The document provides instructions for an assignment in EDSP 377 that involves creating a lesson plan to teach a pre-K student with autism named Johnsaan to ask for help using words. Students are asked to develop a 2-page lesson plan incorporating the 5 major components outlined in Chapter 5 and a 1-page reflection. The lesson plan should teach Johnsaan to replace grunting and hand waving with asking for help verbally in order to reduce his challenging behaviors. The reflection should address the rationale for the lesson, review the planning process, and identify challenges and solutions.

Tool for Analyzing and Adapting Curriculum Materials
Overview: This tool is designed to help you prepare to use curriculum materials, particularly individual lessons that are part of larger units, with students. It supports you to do three things:
1. Identify the academic focus of the materials;
2. Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural relevance;
3. Consider student thinking in relation to the core content and activities;
4. Adapt the materials and create a more complete plan to use in the classroom.
Section 1: Identify the academic focus of the materials
Read the materials in their entirety. If you are working with a single lesson that is part of a larger unit, read or skim the entire unit, and then read the lesson closely. Annotate the materials:
1. What are the primary and secondary learning goals?
· What are the 1-2 most important concepts or practices that students are supposed to learn?
· What are students responsible for demonstrating that they know and can do in mid-unit and final assessments and performance tasks?
2. What are the core tasks and activities:
· What needs to be mastered or completed before the next lesson?
· Where is the teacher’s delivery of new information, guidance, or support most important?
· Where is discussion or opportunities for collaboration with others important?
· Are there activities or tasks that could be moved to homework if necessary?
Section 2: Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural relevance:
Use the checklist in the chart below to analyze the materials. If you mark “no,” make notes about possible adaptations to the materials. You may annotate the materials directly as an alternative to completing the chart.
Consideration
Yes or no?
Notes about possible adaptations
1.
Analyze for grade-level appropriateness and intellectual demand:
1a. Do the learning goals and instructional activities align with relevant local, state, or national standards?
1b. Are the materials sufficiently challenging for one’s own students (taking into account the learning goals, the primary instructional activities, and the major assignments and assessments)? Do they press and support students to do the difficult academic work?
2.
Analyze for instructional and academic coherence (if analyzing a unit):
2a. Do the individual lessons in a unit build coherently toward clear, overarching learning goals, keyed to appropriate standards? Name the set of learning goals.
2b. Is progress against those goals measured in a well-designed assessment?
2c. Does each lesson build on the previous one?
2d. Are there opportunities for teachers to reinforce or draw upon previously learned information and skills in subsequent lessons?
3.
Analyze for cultural relevance/orientation to social justice:
3a. Are the materials likely to engage the backgrounds, interests, and strengths of one’s own s.

Unit Plan: Differentiated Lesson Plan Assignment Instructions
Overview
This is a continuation of the first part of your unit, the Unit Plan: Classroom, Goals, and Reading Assignment, developed in Module 4: Week 4. For this assignment, you are to fully develop your five lessons on the provided template, adding all materials you will be using to teach the entire five-day unit. Refer to the Unit Plan: Differentiated Lesson Plan Grading Rubric for more details on the expecations of this assignment. This is a Benchmark Assignment for your Developmental Portfolio.
The lesson plan is the key component to effective instruction in the classroom. Studies have shown that teachers who are well prepared with exciting and interesting lesson plans have to deal with far fewer behavior issues in their classrooms. That is why it is so important for you to learn the basics of designing a lesson plan. To begin, use the following list to choose a grade level and core content area for which you would like to develop a lesson plan. It would be wise to create your plan for the age level and content area you are currently teaching or planning to teach. You may not use a lesson plan you have created for another course for this assignment.

