● The student was observed in February regarding pedestrian safety skills. It was then that it was
determined that VW was not sufficient in the skill of picking weather appropriate clothing, indicating that
she needs to strengthen her pedestrian safety skills in the areas of being able to identify weather
appropriate clothing. To address VW’s learning needs I will implement the following:
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 weather appropriate clothing. 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!”
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.
Assessment Data:
Assessment Data
● VW will increase her pedestrian safety skills by choosing weather appropriate clothing.
Lesson Objective(s)
● When given weather specific scenarios, the student will correctly pick weather appropriate
clothing she will need to walk in that weather in 10/10 opportunities.
Generalization Goal(s)
● To increase VW’s knowledge of what clothing is appropriate for weather specific days. Upon completing
this lesson, and mastering the skills of being able to identify weather appropriate clothing, she will be
able to independently pick out clothing for when she goes and walks out in the community. By being
able to identify weather appropriate clothing, this will help keep her safe while being a pedestrian. The
goal for this lesson is to teach the student what clothing is appropriate for weather specific days so she
is ensuring that she provides herself the proper clothing that will help protect her from weather related
injuries. It is important to address this because VW may walk in the winter, or in the rain, or in the heat
and she needs to know what clothing is appropriate.
Materials Needed
● Sets of laminated weather examples (pictures of winter, pictures of rain, pictures of a hot summer day)
● Sets of laminated clothing example (pants, shorts, sweaters, jacket, gloves, dresses)
.
● 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
○ relating to past experience and/or knowledge: We have been going over pedestrian safety, and
learning how to be a safe pedestrian. We will now learn how choosing weather appropriate clothes
will help us become a safer pedestrian.. Our “I can” statement is “I can be a safe pedestrian.”
○ creating a need to know: Today we are identify weather appropriate clothing for specific weather
situations. We will learn what clothes we can wear when it snows, when it rains, and when it is hot
outside.
○ sharing objective, in general terms: Today we are going to learn weather appropriate clothing so
we can be safe pedestrians.
This is when the teacher would wait for a response from the task direction. This is VW’s first time going over
weather appropriate clothing. 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
type of clothes we should wear on a day like this, VW”
The step after this would be to provide consequences.
If VW answers correctly, the reinforcement would be “Great job at identifying the appropriate clothing VW”. The
correction if needed would be “ This is what clothing we should wear, VW.”
Record Data.
An assessment sheet is included here to show how we will be recording data.
Provide information relating to the specified example of weather and what should be worn on days like so.
Provide information as to how the clothes we choose can help 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 picture of a weather specific example.

appropriate clothing can help keep us safe as pedestrians. Information will be typed out and put out for the day
for the assessor.
We would end the lesson here, as we are primarily focusing on three weather specific situations to begin with,
rain, snow, and overly hot days.
● Closure (Five minutes)
Today we learned about weather appropriate clothing and how we determine what we wear. We are working
towards being able to identify weather appropriate clothing.
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 weather specific examples
Videos of weather specific examples
Laminated pictures of clothing examples
Videos of people and the clothing they wear in specific weather situations.
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 weather appropriate clothing 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 with 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.
Real-time opportunities will be provided to the student, as she will be asked to determine what to wear on
weather specific days like those mentioned in the lessons.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
