Week 6


Reflecting on this week, I see how much our knowledge is building upon itself. The LEARN module (though I am not anywhere near finishing it) has some similarities to our 6 Point Lesson Plans. It's interesting to see all of these different methods of creating lessons, and noticing the parts that are significant (given how they reappear in multiple different methods of planning). 

Knowing different methods of creating lesson plans will help us in the future (as we gain more knowledge of the different approaches people use), in that we can decide which parts will work from each one. I think that we will find many similarities in the different types of lesson plans, just different avenues that are taken to get to the end result. 

4b. Teachers plan instruction appropriate for their students.
4c. Teachers use a variety of instructional methods.

I believe these two standards fit in very well with our learning for these past two weeks. In order to be effective teachers, we must understand our students and know which styles of instruction/lessons will best motivate and help them learn!

  1. I am too seeing how the LEARN module and six point lesson plans tie into one another.

  2. I think that's the beauty of having a variety of instructional methods and lesson plans- yes, we have to learn how to effectively use each one, but once we have the basics, they pretty much flow into each other! I'm also starting to see why we need a variety of methods: we're expected to differentiate for our learners and just as we can't expect all learners to learn the same, we can't expect every lesson to be effectively delivered from one template!
