When planning, I bring into
consideration students with
special needs. There is a
student who has a cognitive
processing issue and takes
significantly more time than
other students to complete
an assessment or writing
assignment. After direct
instruction, I assist him on
directions and repeat how
students are supposed to
complete the assignment.
His assignments are also
modified to accommodate
his disability. 7/15/19
Integrating
Because our school is
religiously affiliated with
the Catholic faith, all of our
teaching and interactions
are guided with
Catholicism. This allows me
to teach with Bible
references about biases and
today’s culture. 7/15/19
As part of the differentiation
within my instructional
planning, students have
been pulled from classes for
major intervention on
reading. This was a decision
made by the inclusive staff
and the reading teachers.
12/12/19
With a student who has an
IEP, I understand and
modify the work that she
must complete in the given
class period. There are also
literature periods where she
is missing from class
because she is getting
special one-on-one help
with our STEP coordinator
for her reading. The main
resource that is helping her
make strides in her reading
is Fountas and Pinell. 5/1/20
Innovating
During my classes,
especially based in the unit
of the Outsiders, we have
serious discussions on how
people are judged based on
biases and stereotyping and
assumptions. Next, we do a
cultural awareness reading.
12/12/19
During my unit of teaching
the novel study, The
Outsiders, I have students
take a pre-reading bias that
helps them understand what
biases are and how
stereotypes affect others.
This helps students identify
what a bias is and we are
able to analyze it throughout
the novel. 5/1/20

At the beginning of each
lesson, I explicitly tell the
students the objective for
the lesson and explain what
each verb in the objective
means-such as “analyze” or
“contrast”-to the students.
Next, I briefly explain the
activities that the students
will complete in order to
achieve the objective.
Finally, I explain the
relevance to the lesson to
their life or educational
career. 7/15/19

During my technology based
learning menu activities that
are based in the novel unit of
The Lion, the Witch, and the
Wardrobe, students were
given timelines and goals to
complete different sections
of the learning menu and I
helped them make the
timelines and stay on task.
12/12/19
When I am teaching writing,
I explain my objectives and
where they fit in the overall
unit of writing. I also explain
what each word in the
objective means and how it
relates to the lesson. I
explain to them the short
term and long term learning
goals of the writing. For
example,"Today's objective
is : I can write topic
sentences that support a
thesis" and go on to
explain about how it fits into
the overall unit and full
writing assignment. 5/1/20
