Grade Level: 12 ( Student is a person supported in the community and is of adult age)
Skill: Pedestrian Safety Skills
Date: 4/3/2023
Time: 1:30 P.M

Reflection from prior lesson


● After completing a pedestrian safety skills assessment it was determined that VW was not sufficient in
all areas of pedestrian safety in order to walk unsupervised in the community, due to the assessment
results we have been going over pedestrian safety skills in the classroom. During previous lessons on
introducing traffic signals, I observed her struggling with identifying traffic signs. While some of her
peers are able to identify all traffic signs, she struggles with this skill. I have previously collected data
from the pedestrian safety skills assessment given on 2/8/2023 and a previous lesson on 3/24/23, and
3/29/2023 and they all indicate that she needs to strengthen her pedestrian safety skills in the areas of
being able to identify traffic/pedestrian signs. To address VW’s learning needs I will implement the
following possible solutions:

Provide her with additional support: I will provide support to VW during lessons by segmenting the
lesson into smaller parts.

Use Positive reinforcement: I will use positive reinforcement to encourage VW’s engagement with the
task within the lesson and her efforts to identify traffic signs. I will provide VW with specific and frequent
praise for her attempts. Phrases such as “ Way to go, VW! You’re really doing a great job!”

Implement behavior support strategies:

I will be providing VW with opportunities for breaks as needed to help her stay on task and help her to
maintain focus while she is working on the task.

By implementing these possible solutions, I hope to better support VW’s learning needs. I will continue
to collect data on her progress regarding her pedestrian safety skills and will adjust my instruction and
support strategies as needed for her academic/skills success.

Contextual Factors/ Learner Characteristics


● If the student is not feeling up to completing a task, it will take numerous redirections from the teacher
to keep the students on task.
● The student is able to vocalize their wants, needs and or dislikes.
● Once a routine is established, the students are good with following it.
● VW likes music and movies.
● VW can be very sociable if she is around people that she is comfortable with, however she is usually
quiet in social settings.
● VW has type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and depression.
● There are no behavior concerns, on an occasional basis the student will exhibit refusal behaviors.
Refusal behavior occurs when the student is especially tired.
● VW will make noises when she is excited, and may scream.
● VW cries when she is frustrated.
● When VW becomes frustrated, teachers should give her a break. She likes to color so giving her a
coloring sheet color would assist in calming VW down, and will also encourage her to keep going
forward.

Lesson Goal(s) / Standards

● VW will increase her traffic sign knowledge and will identify them correctly.

Lesson Objective(s)
● When shown a pedestrian safety sign, the student will correctly identify the sign and will list off
what is expected out of them as a pedestrian when they see that sign in 10/10 opportunities.

Generalization Goal(s)
● To Increase VW’s knowledge of traffic signs to where she can independently identify them. Upon
completing this lesson, and mastering the skills of identifying traffic signs, she will be able to
independently identify traffic signs while out in the community. By being able to identify traffic signs
while out in the community, this will help keep her safe while being a pedestrian. The goal for this
lesson is to teach the student traffic signs to aid in her understanding of what each sign means and
what is expected from her as a pedestrian when that sign is being utilized. It is important to address
these signs because they are needed in order for VW to be a safe pedestrian.

Assessment- (the assessment should directly measure the objective)


● Teacher Observation:I will be looking to see if the student is able to correctly identify the traffic signs
that they are given throughout the lesson.
Classroom Discussion: Student and I will be discussing the traffic signs, and when they are used. We
will be discussing the ways that traffic signs keep us safe.
Traffic Sign Identifcation Assessment.
VW Traffic Sign Assessment

Data is also located up at the top.


Other professionals that will be involved on this student’s team and educational plan consist of their
case manager, other special education teachers, and the paraprofessionals that work with this student.
Consultation and collaboration should be with VW’s case manager and all individuals on her IEP team
to determine where she is regarding her pedestrian skills and if there are any other areas that need to
be addressed.

Materials Needed

● Two sets of laminated pictures of traffic signs.


