Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template
Your SEL goal for this lesson for this specific student:
Social-emotional developmental (SEL) factors that may influence instruction in this academic area or that could be
addressed in this academic area (TPE 2.1)
There is a lot of competition between some of the students, in group work, about who gets done first. Stressing work that is
well done, using their best printing and making work look nice will be a goal in this lesson.
Interests and/or aspirations in the class (relevant to this academic area) (TPE 1.3)
The class as a whole is interested in participating/ raising their hands and trying to perform well. They are encouraging of
each other, when one is recognized for good behavior and gets to move their pin up. They are mostly able to pair up with
anyone and get along. A few have a harder time staying on task when they are paired together. Their desk partners, and rug
partners have been arranged to provide for minimal distractions.
Opportunities to address challenges (such as misunderstandings or misconceptions) related to the learning objective
and lesson (using Growth Mindset Language): This section is the bridge between the concerns for individual students
identified in Section 7 and how this will play out in the context of the actual classroom setting and the lesson plans you are
currently preparing. Based on the information above, what difficulties may students have with the content? Specify
anticipated difficulties for English language learners, students with special needs, or students with unique needs. Work to
connect your information based on the student’s IEP, behavioral plan, and/or observations by the teacher and teaching
candidate. (TPE 1.4, 1.6, 2.1, 3.5, 4.4)
I will use popsicle sticks to ensure that all students are participating in our discussion, and in our guided practice. In order to
ensure that students are on task and to view their white boards and asses their words, I
will be circulating.

How will you specifically address each the CA ELD Standards you identified at the beginning of this lesson plan to ensure
your students will master your Learning Outcomes?
I will introduce the long vowel “I” and remind the class other common vowel team conventions that make a long “I” sound.
We will manipulate letters in order for students to build the vowel convention and write it, then provide an engaging
activity for independent and collaborative practice.
The word game will involve playing with table partners and taking turns reading, which will provide a great opportunity for
my EL to work on her collaboration and communicating with peers.
2. Differentiation for Special Needs: Tie it to the specific needs of your students. (TPE 3.5, 4.4)
For my speech IEP student I will speak slow and clear and enunciate the sound to ensure that my voice and the letters are
heard. We will practice segmenting and blending of words, along with deletion, addition, and substitution of consonants to
practice individual sounds. I will use visuals to ensure that students are able to maintain a visual of the target vowel
convention.
For this lesson we will target Relationship Skills, specifically practicing teamwork and collaborative problem solving.
Specific strategy that you will use to inculcate that competency: Students will work with desk partner to play word game.
They will take turns calling out words for the other to circle. They will take turns reading words to their partner.
Multiple Means of Engagement: Recruiting Interest: Optimizing individual choice and autonomy.
55 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 • vanguard.edu Graduate Education / Academic / Handbook – BH 01/06/22
Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template
Students will be able to choose words to put on board or circle in the poem.
Multiple Means of Action and Expression: Use multiple tools for construction and composition.
Students will highlight words in poem with different color on board. Students will use magnetic letters to build words.
2. Higher Order Thinking Strategies (Bloom’s, Depth of Knowledge, Hess’ Cognitive Matrix, G.A.T.E. Strategies,
Graphic Organizers, etc.). What three levels of Bloom’s will you address in this lesson to enhance the depth with
which your students will engage the lesson objective? At least one of them must be from one of the top three levels
of higher order thinking. (Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create) (TPE: 1.4, 4.4)
Understand: Student will identify target words in a poem and highlight them.
Apply: students will add, delete, and substitute consonants to create new words.
Evaluate: students will word sort Long “I” words into categories: igh, i_e
1. Formative Assessments: At least two formative assessments total, at least one with a rubric (copy or attach rubric to this
template) (TPE 1.8, 2.5, 5.1, 5.5)
Formative Assessment 1: Students will hold up their white boards to show teacher words. Teacher will scan room to see if
anyone is unclear how to spell vowel convention.
