I will outline each strategy within my lesson plan to ensure there is a minimum of
three unique teaching strategies selected
I will research effective strategies commonly used for particular lessons and how to
incorporate them within the lesson
I will utilize the experience of my Teacher Associates and fellow staff members, as
well as my University Consultant when designing lessons and units
I will include strategies that the students have outlined they learn best by having
them complete an exit slip pertaining to their education
I will reflect and assess how well I was able to integrate the different methods into
the lesson plan, as well as how effective I was at teaching through that particular
strategy
I will reflect on how well the students grasped the content and how they engaged
within the class through the use of these strategies
I will provide more videos and hands-on activities within my lesson plans so as to
differentiate learning strategies within the classroom, and provide students with a
different experience of engaging in Science
I will utilize more collaborative learning strategies within my lessons such as ThinkPair-Share, Jigsaw activities, A.E.I.O.U., Gallery walks, Group roles and Scaffolding
to ensure that students have an opportunity to communicate amongst themselves
and learn from each other
I will outline each method of formative assessment within my lesson plan to ensure
I am consistently integrating this method within my lessons
Incorporating bell work to completed before class in a separate notebook that
reviews previous lesson concepts and provides formative assessment evidence
that informs subsequent instruction and is made available for parental
communication purposes
Integrate exit and entry slips to assess student understanding of particular lesson
concepts that also serves as immediate feedback for the students themselves
Consistently and frequently check for student understanding through a variety of
different strategies such as Thumbs Up, Sideways, or Down, as well as a Show of
Fingers, and other quick responses
C. Indicators of Progress
Indicators of Progress for Goal #1:
Lesson plans and personal reflections on the quality of lessons will provide
evidence of incorporating 3 different strategies/activities in each lesson
Oral and written feedback from my Teacher Associates and University Consultant
regarding the structures of my lessons and their effectiveness
Monitor student engagement and learning during lessons to help determine
effectiveness of strategies/activities used. Formative assessment during class time
is key
