Differentiated Instruction Scenarios

Once questions are answered and all students feel comfortable moving forward then give introduction of the lesson activity.

Planning and preparation of teaching is supremely important, the teacher and teaching assistant need to work together to achieve the best learning result. Lesson plans and structures will be implemented and will be catered for each learner; they will include teaching methods and techniques, assessments and targets. Teachers have policies, procedures and regulations to adhere to and within organisations will have to take into consideration budgets and resources.

The term autism currently holds a meaning that is significantly different than when it was first adopted into our vocabulary in the 1960’s. The evolution of scientific discoveries within the field of autism research is remarkable and consistently improving. With the prevalence of autism continuing to reach sky rocketing numbers, the inclusion of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in the school system is extremely important. Every child has the right to obtain an education and finding new methods that provide this for children with ASD is vital. Creating programs and techniques that can be personalized to a child is the key to them receiving the most out of their education. Discrete trial teaching, pivotal response treatment and picture

Paige Fricke Topic Area: Dyslexia Specific Purpose: My audience will be able to explain the cause and effects of dyslexia. Thesis Statement: Dyslexia is a condition that affects people world wide, but through the proper treatment and help it can have less of a negative affect on a person Introduction I. Attention Getter: I am going to assume at least half of you have encountered a family member, friend, classmate, etc. that is dyslexic. Dyslexia is a general term for disorders that involve difficulty in learning to read or interpret words, letters, and other symbols, but that do not necessarily affect general intelligence.

Provide a graphic (table or chart) or narrative summary of student learning for your whole class. Be sure to summarize student learning for all evaluation criteria described above.

Prepare for lesson/ program ensuring that you have relevant materials to carry out different teaching styles to meet the needs of the learner,

The mini lesson will be presented by the teacher orally and supported by a power point presentation that hits on the major points of the topic.

Introduction (In this section, you have to explain what you will do/say to begin your lesson. How will you introduce your lesson to your students and how will you activate their prior knowledge and links to their backgrounds? How will you capture their interests and motivate them?)

Ostmeyer and Scarpa conducted participatory research (direct input) using qualitative and quantitative data on ways to provide social skills interventions to children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (HFASD) (Ostmeyer & Scarpa, 2012). Children with HFASD can often times be difficult to reason with concerning classwork and home life. In dealing with children with Autism, I hope to get ideas how to further my student’s academic success through the previously mentioned research.

Typically, the first thing he or she would do it ask for the lesson plan for that day and review it as much as they could before the class started.

Think about this objective. What strategies are you going to use? You will be doing a lot of research. You may want to take notes on this lesson or come up with a plan about your research. Open your digital notebook and describe any strategies and skills you will use to succeed in this lesson.

In this lesson there are multiple process skills, knowledge, and skills to be included and emphasized. When doing this lesson, I would be addressing the process skills of communicating, measuring, comparing, contrasting, organizing, and analyzing. Student would partake in communicating during the class discussion about frog calls, when the groups discuss and create their frog calls, and when sharing with the class the frog calls they made. Measuring would take place during the extension game whenever the biologist times and records the time it took the female frog to find a mate. Comparing and contrasting would be done in the “Guess who makes that sound?” game. The students will be comparing and contrasting the frog sounds to their prior knowledge and to each of the frog sounds. They do this to try and figure out what animals is making that sound. Organizing will be addressed through the KLEWS chart. The students will organize their ideas, wonderings, evidence, and the like into the KLEWS chart. Also, the students will organize their data gathered in the extension game. Lastly, students analyze the observations they made during the entire lesson and that information was written in the Learning, Evidence, and Scientific Principle columns of the KLEWS chart. All of these process skills I will emphasize and guide the students through. Skills addressed in this lesson were communicating skills and engineering skills. Students need to know how to communicate in order to

My students are my children. I treat my students exactly how I want my personal children to be treated. When the students enter the classroom, they are expected to read the board for their do now activity. Each class is started by dissecting a daily word problem. The word problems are spiral review. Some days, I whole group instruct, but most days involve different activities with small group instructions and peer tutoring. I use exit tickets and weekly checks to monitor my students progress. I small group or work one-on-one with struggling students during class time, club time, before or after school. I turn in weekly lesson plans that are developed with my students’ needs in mind, so they can meet the state standard. Each school year, I develop a pacing guide to guide the instruction of the standards in class.

By the end of the lesson the students will be able to demonstrate comprehension of the text by answering questions about key details in the text.