Formative Assessment 2: Students will fill out a worksheet exit ticket. It is an -ight See, Say, Spell, and Write worksheet,
using the the words “bright, fight, knight, fright, sight, and flight.” SEE ATTACHED RUBRIC

Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template
3. Self-Assessment: How will all students be involved in self-assessment and reflection on their learning goals and
progress? If working in teams, how will they peer-assess each other and the group? A rubric is required for the
students to use in either self-assessment or team assessment (TPE 1.5, 5.3)
Students will read word to each other and call out specific word for the other to circle. Student will let their partner know if
they read it wrong or circle wrong word.
2. Prior Teaching, Prior Student Knowledge from Assessments or Student Funds of Knowledge:
Remind students of previous word families we have learned.
3. Resources / Materials: What texts, digital resources and materials will be used in this lesson?
Poem, video, white boards, magnetic letters, sharpie.
4. Procedure: Provide a detailed procedure that includes estimated times and intended questions.
Lesson Explanation: How will the lesson objectives be explained to the students? How will you communicate how it relates to
prior learning? How will you communicate your expectations for learning and behavior? How will you establish a positive
and safe learning environment? (TPE 2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.6, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3)

“Does everyone have their letters “ight” ready? Ok! First word is fight. What sound did I add to -ight? And what
letter makes that sound? Great! Where do I add the F? Right, to the beginning. Fight spells fight, lets build it, and
write it. Next word is fright. What sound do you hear in fright? Where would we add that in our word? Great, adding
r after the f makes our word fright. Lets build it, and write it.”
Students will work with desk partner, using their white boards with “ight” words written on them. They will take
turns calling out a word and their partner has to circle the word they called. Once both boards are complete, with all
words circled. They will take turns reading all the words.
Open – I have a fun poem that introduces our new word family. I will read the poem, and when I am finished, raise
your hand if you think you can guess the word family we are learning!
Anticipatory Set: For engaging in initial problem solving and recruiting interest
Body –
The Seven Step Lesson Plan would suggest these stages: Teach and/or Model, Check for Understanding, Guided Practice,
Independent Practice (TPE 1.8)
Using above lesson, I will teach and model the vowel convention by reading poem, sharing video, and modeling letter
practice and writing on my white board. I will check for understanding while accepting answers from students about other
“igh” words, during the poem activity where students can circle “igh”, and during the magnetic letters and white board
exercise while students hold up their white boards to show me the answers. Their guided practice will be in groups as they
circle and read words to one another. Their exit ticket will be independently writing 5 “igh” words.

Next Steps: How will next steps be communicated to the students about continuing to learn this topic after the lesson?
We will continue to practice this word family this week in our centers, with different activities and games.
Part 6 – Reflection
TPE 3.4, 6.1, 6.5
After presenting the lesson in the classroom, review and reflect on student work related to the lesson
1. Include rubric data here:
See attached document.
Students had a successful mastery of the -ight reading and writing on their worksheets. 100% of students spelled the -ight
phoneme correctly within the context of the word.
b. Explain areas of unsuccessful achievement; and why each specific student was unsuccessful –
About half the students struggled with the successful spelling of one vocabulary word “knight” spelling it “night.” Today’s
lesson was the first time introducing this specific spelling and term, so we will revisit the difference between “knight” and
“night”.
3. How did learning deeply about your students’ assets and learning needs:
a. inform and/or shape your lesson plan for the whole class?
The class enjoys centers and collaboration activities, so the word game was perfect to motivate them to read the words
together, and the game encouraged them to read accurately.
4. Think about your teaching practice during the learning segment and what you learned from your analysis of multiple types
of assessment about your students’ understanding of content and/or ELD learning goal(s).
55 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 • vanguard.edu Graduate Education / Academic / Handbook – BH 01/06/22
Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template
The formative assessment was a great way to assess student’s understanding of the -ight word family, and correct use of
phonics and spelling. It showed me what letters, blends, or spelling pattern the students are struggling with.
The student self assessment was a great way for students to take ownership of, and be motivated during their partner work. It
made very clear to each student, especially my EL, and struggling students, the expectations of the activity.
a. What was most effective about your teaching or assessment in helping students achieve the content and/or ELD learning
goal(s) of the segment?