After you have selected your grade level and subject area, you will need to consult the Virginia State Department of Education’s website to locate the state standards for your particular grade and subject area. You can access the website with the Virginia Standards of Learning link provided with this assignment. You will also need to locate the Common Core standard for your particular grade level and subject area. See the Common Core Standards link provided with this assignment.
Once you have located the standards for the grade level and subject area for your plan, choose one around which you want to develop your lesson plan. Keep in mind that this is a single lesson plan, not an entire unit, so you will have to narrow down your topic to one that can easily be taught in a single lesson. For example, if you want to cover addition for Kindergarten, you will narrow that to one specific concept of addition that is to be taught to kindergarteners.
Complete your lesson plan using the provided Unit Plan: Differentiated Lesson Plan Template document.
· Name: You must put your first and last name on the lesson plan so it can be easily identified by the instructor.
· Grade/Subject: You will identify what grade level and subject area is the focus for your lesson plan (e.g., 3rd grade science).
· Topic: You will choose a specific topic within your grade/subject area that your state standards require you to teach (e.g., addition in math, noun ...

Educators use a multitude of strategies to incorporate content across the curriculum. They do this to ensure content mastery through various disciplines. Planning for instruction is an integral part of being effective at integrating instruction.
Teach one or more ELA, social studies, and/or art lessons provided by your mentor teacher. Carefully review the results of any formal or informal assessments you administered as part of that teaching, to evaluate the effect of your teaching on student outcomes.
Discuss with your mentor teacher his or her teaching philosophy and methods for social studies and art instruction, and on integrating content areas. Include questions for discussion relating to his or her methods for differentiating for students at different levels. Connect these differentiation methods to a specific need (due to disability, developmental delay, bilingual language development, or another specific issue). Also, in preparation of Clinical Field Experience E in Topic 6, discuss a lesson, provided by your mentor, you can teach in ELA, social studies, or the arts. Review Clinical Field Experience E in Topic 6 to become familiar with the requirements.

Razik and Swanson
Data within the United States is processed based on four assessments. The assessments are reading, math, science, and other subjects. They are based on 4th, 8th, and 12th graders. They are also broken up into different ethnic groups. There are a lot of data that is alarming within the U.S. Data is based on household characteristics, family and peer influences, and student achievement. Also in this chapter it reaches on the education reform movement. Global forces and the specific causes that are concerning within the U.S. education system. What are the causes of failure within the U.S. school system and what changes can be implemented to improve the rapid downfall of our education system.
When all of the assessments were implemented on the different groups that provided data that broke up the groups that is when I feel our education system had been broken. Ways of instruction as well as curriculum has not changed much, however, all of the testing data is what has changed and the ways that the data is being implemented. Schools have become all about the numbers instead of the importance of what is being taught to our children. If the U.S. school systems were not all about the numbers and teaching our children how to read and write I feel that our schools would be more successful in all the data assessments that are being implemented. The problem is that special attention is given to achievement gaps among ethnic and economic groups instead of teaching everyone the same way that was taught years and years ago. With all the changes within the school systems and how they are wanting teachers to teach their children has caused a lot of confusion as well as stress upon the teachers as well as the children.

Below are some student examples that are excellent blog posts for the first two prompts in Module 1
(The Brain). The goal for the discussion posts is to engage in the module materials directly and explore
some of the questions and issues in each module more deeply. The posts are very important for your
learning. Below you will find comments to help you understand how these students met the rubric
requirements. The rubric for blog posts is posted in the end of this document and is in the course
syllabus.
Blog Post # 1:
● Describe a time when you engaged in something adults might consider risky and/or thoughtless:
● How old were you?
● Why did you do it?
● What were you thinking at the time?
Think back to the article on risk-taking you read and to the video you watched on the teen brain. What
connections can you make between the lecture, the article, and/or the video?

