InTASC Model Core Teaching Standard #2: Learning Differences
The teacher uses understanding of individual differences and diverse cultures and communities to ensure inclusive learning environments that enable each learner to meet high standards.
December 2015
The following lesson plan for EDU 387 Teaching the Exceptional Child in the Regular Classroom is a UDL/Differentiation lesson plan. My goal with this English Language Arts lesson was to utilize the backwards planning process (outcome, evidence, instructional plan) to create a fun and engaging lesson where the second-grade students would read and experience different cultures through a variety of different versions of the famous folk tale book, Stone Soup.
Students would work on essential ELA skills such as asking, answering, and writing who, what, where, why, when, and how questions about the stories, and making comparisons between the different cultures that told the same story. Students would also work on craft and structure ELA skills by acknowledging different points of views from the characters, different settings explained by the author, and to understand and explain the morals of the folk tales. I also included individual accommodations for children with ADHD and how to make sure that my classroom is a least restrictive learning environment.
