Assignment: Whole Group Lesson Planning & Differentiation

Once you have gathered assessment and observational data and designed goals, your job as an early childhood educator is to incorporate those goals into daily lesson plans. While incorporating individual goals, you need to make sure you teach state standards and differentiate for your students.

Collaborate with your mentor to create a lesson plan for the whole class that incorporates either a reading or writing academic standard. Complete the "Early Childhood Special Education Lesson Plan Template." 1st grade only

Work with your mentor to schedule a time to implement the lesson and assessment with the class or a small group that includes your two identified students. Following your implementation, discuss with your mentor the strengths and challenges of the lesson, as well as the next steps for the identified students.

Based on your implementation and discussion with your mentor, write a 250 to 500 word reflection that answers the following questions:

Question A. What were the strengths of your lesson and implementation?

Question B. What changes or revisions would you make if you were to implement this lesson again?

Question C. How did each of your selected students respond to the lesson? Summarize the individual assessment data, reflecting on the effect of differentiation for literacy skills/development.

Question D. What will be the next steps for each student based on their progress thus far?
