Student Lesson Plan for Jordan Jordan is an eleven-year-old boy who is in fifth grade. Jordan is diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder. Jordan has an academic goal as well as a behavioral goal. He sees the school physiatrist three times a week, goes to reading three times a week, and receives 2 ½ hours extra of co-teaching daily. Jordan is assigned a one-to-one. Jordan has trouble focusing and completing tasks. His one-to-one is there to help keep him on track. Jordan finds it challenging to follow the teacher's and his one-to-one instructions and guidelines. He is not motivated to concentrate for extended periods. Jordan shuts down when presented with a difficult task. His main struggles are in writing and reading. When he understands a concept, he does want to learn and do well but once it gets tough, he is unable to handle not knowing a concept. Jordan has a comprehension goal, a decoding goal, and a computation math goal. Jordan loves to take moving breaks and earn points to receive rewards for working hard and good behavior. SLP Questions: How will the developmental insights gained from the observation help you to promote learning opportunities for this student? Upon learning more about development from the observation, I have concluded that Jordan struggles to concentrate and learn when the teacher is teaching on the smartboard. Jordan needs more hands-on activities as well to learn different subjects. I have noticed that Jordan does his best and is most interested when it comes to doing experiments for science. If we can somehow incorporate more visual learning into his other subjects, I feel it will benefit him tremendously. He also struggles socially with his peers. Most times he just wants to stay at the back table from what I observed it's because he has a fear of looking inferior to his peers. I do notice he works well in small groups but only with certain other students. Letting him work in small groups of his choosing and with peers he feels comfortable with will be an invaluable opportunity to help Jordan improve his social skills. How does this student appear to learn best? How can this inform your teaching approach with this student? Jordan needs constant redirection and support when it comes to learning. He gets easily off-task and is disruptive to the other students, whether it’s walking around the room or humming a song.

It is very hard for Jordan's one-to-one and teachers to redirect him. I feel the student appears to learn best when he is comfortable with the topic being taught and when he is shown positive reinforcement. The teacher should always encourage him to do his best and acknowledge him when he does a good job. Jordan does his best work when he has his one-to-one giving him constant attention. The teacher must assist him in learning new skills, finishing assignments, and resolving difficult problems. Additionally, the one-to-one may help by setting an example of proper behavior and offering further guidance on each course and assignment. What practices might be useful in constructing meaning for this student? One practice that I learned from my observations that has meaning for the student is the incentive of rewards. Jordan will receive points and he can purchase rewards with those points. Jordan will do work when prompted with a reward. He will also demonstrate appropriate behavior the more points he receives such as listening to his one-to-one, and his other teachers. For each subject, he will receive several points and at the end of the day they will be tallied up and he can either use them or save them to purchase a bigger reward. Students who have been diagnosed with ODD thrive with this incentive. I feel after my observation this reward system will allow him to work at his best. How might the students' needs be supported? The student needs constant support throughout the day. The student's needs can be supported by breaking down tasks into smaller, manageable steps. Also, by providing clear instructions and repeating information when necessary. This way he doesn’t feel so overwhelmed and shuts down. I also noticed a good way to support this student is by using technology when it comes to writing. Jordan struggles with writing and gets embarrassed when he doesn't know how to spell a word. By allowing him to use his laptop to write his essays I have seen he is more likely to start and finish the assignment. The final way I can support Jordan is by allowing him to work at the back table with another student. I have noticed in my observations that Jordan works well with a couple of students in the classroom. He is more motivated and on task when allowed to make these certain modifications. How can the student's abilities be utilized?

Jordan has a lot of energy and likes to learn when work is put in simpler terms. The teachers can utilize this by breaking down the objectives for Jordan in each subject as well as giving Jordan tasks to do in the classroom. Jorda n enjoys mathematics and science and has shown that these are his two strong subject areas. The teachers can allow Jordan to be more involved in setting up the science lessons and helping hand out papers. Students with ODD thrive on being provided with choices. Jordan's sense of autonomy can be increased, and power struggles can be decreased by providing him with alternatives when it is appropriate. Thus, encouraging him to work, not get upset, and learn within the classroom Teaching Strategies that would support Jordan's needs: 1. Use a Strengths-Based Approach: Identify and build on the student's strengths. Encourage activities or subjects where the student excels to boost confidence and engagement. This is a great approach for Jordan because he feels a sense of accomplishment when he can understand a lesson. This will keep the student focused and excited to learn. It will remove all the anxiety the student faces and allow him not to shut down. This will help Jordan's Erik Erikson’s theory of the psychological stage of development with his Inferiority vs Industry. “If children are encouraged by parents and teachers to develop skills, they gain a sense of industry feeling of competence and belief in their skills” (McLeod, 2018). They begin to grasp that they can use their abilities to finish tasks and start learning how to collaborate and interact with others. They become more assured of their capacity to succeed as a result. As a result of building on Jordan's strengths, we can help lead him to a sense of industry. 2. Teach Coping Skills: Provide instruction and practice in coping skills such as problem-solving, conflict resolution, and emotion regulation. Help the student develop effective strategies for managing frustration, anger, or stress. This is a great teaching strategy to help Jordan handle his emotions. When frustrated Jordan will throw his paper on the floor or put his head down. If we can teach him coping skills
