planning by teachers began in the 1970s and peaked in the 1990s, but in the past 20 years, it has received less attention. There is a paradigm shift from a focus on teacher behavior during lesson planning to an emphasis on their mental processes (Cole & ASCD, 2008). In the 21st century, planning is increasingly being perceived as a cognitive process where a teacher creates mental images of a teaching plan to guide actions in the classroom environment. This occurrence according to Cole and ASCD (2008) has brought forth the importance of planning especially for intellectually challenging teaching tasks. Firstly, planning for a challenging task is important because it assists a teacher to design and select learning activities with students, which increases learning outcomes by catering to the varying needs of students in the classroom (Eison, 2010). An instructional activity acts as the central structural unit of planning, which ensures that teaching and learning remain organized and impactful. Secondly, preparing for an intellectually challenging teaching task requires much attention (Stronge, 2007). Usually, a majority of teacher training programs employ a linear model that comprises four main steps namely, identifying goals, choosing learning tasks, consolidating the learning tasks, and specifying various evaluation procedures (Stronge, 2007). Finally, Eison (2010) argues that planning for a challenging teaching task is essential because it allows a teacher to become creative during the delivery of the lesson. By planning, Eison (2010) notes that a teacher can use the contextualized knowledge of learners and their learning needs and preferences to increase the opportunities to learn in the classroom environment.
