100 teachers from the public secondary schools were considered the sample of the study. A fifteen items questionnaire was developed and data was collected from the teachers who were considered the sample of the study. The study found that Majority of the teachers held that they did not plan their lesson regularly and daily, Majority of the teachers perceived that they did not get proper training of lesson planning during in-service training, They perceived that lesson could be presented in a sequence with the help of lesson planning.

Introduction

The effective teaching always demands proper planning. The planning phase of the teaching is termed as lesson planning. Without planning and setting out objectives we can not achieve the desired outcomes. In the literature of education and teaching the planning for teaching is very much emphasized being the foremost component of the teaching process. Unfortunately in our educational institutions the practices of lesson planning are few and far. So it is very important to evaluate these practices. Furthermore, in the institutions where these practices exist are very traditional and just for the formality. A research study in this regard was a dire need of the time to properly evaluate these practices and suggest some measures for improvements. The present study was conducted to evaluate the present practices of lesson planning in public secondary schools of district Attock.
