Teaching and Learning Sequence

Day 1

Prep

Make sure the projector works and connects to my laptop. Also print off extra copies
of the notes for those who fall behind, or need them because of their
accommodations.

Opening

Students will walk in and take their seats.Go over attendance and tell them the plan.
“So students, today’s plan is we are going to be taking notes today. Go grab your
Reference Book and lets get this started.”(5 minutes)

Body

Teacher will go over notes on the board while the students write down the notes into
their reference book..(35 minutes).

End

“Alright students its time to pack up. For those who need more time to write them
down you will have to come in on your free time to finish them. All of you have a
good day.” Students will clean around their desk then head out. (5 minutes).
Meeting students’ needs (differentiation, extensions, modifications, accommodations)

● Students can use a computer to use as a calculator.

● Calculator is to check your answer
● If the student is out or struggling with the assignment, they can request for more
time.
● Students can ask for a printed copy if they either write slowly or need more time.
Also if they need it for one of their accommodations.

Reflection:

I think the lesson went really well. For the most part everyone finished the notes on
time without any problems. The ones who didn’t finish can just come in during their
learning lab to finish. What I would do differently would be letting students move to
spots where they can write the notes, or print off more copies of the assignment.

Standard: 1#Learner Development. The teacher understands how students learn and
develop, recognizing that patterns of learning and development vary individually within
and across the cognitive, linguistic, social,emotional,and physical areas, and designs,
and implements developmentally appropriate and challenging learning experiences.

Indicator: 1.b. Creates developmentally appropriate instruction that takes into account
individual learners’ strengths, interests and needs that enable each learner to advance
and accelerate his/her learning.

Rationale I will understand how each individual student has their own strengths
through cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical skills through learning
which will help me develop appropriate lessons.

Standard 8# Instructional Strategies. The teacher understands and uses a variety of

instructional strategies to encourage learners to develop deep understanding of
content areas and their connections, and to build skills to access and appropriately
apply information.

Indicator:8.a. Uses appropriate strategies and resources to adapt instruction to the

needs of individuals and groups of learners.
Rationale- I will understand and use a variety of instructional strategies to build and
apply the needs for either individuals and group learning for the appropriate content
area.