I think the most effective was using UDL through the poem, video, and manipulative letters, to give students multiple ways to
engage with the new word family.
b. b. What was less effective about your teaching or assessment? What do you want to set as an area for growth to increase
your effectiveness as a teacher? Explain why you have chosen this professional learning goal.
One instructional activity that I would change is calling out a word and spelling it out as a student spelled it to me. I think
I would use this time instead to walk around and assess how each student is spelling before I wrote the word on the white
board for all to see. This way, I can really see who is just copying, and who has really mastered spelling and the specific
spelling pattern being taught. I think that professionally, finding ways to have students work to figure it out, before
offering an answer helps them to connect and understand on a deeper level.
5. What instructional strategies were used to help students achieve the lesson objective? Which subject-specific pedagogical
skills were used to help students be successful? (reference TPE SSP 1-7 Part 2: Subject-Specific Pedagogy)
Part 2: Students engaged in adding/ substituting/ deletion of letters to create new words. Incorporated use of “secret stories” to
help students remember irregular spelling patterns.
a. Was your lesson plan sufficiently flexible to support all students’ learning, or did you need to incorporate specific
instructional, in-the-moment adaptations for particular students? Why or why not?
Plan was able to support and monitor all student learning because it included many different learning activities which
supported multiple means of engagement and learning, and opportunities to asses learning.
b. Did your instructional approach support learning for the whole class and for each of your focus students to achieve the
content-specific learning goal(s)?
Yes, my instructional approach supported learning for the whole class, though, I think that I could have had a learning target
for students who are at a higher level in EDL in order to challenge and engage them on a deeper level.
6. According to the data analysis, what changes could be made to the lesson and why? Please use specific examples
from your student samples or note other specific evidence.
More explicit teaching and use of vocabulary and common different spellings such as “knight” and “night.”
If you were to develop and teach this lesson again, what would you do the same or differently to improve deep learning of
content and academic language for the whole class of students and why?
55 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 • vanguard.edu Graduate Education / Academic / Handbook – BH 01/06/22
Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template
I would focus more on the difference of certain vocabulary terms that sound the same but have different meanings and
spellings. Also, I would include more higher learning opportunities.
7. What should be done next to teach the students who were not successful in grasping the lesson? Explain what
you would do next to advance the learning of the whole class of students. How could it be re-taught if given the
opportunity?
Review of the spelling pattern -ight, and the vocabulary words associated. In order to advance learning, I would
include an activity that gave students an opportunity to create their own sentences or built their own -ight words.
a. Do you need to reteach any part of the lesson? Explain why or why not.
The one part of the lesson that half the class struggled with is the spelling of “knight” spelling it “night.” I would review
the spelling difference and meaning of both words, giving students an opportunity to use both words in their context.
b. Based on what the whole class of students learned about the content you were teaching, what will you teach next?
I will have the students word sort and practice, all -ight, and -ite words to recognize the different spelling
patterns for the graphemes igh, i_e that represent the long “I”
8. Personal Reflection: What did you learn about yourself as a teacher, and how you want to teach in the future?
I learned that I really love researching and planning hands on learning activities that will engage the students.
My focus was on UDL and incorporating different elements that would engage all learning styles and grab the
attention of students. I really want to develop my ability to engage all learners and think through activities and
how to apply them to all students at different levels of academic understanding.
Allison read the words without error and with fluency. She misspelled “knight” which was a common mistake among the
students. Her printing was neat, and she had a self correction on “sight.” I encouraged her by praising her reading/spelling/
55 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 • vanguard.edu Graduate Education / Academic / Handbook – BH 01/06/22
Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template
and printing. I addressed the class as a whole about the spelling of “knight” and communicated that we would practice the
spelling, and that most of the class spelled “night” right, but wrong context.
Luke read the words fluently, spelled accurately, and his printing was neat and legible. I communicated to him that he spelled
“knight” right, which was a harder vocabulary word.
Jacob read the words fluently, and made the same “knight” spelling error many of the other students did. I encouraged him
that his printing is getting much easier to read, and that I can tell he has been practicing, and taking his time to print clearly.