old at the time within the middle age range. A big activity at the river is jumping off of
rocks. My parents did not want my sisters and me to engage in this activity. During one
of the annual trips, I joined the older teenagers on a boat ride to the “jumping rock.”
Depending on how much risk they wanted to take, there are different levels for people
to jump off of. All of the older teens were jumping off of the highest level. I decided to
join the older teens and jump from the tallest rock. At the time, I wanted to do it
because all of the older teenagers were doing it. I wanted to be like them. This was not
an impulsive decision. I had thought about doing this activity the whole trip and decided
to go on the boat ride, knowing they were going to jump off the tallest rock. The article,
“Beautiful Brains,” explains, “Seeking sensation isn’t necessarily impulsive. You might
plan a sensation-seeking experience- a skydive or a fast car…” (Dobbs, 2011, p. 49).
By jumping off the rock with them, I thought this would change their view of me as an
older and more mature teenager. When they changed their opinion about me, it would
allow me to hang out with them all the time. I was taking more risks because I would get
a higher reward. This relates to the article, “Beautiful Brains,” which states, “Teens take
more risks not because they don’t understand the dangers but because they weigh risk
versus reward differently. In situations where risk can get them something they want,
they value the reward more heavily than adults do” (Dobbs, 2011, p. 54). By jumping off
the tallest rock, it gave me the reward of spending more time with the older teenagers.
If I had jumped off the shorter rock, I could have not been accepted into the group
because they did not view me as mature as themselves. Therefore, I would have been
penalized for not.

Reading Summary 1
Razik and Swanson
Data within the United States is processed based on four assessments. The assessments are reading, math, science, and other subjects. They are based on 4th, 8th, and 12th graders. They are also broken up into different ethnic groups. There are a lot of data that is alarming within the U.S. Data is based on household characteristics, family and peer influences, and student achievement. Also in this chapter it reaches on the education reform movement. Global forces and the specific causes that are concerning within the U.S. education system. What are the causes of failure within the U.S. school system and what changes can be implemented to improve the rapid downfall of our education system.
When all of the assessments were implemented on the different groups that provided data that broke up the groups that is when I feel our education system had been broken. Ways of instruction as well as curriculum has not changed much, however, all of the testing data is what has changed and the ways that the data is being implemented. Schools have become all about the numbers instead of the importance of what is being taught to our children. If the U.S. school systems were not all about the numbers and teaching our children how to read and write I feel that our schools would be more successful in all the data assessments that are being implemented. The problem is that special attention is given to achievement gaps among ethnic and economic groups instead of teaching everyone the same way that was taught years and years ago. With all the changes within the school systems and how they are wanting teachers to teach their children has caused a lot of confusion as well as stress upon the teachers as well as the children.

Below are some student examples that are excellent blog posts for the first two prompts in Module 1
(The Brain). The goal for the discussion posts is to engage in the module materials directly and explore
some of the questions and issues in each module more deeply. The posts are very important for your
learning. Below you will find comments to help you understand how these students met the rubric
requirements. The rubric for blog posts is posted in the end of this document and is in the course
syllabus.
Blog Post # 1:
● Describe a time when you engaged in something adults might consider risky and/or thoughtless:
● How old were you?
● Why did you do it?
● What were you thinking at the time?
Think back to the article on risk-taking you read and to the video you watched on the teen brain. What
connections can you make between the lecture, the article, and/or the video?
Growing up, my family would take annual trips to the river in Laughlin, Nevada. We
would go with our family friends who had kids with a wide range of ages. I was 13 years
old at the time within the middle age range. A big activity at the river is jumping off of

the tallest rock, it gave me the reward of spending more time with the older teenagers.
If I had jumped off the shorter rock, I could have not been accepted into the group
because they did not view me as mature as themselves. Therefore, I would have been