● Names of traffic signs
● Construction Paper
● Scissors
● Glue and or tape.
● No computers are needed for this lesson plan.
Connection(s) to Research & Theory (what learning theory or research-based method supports your chosen
methodology or assessment?) Structured teaching. Involving creating a predictable, organized learning
environment for VW so it will help her feel more secure and will allow her to learn more effectively.

A. The Lesson

● Introduction (10 minutes)


○ getting attention: Good morning VW! Tanyan Yahi! Do you remember what that means? It means
that I am so glad that you are here with me today. If you are ready to learn, give me two high fives!

○ relating to past experience and/or knowledge: We have been going over pedestrian safety, and
reviewing traffic signs. We have been discussing when the traffic signs are used and what we need
to do when we see them. We are going to learn about traffic signs and how they can keep us safe.
Our “I can” statement is “I can be a safe pedestrian.” We know from last week that we know what a
stop sign is, so we will be focusing on the other signs that we weren’t able to identify.

○ creating a need to know: Today we are going to match, name and construct the signs that we are
learning about. Today we will be learning what these signs mean, and when the signs are used and
how they keep us safe.

○ sharing objective, in general terms: Today we are going to learn traffic signs so we can be safe
pedestrians.

● Content Delivery ( 30 minutes)


● Constant time delay.
Give attentional cue:
Okay, VW. Please look at this traffic sign.

Wait for attentional response:


VW looks at this traffic sign.

Delivers task direction.


We are going to match the traffic signs with their right labels. After matching the signs with their right labels,
we are going to cut out the shapes of the signs with construction paper and make our own copy of the sign.

This is when the teacher would wait for a response from the task direction. This is not VW’s first time going
over traffic signs, however it is the first time the teacher is implementing the CTD procedure. This would
indicate that there is a 0 second delay, however with the task direction it will take time for her to complete it.

The controlling prompt would be provided from the teacher. The controlling prompt would be “ Tell me what
sign this label is for, VW”and after completing the constructed sign she mad it would be “ Tell me what sign this
is VW”
The step after this would be to provide consequences.

If VW answers correctly, the reinforcement would be “Great job at identifying this sign VW”. The correction if
needed would be “ This is a pedestrian crossing sign, VW.”

Record Data.
An assessment sheet is included here to show how we will be recording data.

Provide information relating to the traffic sign and when they are used. Provide information as to how they can
keep us safe as pedestrians. Information will be typed out and put out for the day for the assessor.
We will then repeat but with another sign.

We will then repeat but with another sign.

We would end the lesson here, as we are primarily focusing on the three signs that she is struggling to identify.

● Closure (Five minutes)

Today we learned about traffic signs/traffic signals and when they are used. We are working towards being
able to identify traffic signs.
B. Generalization/Maintenance Overall Plan (we will begin completing this part of the plan during the
Week 10: Chapters 9 and 10 in the Systematic Instruction textbook) you will put a link to them here.
They will only need to be completed once. In future lessons you can provide a link to the plan and
include a statement on how the current lesson assists with the overall generalization plan.

Chapter 9 Chapter 10

Materials that will be used to help promote generalization will consist of the following:
Laminated pictures of traffic signs.
Videos of traffic signs.

The environments that this student will be able to practice the skill of identifying traffic signs consist of the
following:
Resource room.
Home with siblings.
Family environment such as siblings house.
The community.

These environments will be incorporated into lessons as the environmental setting, as we want VW to be able
to successfully be able to identify traffic signs before going out in the community. We will complete lessons with
her at school, and will encourage the family to complete the very same lesson wit her at home so VW will have
generalization across people and environments as well.
VW will practice this skill with me, other special education teachers, her case manager, paraprofessionals, and
family members as well. If it takes VW three weeks to master this skill, she will be practicing with me one day,
another teacher the next, and so forth. The person she is working with will change. We will provide the
materials to bring home with her so she can practice with her siblings, and which will include sending home
any video links and or emailing videos to family.
Once VW has mastered this skill, the plan for maintenance is to provide her with ample opportunities to use
this skill, and while she is doing so we will reassess her. Once mastery is accomplished, we will reassess her
the following weeks:
One week after mastery.
Three weeks after mastery.
Six weeks after mastery.
Eight weeks after mastery.

