PLP-ADJUSTED CURRICULUM

Program of Study: Grade 6

Start Date: December 5th, 2023.

End Date: June 23rd, 2024

Course: English

Teacher: Lauren Wood, and Jonah Nice

Present Level of Performance PLOP: A2

Student’s current level of performance: (A2)

- John tends to speak in too high of a volume.

- John tends to speak to fast.

Strand/Topic: Interactions

As John tends to speak too loud and fast in class, the teacher has a plan to help this student achieve
the following goals through social collaboration and social interaction.

Goal (GCO): Expression:

By the end of the term, John will speak with an appropriate speed and volume level in the classroom.

SCO: Keep + Add+ Change Description of Changed Outcome:

Describe and contribute
thoughts, feelings, and
experiences and compare to
those of their peers.
SCO:
Express, observe
understanding viewpoints and
perspectives
Describe and contribute thoughts, feelings, and
experiences at an appropriate low audible level for the
classroom.
Keep + Add Description:
Express observations, understandings, viewpoints, and
perspectives at an appropriate speed so that it is
audible for others in the classroom. (Teacher and
student.)

 PLP-INDIVIDUALIZED

Start Date: December 5, 2023

End Date: June 23, 2024

Individualized Domain Cognitive, social- communicative

Summary of Methods and Materials: -Technology to monitor noise levels in the class.
-Sound cards

Process (how will you do it): Before every class, the teacher greets John and
the students with the sound cards to practice and
introduce new sounds. (As part of the classroom
routine)

Timeline (how long for): One semester- (December to June)- *to be revised
at the end of the semester.

Technology for the classroom tools being used for

Materials: volume, and visual sound cards.

Person Responsible: Classroom teacher and resource to implement and continue the plan.

Present Level of Performance:

- A2
- John tends to speak in too high of a volume.
- John tends to speak to fast.

Goal

The overall goal is for John to feel comfortable in the classroom environment (Policy 322) while
achieving his personal goals of speaking at an appropriate classroom level and speed.

With the help of the MKO, they can have a tool for the entire class they can use to not single John out,
that will provide a visual for the class of noise volume. (This can provide John with a visual instead of
needing to use more advanced communicative skills.) As he has deficits in nonverbal communicative
behaviors related to social interaction, eye contact, body language and deficits in the use of gestures.
(The MKO will focus on visuals to help improve John’s struggles.)

The MKO will initially explain the online system for noise levels to the students, so they are
understanding how it works.

The MKO will model this for John throughout their lessons with him and the other students. It will be
modelled through using a technology app on the projector that will always be displayed on the board.
This will be modelled through social collaboration in discussion-based learning during instruction.
Students will model this along with the teacher for John and it will continue to be reinforced while it
is John’s turn to speak.

Through positive reinforcement, at the end of the week, the class will win a prize for appropriately
contributing and staying within the noise limits in the classroom. John will receive a special prize of
stickers for achieving his goals of appropriate volume level while speaking throughout the week.

Using weekly check-ins, it provides the teacher with a measurable and attainable time frame to help
the student adjust and improve accordingly.

The progress reports (halfway through the term) will let the classroom teacher know if the plan needs
to be adjusted or changed.

Outcome
Outcome Statements:

1. By the end of the first term, John will be
able to speak at an appropriate classroom
level without needing to be reminded by
the classroom teacher.
The teacher and students support John to make
sure he is comfortable and achieving his goal or
speaking at an appropriate level in the classroom.
Through interviews and one-on-one interactions
with John before and after class, the teacher can
work on adding new sounds and vocabulary for
John to work on with them during these times of
the day.

The MKO will focus on visuals to help improve

John’s struggles.

2. By the end of the semester, John will
continue to use visuals to help him speak
at a lower volume in the classroom.
At each entry into the class, the teacher will use
new sounds as a way to implement speed and
volume retention to the students’ speech.
As part of his attendance, and class culture, he
has to sound out a sound to the teacher every
class.

Overtime, the teacher can add a new sound to

the entry sounds to help expand the students
sound vocabulary.

3
The teacher will have a conversation bi-weekly
with the student where they will count up to 2 to
3 syllables per second during the conversation to
accurately measure his level of speech.

This plan implements Policy 322 5.1 in respect,

and engagement with a positive, collaborative
classroom environment.
