The Importance Of Instructional Plan

The Education Planner learning style quiz identified myself as a auditory learner in which I do agree. I constantly find myself speaking or reading out loud in my head the words that I type and or write down. I prefer to watch informational clips or videos instead of reading manuals or books that describe the information.

What is if fair? This is a question that constantly plagues my life as a parent and educator. Children often have a difficult time understanding that equity and equality are not the same; however, this concept is essential to effectively parent or educate children. The time and attention given to one child is different from another child dependent on individual need and the child’s level of independence with the task at hand. Educators first need to know their students’ background, past experiences, and level of understanding. From this knowledge, teachers need to create an individual learning plan that meets the needs of the learner through differentiated instruction. Finally, it is essential to include parents’ input in this learning process.

This assignment is another opportunity to apply the principles of universal design for learning (UDL) in the design of instruction and assessment. In this assignment, a lesson plan is developed, incorporating UDL and effectively leveraging educational technologies in the classroom.

I have appreciated much of the process in which I have journeyed over the last few years. Many of my classes have not only taught me things, but have given me insight into myself, my children, friends and family. I have learned to apply some of the lessons learned with how I would react to issues, interpret scenarios and motivate myself.

For the last three years, I have had the opportunity to share my higher education and professional expertise to advance Charter Oak State College mission as your Academic Dean. With the support of the Charter Oak community, I have been able to accomplish various initiatives that are especially gratifying for me and worth taking time to reflect on. One of those initiatives was to redesign of the curriculum for the IDS 101 Cornerstone course. Redesigning this course was an initiative to address the Charter Oak’s strategic goal: to increase the number of students who successfully completed the first year of college.

I would like to thank each of you for the opportunity to meet with you regarding the learning specialist at The Ohio State University. Through our conversation I got a feel for the SASSO team and expectation from you all as Athletic Academic Counselors. Although I felt a little nervous going into the interview, you all immediately put me at ease by welcoming with a handshake or smile.

These past two years have been crammed with so much new knowledge and understanding of dance that I could never be taught at a studio, for example, I have been told many times about my neck being pushed forward if I can recall I was called “turtleneck” but that's beside the point just knowing that I started to notice other things that aren’t correct with myself and I have been able to start fixing it which improved the quality of my dancing tremendously.

The classroom management plan created in EDEL 441 contains a variety of components that are essential to managing the classroom. The classroom management plan encompasses a classroom climate statement, a plan for building a classroom community through classroom responsibilities, a classroom diagram, and a classroom arrangement statement. Additionally, the classroom management plan contains procedures for lining up and walking in a line, cafeteria procedures and expectations, and a statement of why teaching procedures is important to the management of the classroom. Furthermore, the classroom management plan provides information regarding the importance of using a variety of instructional methods, a behavior plan using positive reinforcements,

To begin the planning, teaching and assessment process, it must start with discovering what children know and understand, this can be done through assessment and, therefore, is where to initiate the cycle according to Webster (2009). However, some practitioners start the cycle by planning for lessons based on the curriculum content of the previous year (Fisher, 2013). The practitioner may then start teaching according to the predicted lack or extended knowledge, and, therefore, confuse and fail to progress their learning stated by Fisher (2013). An example of this would be presuming that the children had completed and felt confident in using halves and quarters, and, therefore, starting an activity on writing fractions or using bigger fractions. Completing an activity like the example would only cause more confusion and could end up being a more difficult task than it had originally begun. Therefore teachers should start with assessment, and plans should remain flexible until the information of all the learners is collected (Fisher, 2013). One way of assessing children is through formative assessment, this is by obtaining information within a teaching unit that is then adjusted for future educational scenarios (Antoniou and James, 2014). Formative assessment can help to identify both weaknesses, strengths and help enhance the student’s motivation (Yan and Cheng, 2015).

At my place of work – Include, we do not have ILP’s, this is because we run a twenty week, roll on roll off programme and we wouldn’t have the time. We do however set goals, at the start and during monthly reviews, using simplified paperwork.. Our sister company that teach pre- sixteen’s do, and I have looked at these documents to reflect on anything that would be transferable to my teaching and offer improvements.

The three-week introduction to instructional design (changed from two weeks) for the four department heads can be produced and taught in three months at a proposed cost of $40340 (or approximately 50808 less 20%). The technology includes the in-house learning management system along with audio/video (a/v) design beginning with a prototype. Based on this examination, this project can expand the effectiveness and efficiency of instruction at Ged’s World.

[Develop an item at DOK2 as a practice activity for the students. You will create this item directly within the Learnosity platform, and provide the item that correlates to the specific question that you’ve created. An example of one of the items would be ELA6_A_1_1_ACT_1. This is the information that you will insert here.]

This essay will provide details about how the lesson plan and sequence of lessons for the mathematics unit of symmetry caters for individual students’ needs in regards to active engagement in learning activities and what differentiation measures are put into place for students with varying levels of ability.

Explicit instruction is important in connecting to prior knowledge and skills when beginning a learning sequence (Australian Curriculum and Reporting Authority, 2016). It helps to lay the foundational areas of reading and literacy as a whole in the early years of schooling. Effective reading instruction builds on what children already know, how students learn and on what degree of support they need to become successful in reading/learn and apply new information (Archer, 2011, p.18). Here the idea of scaffolding is evident where “the support provided by the teacher (or another student)…bridge(s) the gap between their current abilities and the intended goal” (Rupley, Blair and Nichols, 2009, p.129). It is important for students who are learning something new, to have the opportunity to have it explained, the opportunity to apply that information guided by their teachers and the opportunity to apply it independently (Archer, 2011). Through an explicit approach the responsibility for learning shifts from teacher to student as they gain confidence and competence with reading. Reading is not an automatic process and must be taught, “explicitly, systematically, early and well” (National Inquiry into the Teaching of Literacy, 2005, as cited in Hempenstall, 2016,p.5). Building on this, it is not enough for explicit instruction to be effective; it must also be efficient so that students can meet outcomes as soon as possible and are given the opportunity to apply it. This highlights

As classrooms are complex and at times unpredictable, unit planning is important to ensure a roadmap for focused teaching and learning with flexible engaging lessons. This unit was tailored for a rural setting to meet Australian Curriculum requirements using the backwards design model (Wiggins & McTighe 2005). Desired outcomes were planned in consultation with the Australian Curriculum, then acceptable evidence of learning and assessment determined. Learning experiences were then designed to utilise engaging and genuine real-world activities to relate shape and area to students’ lives outside school. Finally, the instruction was scaffolded to the students’ numeracy skills and zone of proximal development [ZPD]. The unit fits with my own personal pedagogical philosophy of a student-centred classroom, where students learn through in a positive classroom with social constructivism.