Assessments will be done quarterly to ensure that skill retention is present.

Again, we will continue to provide VW with opportunities to identify traffic signs.


Data will be collected on the data sheet that I included above.
Data will be collected one week after VW has mastered this skill, three weeks after mastery, six weeks after
mastery, eight weeks after mastery. From that point forward, data will be collected quarterly.

Connections to Research/Theory Examples:

1. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA): ABA is a research-based intervention that focuses on modifying behavior
through the use of reinforcement techniques. There are several models that fit under ABA;
2. Task Analysis: Task analysis involves breaking down complex skills into smaller, more manageable steps. This
method helps students with severe disabilities to acquire new skills and perform tasks independently.
3. Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS): PECS is a communication system that uses pictures and
symbols to help students with severe disabilities communicate their wants and needs.
4. Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC): AAC is an approach that involves the use of
communication devices and technologies to support communication for individuals with severe disabilities.
5. Multi-Sensory Instruction: Multi-sensory instruction involves engaging multiple senses in the learning process
to help students with severe disabilities better retain information and skills.
6. Peer-Mediated Instruction: This approach involves teaching peers how to support students with severe
disabilities in the classroom, promoting socialization and inclusion.
7. Structured Teaching: Structured teaching involves creating a predictable, organized learning environment that
can help students with severe disabilities feel more secure and learn more effectively.
8. Positive Behavior Support: Positive behavior support involves developing strategies to prevent and address
challenging behaviors while reinforcing positive behaviors.
9. Errorless Learning: Systematic instruction using response-prompting procedures that results in less incorrect
responses by learners because the opportunity to make errors is minimized by providing the level of assistance
needed to make correct responses.
10. Differentiated Instruction: Differentiated instruction involves adapting instruction to meet the diverse needs of
students with severe disabilities and individualizing instruction to better support learning.
11. Universal Design for Learning (UDL): UDL is an approach that focuses on creating inclusive learning
environments by providing multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement.
12. Video Modeling: This is an intervention strategy that involves watching videos of desired behaviors to help
individuals with severe disabilities learn new skills and behaviors.
13. Social Stories: This is a narrative intervention strategy that provides individuals with severe disabilities with a
description of a social situation and appropriate social behavior to facilitate their social understanding and skill
development.
14. Self-Management: This is an approach that teaches individuals to monitor and manage their own behavior
through the use of self-monitoring and self-reinforcement strategies.
15. Incidental Teaching: This is an approach that involves taking advantage of naturally occurring opportunities to
teach new skills or behaviors.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific and evidence-based approach to understanding and changing behavior.
There are several methodologies that fall under ABA. Here are just a few, but many above also fall under the ABA:

1. Discrete Trial Training (DTT): This is a structured and systematic approach to teaching new skills by breaking
them down into small, manageable parts and providing immediate reinforcement for correct responses.
2. Naturalistic Teaching: This is an approach that incorporates learning opportunities into everyday routines and
activities, capitalizing on the individual's interests and motivation.
3. Functional Communication Training (FCT): This is a strategy that aims to teach appropriate communication
skills to replace maladaptive or challenging behaviors.
4. Positive Behavior Support (PBS): This is a proactive and holistic approach to managing behavior that focuses
on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of challenging behavior.
5. Precision Teaching: This is an approach that involves frequent and repeated measurement of behavior to track
progress and adjust interventions as needed.
6. Verbal Behavior (VB): This is an approach that focuses on the functional communication of language, including
the use of language to request, label, and engage in social interactions.
7. Pivotal Response Training (PRT): This is an approach that focuses on teaching pivotal behaviors that are critical
for learning other skills, such as motivation, self-management, and social communication.

Generalization Considerations:

A quality special education generalization plan should be included as a component of every lesson plan for

students with disabilities. The following are components of a quality special education generalization plan:

Generalization objective: A clear and specific statement of what the student is expected to learn or be able
to do beyond the specific lesson, such as transferring the skill to new settings or activities.

Materials and activities for generalization: Specific activities and materials that will be used to help the
student transfer the skill or concept to other settings or activities.

