Differentiation
Often times you will have students that you
will need to include modifications for when
you are developing a lesson. In this section
you will need to explain how you could
modify your lesson to meet the needs of the
different children you are working with.
These modifications may apply to the lesson
development section, the practice/check for
understanding section, or both.
Assessment
(Practice/ Checking for
Understanding)
Students are given the opportunity to apply
what they have learned in a formal or
informal way. You will need to describe what
you will do to assess student learning. It can
be through guided practice and/or
independent practice. Guided practice allows
students to demonstrate their understanding of
the material while the teacher is present and
can provide needed assistance. Independent
practice might be group work, projects, or
homework.
Closing Here the ECE teacher/provider reviews the
highlights of the lesson and brings closure to
the activity.