Reading Literacy
Draft
Part A
The context of the classroom setting
In the first section of this action research project I will address the context of classroom setting. Although, it is as important as the teaching itself and understand it is essential in creating learning environments in which every student can thrive. According to Pallardy, context is a classroom’s characteristics such as the composition of the student body, classroom structures and resources. Furthermore, by establishing that context is dependent on student learning we are able to come up with an action research question that will be discussed in this essay. The action research will be on the reading workshop; Is motivation among students a big challenge when it comes to reading literacy?
In addition, a reading workshop is one way to structure a class. Developing strong reading skills in students is one of the key goals in an educational program. Reading workshops encourages the students to become better readers. To accommodate the children’s variability, I assess the children through instructing them to write journals on what they have read and giving them vocabulary tests on that week’s reading. This helps when it comes to identifying student with a reading problem and can be able to tailor lessons to individuals.
One of the concerns that I have experienced in this classroom setting of reading workshops is children’s motivation to read books that they have selected. Their ability to choose the right book and their commitment to stay with the book until they finished is also a concern when it comes to their motivation when reading books. These findings were drawn from the data of the journals and vocabulary test that I had assigned to them. The journals that they wrote the boys in the class performed poorly more than the girls. There is also the fact that the boys in the class didn’t find satisfaction in reading unlike the girls. The boys also were not reading books of their own accord unlike the girls in the class who spent hours with ‘series’ books and other chapter books.
The classroom has 24 students; 52% are boys and 48% are girls. The last two tests on vocabulary showed that girls performed more than the boys. Also, the literature review was discouraging: the boys were lagging the girls. This concerns may be a product of the independent reading workshop and of the freedom of children to choose their own books during that session.
Through observation and interaction with the boys that excelled in the literature reviews I noted that families had a strong impact and the boys that saw their fathers at home read were more likely to choose to read. Therefore, having spoken with the school administration I invited some of the male role models for the boys. I invited teachers, some of their fathers, other school male employees to visit the class and talk about their reading habits. Some of them were frank about their discovery about.

EDUC 364: The Role of Cultural Diversity in Schooling
A dialectical journal is one in which you engage in conversation with the text. This involves pulling quotes from the text, and providing your reaction, thoughts, analysis and/or questions about what you’ve read. When reading a chapter from Spring(chapter2 and 3), choose 3-5 short passages/selections from each assigned chapter on which to reflect. See the example below. You can format your DJ in a chart format (see next page for template), or you can format it simply as a question/answer format like below. The goal is to use the DJ to think through your reactions and prepare for discussion. Submit your DJ to Cougar Courses prior to class, and if you don’t have your computer with you in class, print it out so you have it with you for a class discussion
Example
Quote: “Faced with the world’s migration of people’s, some countries, such as Singapore, have maintained cultural pluralism by providing public schools that use the child’s home language and reflect the cultural values of the child’s home. Through the use of educational methods that promote cultural pluralism, Singapore has been able to maintain Chinese, Malay, and Indian cultures and languages. Therefore, there have been different educational approaches to the intersection of cultures resulting from globalization...Minority cultures in the United State have primarily experienced cultural genocide, deculturalization, and denial of education. Immigrant groups have mostly experienced assimilation and hybridity.” (Chapter 1).
Response: This is always what I come back to when thinking about American education. We could have chosen a different path, a different approach educating the various groups of children that have come through the school system. But instead of seeing schooling primarily as a democratizing tool, the founders and those in government who came after them saw schooling as a tool for deculturalization, for imposing hegemony. What is most frustrating is how to tease out how our current system still contains the legacy of those oppressive institutional choices. Seeing those remnants for what they are--clearly--is the only way to change the system to truly benefit all kids.

EDUC 144 Writing Tips The writing assignments in this cla.docxtidwellveronique
EDUC 144 Writing Tips
The writing assignments in this class require students to engage in critical thinking and analysis,
producing papers that go beyond simple summaries of course readings by utilizing concepts, ideas, and
findings in course readings to critically analyze contemporary schooling and academic achievement in
the United States. Below is a list of suggestions to help you write strong papers that are critical and
analytical.
The introductory paragraph should briefly mention the topic and purpose/focus of your paper and state
your thesis in clear, specific terms (i.e. “In this paper, I will argue…” or “I will contend...,” or “I will
demonstrate…”).
Each paragraph in the body of the paper should be tightly organized around one main idea. Each
paragraph should build on previous ones and provide concrete examples/findings from the week’s
readings that serve as data that support your analysis, or examples from your own experiences and
observations of schooling that serve as evidence in support of your analysis. If you are drawing on a
specific theoretical concept(s) or idea(s) in your analysis, remember to clearly define and explain the
concept(s) or idea(s) before using that concept(s) or idea(s) to investigate and analyze particular aspects
of contemporary schooling.
The concluding paragraph needs to restate the thesis and main points addressed in the paper.
Sometimes writers do not know what their argument is until they have reached the end of the paper—or
the thesis has changed by the end. If either of these happens to you, be sure to put your thesis in the first
paragraph as well and/or make sure that you are making the same argument throughout the paper.
Things to keep in mind, at the level of the paragraph:
Make sure your comments are relevant to the topic at hand: one way to do this is to make an outline of
each paragraph’s main idea; each one should clearly relate to the topic and focus/purpose or thesis of
your paper. It is writer’s responsibility to select relevant concepts or ideas, examples of research
findings from the week’s readings, and/or personal experiences and observations that relate directly to
the topic and purpose/focus of the paper. It is not appropriate to expect the reader to do this instead.
Remember, examples/research findings and personal experiences and observations are not “obviously”
evidence in support of your analysis until you explicitly explain how these examples/findings/
experiences/observations support the claims in your analysis.
Make sure each paragraph’s main idea is clearly connected to your thesis.
*Smoothly transition between paragraphs: connect first line of new paragraph with main idea of
previous paragraph.
*Stick to the facts at hand—do not overstate your case.
Things to keep in mind, at the level of the sentence:
*Tighten sentence structure: combine sentences when possible by eliminating redundant information.
*Employ p.