Instructional strategies for generalization: Specific strategies that will be used to help the student
generalize the skill or concept, such as modeling, prompting, and fading.

Opportunities for practice: Opportunities for the student to practice the skill or concept in a variety of
settings and activities, including those that are less structured or less familiar.

Data collection: A plan for collecting data on the student's progress in generalizing the skill or concept,
including what data will be collected, how often, and by whom.

Evaluation and modification: A plan for regularly evaluating the effectiveness of the generalization plan
and modifying it as needed based on data and feedback from the student, family, and other stakeholders.

Collaboration and communication: A plan for collaborating with other professionals involved in the
student's education and communicating with the student's family and other stakeholders about the
generalization plan and progress.
Reinforcement and feedback: A plan for providing positive reinforcement and feedback to the student for
generalizing the skill or concept, including specific strategies for providing feedback and reinforcement in
different settings and activities.

By including these components in a special education generalization plan, educators can help students with

disabilities transfer their learning to new settings and activities and promote their long-term success.

Reflection from past lesson example:


During the previous lesson on writing names, I observed Sandi was struggling to write
her name with correct letter formation and orientation. While the other students were
able to write their names with ease, Sandi was having difficulty with this skill. I
collected data on her performance using a pre-assessment and a formative
assessment during the lesson. The data indicated that Sandi was only able to write
her name with 20% accuracy, which is significantly lower than the rest of the class.

In addition to struggling with writing her name, Sandi was also displaying some
challenging behaviors during the lesson. She was becoming frustrated and exhibiting
avoidance behaviors, such as turning away from the task and refusing to engage with
the materials.

To address Sandi's learning needs and behavior concerns, I will implement the
following possible solutions:

Provide additional support: I will provide additional support to Sandi during the lesson
by breaking down the task into smaller, more manageable parts, such as practicing
writing each letter separately before putting them together to write her name. I will
also provide Sandi with visual cues and prompts to help her remember the correct
formation and orientation of each letter.

Use positive reinforcement: I will use positive reinforcement to encourage Sandi's


engagement with the task and her efforts to write her name. I will provide specific and
frequent praise for her attempts, such as saying "Great job, Sandi! You're really trying
your best to write your name."

Implement behavior support strategies: I will implement behavior support strategies,


such as a visual schedule or a sensory tool, to help Sandi regulate her emotions and
remain engaged with the task. I will also provide opportunities for sensory breaks or
movement breaks as needed to help Sandi regulate her behavior and maintain focus.

Collaborate with parents: I will communicate with Sandi's parents to share her
progress and discuss strategies that can be used at home to support her learning and
behavior.

By implementing these possible solutions, I hope to better support Sandi's learning


needs and behavior concerns. I will continue to collect data on her progress and
adjust my instruction and behavior support strategies as needed.

Example 2:

During today's lesson on introducing fractions, I observed Sarah was struggling to


understand the concept of fractions. While her grade level peers are able to identify and
name fractions using visual models, Sarah was having difficulty with this skill. I collected
data on her performance using a pre-assessment and a formative assessment during the
lesson. The data indicated that Sarah was only able to identify and name fractions with 30%
accuracy, which is significantly lower than her peers.

To address Sarah's learning needs, I will implement the following possible solutions:

1. Provide additional support: I will provide additional support to Sarah during the lesson
by using visual aids, providing more examples, and checking for understanding more
frequently.
2. Adapt the lesson: I will adapt the lesson by using simpler visual models and providing
more scaffolding to help Sarah understand the concept.
3. Break the skill down: I will break the skill of identifying and naming fractions down into
smaller, more manageable parts, such as identifying the numerator and denominator
separately, before asking Sarah to put them together to name the fraction.
4. Use peer support: I will pair Sarah with a peer who has demonstrated strong
understanding of fractions and ask them to work together on a task that involves
identifying and naming fractions using visual models.

By implementing these possible solutions, I hope to better support Sarah's learning needs
and help her achieve success in understanding the concept of fractions. I will continue to
collect data on her progress and adjust my instruction as needed.
