As an educator, you will be expected to know how to create and implement daily lesson plans and assessments. It is important to develop the skills to write lesson plans that include state standards, effective learning objectives, appropriate instructional strategies, and differentiated activities and assessments to meet the diverse needs of all students. Assessments do not have to look the same for all students. By using ethical and equitable approaches, assessments can be seamlessly woven into instruction to provide students with multiple opportunities to demonstrate their learning. Effective instructional planning and assessments are foundational to your future professional practice.
Part 1: Lesson Plan
Throughout this course, you have developed a full lesson plan, including aligning learning objectives to standards, determining instructional strategies and assessments, planning all components of a lesson plan, and considering differentiation for diverse student needs.
Imagine that you are now planning the next lesson for learning. Using the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” develop that full lesson by choosing the next standard you would address and applying the planning process to that standard using the template.
Include at least 2-4 assessments and for each assessment included in your lesson plan, justify its purpose in supporting and demonstrating learning.
Part 2: Reflection
Write a 500-750 word reflection on how you would apply assessment practices to your lesson plan. Address the following in your reflection:
Discuss how you designed standards-based formative and summative assessments that are differentiated to meet all student needs.
Explain 2-3 methods for providing descriptive and timely feedback within the lesson to assist students and families in understanding student progress.
Describe ethical and equitable assessment practices for the classroom, including when using technology to support assessment.
Support your lesson plan and reflection with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
Submit your lesson plan and reflection in a single document.
Note: This assignment may be added as an artifact to your toolkit.
