I Plan For My Lesson Plan

With differentiation in mind, I came up with a daily schedule of learning and instruction time for my students. Entry 4 artifact 3 is a copy of my daily schedule and lesson plan format for instructing my students. I begin my day of learning using whole group instruction with a whole group instruction reviewing the calendar, music/movement activity, and read aloud. During these activities, I ask the students question based upon their ability and grade level. The students are really engaged during our introduction. They get to move and meditate to reflect on their day.

Research has shown daily routines and procedures provide students with consistency and when they become familiar with expectations, it creates a sense of security in the classroom. When students keep focused, there are fewer behavioral issues and allows for more meaningful instruction time. In my experience, most

“If you just stand in front of the class and lecture, you set yourself up for failure.” (DiMartino & Miles, 2004, p. 47). First, I have to have a proper planning of my class for the entire week. Then, I write in my notebook the transitions and activities that want to have each day in each one of my classes. For example, the transition between the lesson and classwork can be a video that will motivate students to complete the job, or a message of inspiration. Another day, I can make is the kind of discussion, questions and answers style. Another day, I can receive my students with music, having an exercise time, and then, having some nutritional snacks before starting the class. In the classwork time, I can allow them to select a type of music they want to listen while working on their classwork. And so on. “Having something going on in the study environment, like music, is better than nothing” (Carey, 2014, p. 51). My goal is that students can have something

There are many things that go into a successful, well-managed classroom, but one of the biggest determining factors is establishing positive procedures for daily tasks and activities. Students crave a stable and predictable environment where they know exactly what to expect and how to succeed, and teaching procedures does just that. Procedures provide structure to both students and teachers, ensuring that the classroom is a familiar and secure place that everyone can rely on. Obviously choosing the right rules and procedures for a classroom is entirely up to the instructor; but no matter the procedure, teachers must clearly define what they expect from their students from the very beginning. It is essential

When the student arrives into the classroom they should enter quietly, get their work from their cubbies, and wait patiently on the teacher to give instructions if not told before they sit down in a seat on the correct side of the room. When class starts they will start off with a warm up on the lesson that is planned for the day/week or review from the previous lesson to make sure everyone is on the right place. No one will be judged on their class work from other peers that are in the group as well. As a class they will learn to help each other when he or she is struggling or behind on a lesson. After all the class work is done they can go use the restroom if need be, but if not, they are to work on their sight words, read a book, or to finish up any work for a different class that needs to be complete. Reason for the warmups and the extra reading I want to encourage the students to improve their reading and math skills, so they can improve their testing scores, so they will not have sit in another classroom without their

Learning is a unique process that differs from individuals due to the style in which they learn. Learning style refers to visual, kinesthetic, and auditory routes, which are the three perceptual pathways or modalities of learning (Miller & Stoeckel, 2011, p.155). The visual pathway involves sight, and how an individual benefits best through visual stimulation such as reading, pictures, movies, etc. (Miller & Stoeckel, 2011, p. 155). A kinesthetic learner, which focuses on body, sensation, and motion, benefits most from hands-on activities that include field-trips, computer assisted instruction, or models (Miller & Stoeckel, 2011, p. 155).

All classrooms should have structured routines and clear procedures with set expectations. Some examples of routines are what students do upon arrival to the classroom, getting down to work, completing an assignment, group work, keeping occupied after work is finished, transitioning from one assignment or subject area to the next, and at the end of the day preparing for departures. These routines and procedures should be taught and practice with modeling for the students to have a visual of what is expected of them. The routines and procedures should be visible for students to review on a daily basis.

Most of the units I teach are available in E3 or L1, so I will differentiate between the students as to what level they work at As I frequently have a number of foreign students speaking very little English when they join, I must remember to include LA1.3, LA1.6, LA2.1 and LA2.3 & .4. At the reviews the Functional skills tutors will feed in literacy and numeracy problems and goals to be addressed during the month, these I need to include in my lesson planning eg L needs to develop spelling and punctuation skills, so when planning the next lesson, I look to see if I can incorporate something to build on these eg word searches, or reminding him to be careful with punctuation in his writing. The student in the Initial Assessment (A) needs help and support with reading and writing, so a support worker needs to be written into every session plan to help. In many of the units I teach, class participation in discussions are expected and I must express myself clearly LS1 , LS2, LS3, LL1. I must plan my lesson carrying out LR1 & LR2. Embedding numeracy in a non maths lesson can be tricky, but in session (D) researching a flat and tenancy (IT) students had to work out much they would pay out to rent a flat (rent plus deposit etc) and in (E) designed a bedsit, incorporating measurements. Above all when planning a session I must produce a lesson that considers the subject content and criteria, it must be relevant

The teacher will begin the lesson by informing the students that they will learn to perform on their instruments the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. The teacher will then sing the entire song using only the Kodaly Syllables in the key of C major. To help with expression the teacher will add slight hand movements. Motion helps to externalize internal expressiveness. (Feldman & Contzius, 2016).

The pedagogies used within the lesson plan and sequence are direct instruction, problem solving and inquiry and explicit teaching. Direct instruction is used to introduce the concept of symmetry; students’ would have been briefly introduced to symmetry in year 3 but as far as the content in the lesson plan it will be fairly new to them. The use of direct instruction to introduce new ideas ensures that the knowledge acquired is accurate; it can then lead to discussion and questioning which draws out students’ prior knowledge and the teacher can build upon what students’ already know. This approach is

Analysis of the three identified stages stated on the lesson planner shall take place within this assignment. Links will be shown between the teaching methods that were incorporated in this lesson planner which met particular learning characteristics, traits and needs of the group or an individual(s) and relevant educational and theoretical principles. The lesson planner has been placed in the appendices, as a referral resource, for this assignment.

To effectively plan for instruction it is important to know the background of the students. Before even meeting the students in person it is wise to identify certain aspects of their lives that may affect their learning. There is no school that is exactly the same. Across the United States schools differ immensely regarding to demographics. Being a teacher, there has to be research done about specific schools and school district because no two schools are exactly alike.

In my classroom, a lesson plan will always be prepared for, for each day, with a theme to be focused on and learned. Some themes can be taught for a few days and

I am going to maximize the student’s learning in my classroom by having everything organized. I would make my lesson plans ahead of time so that I am not stressed. If the teacher is less stressed, than the children would be relaxed. I personally believe that it will be an easier way, if you have all your lessons planned out ahead of time.

Firstly, I would like to talk about the lesson planning and delivering. As we have already learnt from Teaching Methodology 402, lesson plan works as guideline and help us a lot as teacher trainees. It reminds us what to