5.1 Introduction
Curriculum lies at the heart of educational policies and practices.
They are are highly political documents which convey ideological positions about
the type of education that should be given in different cultural contexts and the
citizenship values that can be shared by the citizen of a state (Apple, 2004).
Each society has its own values and beliefs which they want to be translated into
educational objectives via the curriculum.
“Curriculum is a comprehensive plan for an educational programme/institute/
course to offer new or improved manpower to accomplish the rising needs of a
dynamic society” (Pillai, 2015).
5.1.1 Orientations to curriculum

5.2 Definition of Curriculum Development
Curriculum development is defined as the process which is planned, purposeful,
progressive, and systematic in order to create positive improvements in the
educational system.
The curriculum is affected by any changes or developments that affect society
(Alvior, 2014).
It needs to correspond to those changes but at the same time to respect all
people despite of gender, ethnicity, disability, religion etc. (Symeonidou and
Mavrou, 2014).

Learning is intentional and contextual, and it involves developing systems and structures that not only allow but also encourage organization members to learn and grow together –to develop “communities of practice.”
-Preskill and Torres
The idea of a subject that calls to us is more than metaphor. In the community of truth, the knower is not the only active agent –the subject itself participates in the dialectic of knowing...geologists are people who hear rocks speak, historians are people who hear the voices of the long dead, writers are people who hear the music of words. The things of the world call to us, and we are drawn to them –each of us to different things, as each is drawn to different friends.
--Parker J. Palmer
Teaching is a complex, relational, and creative event. When I teach, I am simultaneously involved in several dynamic relations: with myself, with my everyday world, with my subject matter, and with my students. I cannot really teach if I am not engaged with my students or if my students are not involved with me.
--Carol S. Becker
The relationship between our physical constraints and the assertion of our freedom is not a 'problem' requiring a solution. It is simply the way human beings are. Our condition is to be ambiguous to the core, and our task is to learn to manage the movement and uncertainty in our existence, not banish it...the ambiguous human condition means tirelessly trying to take control of things. We have to do two near-impossible things at once: understand ourselves as limited by circumstances, and yet continue to pursue our projects as though we are truly in control.
--Sarah Bakewell
Course Description
Welcome to EDST 1100: “Situated Learning.” As described in the university calendar, the aims of this seminar are as follows:
“This course is framed around situated learning theories in relation to the provisioning of educational experiences in a variety of contexts (e.g., early familial experiences, formal educational experiences, cultural educational experiences, employment educational experiences). Students are first introduced to the major principles of families of learning theories (e.g., behaviourism, cognitivism, social learning theory, social constructivism). This introduction is followed by in-depth study of situated learning theory drawing from Lave and Wenger (1991) a seminal text in the field. Students engage in exploring exemplars of situated learning drawing from theory to understand the factors at play in the exemplars because, as situated learning theory would suggest, the representations of situated learning theory must be situated in relation to reference points. Given any particular learning engagement’s situational parameters, stu.

