Introduction
When planning a lesson in the classroom it is extremely important to keep in mind all the needs of the students in the classroom. Every student has their own level of learning and some have major needs that may need some adaptations in the lesson plan. Currently, all my lessons follow along with the fourth grade curriculum with sixteen students in the classroom. There are three students in the classroom that have specific needs.
One female student has an IEP that calls for 120 minutes of services. These services include small group settings in which the student received a high degree of focused attention on each content area. Two male students are both considered English Language Learners. The first ELL student is considered to be a level 3 WIDA at his previous school. He is currently being evaluated for a possible IEP. He receives four 40 minute sessions of background building for all content areas per week. This student also has seizure every so often, which may impact his learning. The second ELL student is speaking at a level 6, writing at a level 2 and reading at a level 1 with an overall score of 2.8. He recently joined the HMLS but immediately started receiving four 40 minute background building sessions per week. At the request of his parents, he is also being evaluated for an IEP.
Besides these three students, there are other students who receive tutoring within the classroom. There are five students who receive math tutoring on Mondays Wednesdays and
When I do plan my lessons, I focus first on my student’s interests, readiness skills, and learning profile and take into consideration that their interests, readiness and learning profile follows in the content that I teach. I then apply my teaching lessons with various activities to keep their brains active and engaged in the learning
As an educator I will ensure that the lesson plans are relatable, engaging, and they will in fact impact the lives if each student.
Consider the variety of learners in your class who may require different strategies/support (e.g., students with IEPs or 504 plans, English language learners, struggling readers, underperforming students or those with gaps in academic knowledge, and/or gifted
When planning a lesson it is important to know and achieve the goals of the lesson so they should be written at the top of every plan. It is also important to have specific objectives to match the lesson and goals these can be short term. It is a good idea to practice the lesson to be sure you have all the right materials and are prepared for the
Despite the breakdowns I would experience from not understanding what was being taught in class, I was able to improve my situation. Instead of suffering in silence with my confusion, I began asking my teacher more questions during class lectures. I would even come in at seven in the morning to discuss my problem about understanding the logic behind the math with my teacher. Not only did I speak with my teacher more, I also bought a study book for the class and began watching Chemistry videos from Bozeman and Khan Academy to teach myself any topics that were not clear to me during class.
InTASC Standard 7 states the requirements for effectively planning instruction. First of all, the educator must ensure that every student meets learning goals. The instruction the teacher plans needs to fit the needs of every student so that no child is put at a disadvantage. Every student should have an equal opportunity to benefit from every lesson. In order to plan such effective instruction, an educator needs to take several areas into account. First of all, a teacher should draw upon past experience with and knowledge of the content, so that the students have a foundation to stand on. Students will feel more comfortable and open going into the lesson if they already know something. Secondly, an effective teacher needs to consider
Create lesson plans to reflect weekly and monthly themes in all academic areas such as Math, English, Science and Social Studies.
The Lesson Plan artifact includes three FEAPs competencies, which are Competency 2, Competency 1, and Competency 3. Competency 2 addresses the Learning Environment as follows: Knowledge of appropriate student-centered learning environment. The lesson plan involves a tremendous amount of information and work. As an educator when creating a lesson plan, one will need to decide the best delivery method of the lesson plan taking into consideration the learning environment, perhaps using to delivery methods. It is imperative to create an environment that is student centered appropriate learning atmosphere maximizing the students’ academic potential and success. Communication is an important key in creating an effective lesson plan. The teacher recognizes the standards they want to address and will develop a technique to ensure the objectives and goals for the lesson will be accomplished. Each student learns differently and it is up to the teacher to recognize those variations and adapt the lesson plan accordingly to include the needs and background of all the students in the class.

Coates' learning of how the world functions at first happens in the boulevards, particularly as he shuns the Baltimore schools as pointless in diminishing the separation between the world and himself. When he goes to Howard he is more open to instruction in a formal sense, yet additionally grasps the part of a self-teacher. His self-learning is noteworthy and broad to the point that the classroom practically appears like his very own expansion perusing and work. His training additionally originates from cooperations with individuals around him and from his submersion in the more extensive world. He learns not only the historical backdrop of dark individuals in America, yet in addition how to think, how to love and feel in various courses, how
Classroom discipline differs between every teacher and school. Some schools have strict rules on classroom management and some are more laid-back. I hope to have the freedom to create my own rules for my classroom. Having the ability to create my own rules can make means that I, not the school, can control the classroom. When it comes to making the rules of the class, I believe students should be allowed to help make the rules.
Each group of students will have something new to teach me. It will be up to me to take from them new knowledge and apply it to my teaching practice. Lesson plans are not concrete and can and often are changed during a lesson. I need to be accepting of this and understand that some things work and others do not. Throughout my teaching, I will be sure to understand as much as I can about each student, including what is needed to help my special needs students. The best way to see that they succeed is to have a team of teachers to help all students reach their goals. We need to remember that it is important to work together for the needs of students and to put any conflicts behind us for their
The art of teaching involves different styles and methods of instructing. An educator’s ability to apply effective instructional strategies should understand how students learn. There is no single learning approach or style that works for every student.(Cetin) This paper will reflect upon my observation and participation during my field experience and demonstrate how it relates to the concepts of course material studied during this semester, “EDUC 2130, Exploring Teaching and Learning”.
While in this class I have learned a lot of valuable information which will be extremely helpful when teaching in the future. Through this course the content, assignments, and format of class have had a great impact on what I learned and how I learned. I feel this class has benefited me and I 'm thankful I was able to learn and attend. I am also thankful for the relationships I have built with other teachers in the education program because of the peer interaction in this class.
For a classroom shows how and what the children are learning. There is many concepts that go into a children 's classroom; like the room, the objects and/or subjects, functions behind everything in the room. For Paley everything has a meaning that is in that room and it plays an important role for all the children that come into that room. The classroom and the children have a hand-in-hand process to fill the room of experiences and progress to learn more. Each teacher has a different view and goals for the classroom and the children in that classroom, then it can affect how the class learns through the experiences that they have. According to Worth and Grollman (2003), “the content areas are separated to help teachers set goals and guide children 's experiences, but in most cases, these areas will be integrated in classroom work” (p. 41) this is how I think on most classrooms where the teacher has goals and guides the experience for understanding. The classroom is focused on what the children are focused on and what is being learned throughout the year, not the focus of the teacher and what is focused on items or subjects that the children would not understand.
For many years, students have been learning in classrooms through the traditional method of writing with a pen and paper. The pen and paper method used to be the only way of taking notes, doing homework, and studying. As years passed, technology began to develop, especially computers and laptops. In many work forces, the use of computer technology is imperative, whereas in others its usage is questionable. In the field of education, although the use of computer technology is questionable, it has been continuously growing in classrooms. Today, almost all teachers are using some form of computer technology in their classrooms. With the increased use of computer technology in classrooms, the traditional learning method of writing with