You will be using the Michael Jones case study which has been provided with the instucstions to this. All portions of the IEP will pertain to Michael. It is understood that it will be difficult to fully consider the development of an IEP without more exhaustive details considering Michael’s educational and functional strengths and weaknesses.
To complete the IEP, it will be necessary to review all of the assigned reading and presentations. You may also research current information on Virginia Department of Education’s website. These resources provide valuable information and examples to help create the IEP. You will use the IEP template that is a sample created from the VA DOE’s sample IEP, also located in the Assignment Instruction folder for Module/Week 3.

Chapter 2: The Interest of the SS in the
Monumental Building Economy
As Albert Speer has written, the SS never efficiently maximized its use of forced labor
even after 1942 when forced-labor operations were made a key part of centralized
government wartime economic policy.1 But such a retrospective assessment misrepresents
a crucial point: while SS economic managers and on-site camp administrations never
efficiently used their forced-labor population, this population nevertheless was coerced
into functioning productively. The SS did not temper the punitive and brutal goal of the
camps in suppressing supposed enemies of the Party and state in order to address the
individual needs of the forced-laborer to make him more efficient. Rather, it was through
the day-to-day oppression of individual prisoners that the productive goals of SS
administrators came together with the punitive initiatives of the on-site camp personnel.
But for what end were productivity and punishment combined? From the founding
of major forced-labor operations in 1938 until their reorientation to the armaments industry
in 1942–3, the predominant answer to this question is: to provide materials for the
monumental building economy. The building economy in general was one of the most
dynamic sectors of growth in National Socialist Germany. Monumental projects favored
by Hitler provided a high-profile symbolic focus to contemporary discussions concerning
the strength of the German economy. As one of Hitler’s major peacetime initiatives, the
reconstruction of specific cities on a massive scale and with particular aesthetic materials
(above all, stone) helped revive par.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Scenario Instructions
Scenario 2: Teaching communication skills
Scenario assignments are designed to help the candidate
synthesize and apply course content to real-world situations
involving individuals with ASD. In Scenario #2, candidates
will create a lesson plan for a pre-K student with autism who
has communication needs.
Scenario: You are a pre-K teacher for a 4-year-old student with
autism named Johnsaan. Johnsaan has difficulty asking for help
when he needs something. Instead of asking for help using
words, he grunts and waves his hands until he gets a response
and engages in challenging behaviors. As Johnsaan's teacher,
you need to teach him to use words to ask for help, which
should decrease his challenging behavior. What components
need to be included in your lesson plan?
Assignment: Drawing on the lesson planning and delivery
techniques discussed in Chapter 5, create a lesson plan that
could be used to teach Johnsaan to ask for help. Be sure your
lesson plan includes the 5 major components of a lesson plan,
outlined in Chapter 5, that will enhance your student's ability to
express himself when he needs help. The final assignment
should be a completed lesson plan, approximately 2 pages
(Times New Roman, 12-point font) and an additional 1-page
candidate reflection.
Step 1: Identify the main components of the lesson including
the goal and/or objective, specific information related to the
conditions for responding, types of reinforcers and
reinforcement schedule, mastery criteria and evaluation
methods.
Step 2: Develop a formal lesson incorporating at least 1
specified presentation style outlined in Chapter 5: Direct
2. Instruction (DI), Discreet Trial Training (DTT), Milieu
Teaching (MU), Grouping, or Embedded ABA Teaching
Strategies. The formal lesson plan must include an opportunity
for guided practice and independent practice. Opportunities for
generalization and maintenance should be outlined.
Step 3: Reflect upon the lesson planning process. The reflection
should integrate course materials and a biblical world-view,
including at least 2 in-text citations and reference list following
APA formatting. The following considerations should be
addressed within the reflection:
· Rationale for the identification of selected target skill and
presentation style(s).
· Review of the lesson planning process including consideration
of pre-requisite skills and next steps after lesson
implementation.
· Identification of possible challenges with implementation and
how these potential challenges will be addressed prior to and
during instruction.
