The ability to plan cross-curricular lessons and utilize teaching strategies and assessments that can meet the diverse needs of learners in the inclusive classroom is an important skill for special education teachers. Additionally, knowledge of how to utilize assistive technology to assist language development and communication skills and support he varied needs of students as part of instruction and assessment can also help them reach their full potential as they move toward achieving mastery of specific learning objectives and goals.
Scenario:
Imagine you are the classroom teacher for the following students:
Three students with specific learning disabilities in the area of reading
One student who has been diagnosed with ASD
Two students who have emotional and behavioral disorders that affect their academics in all areas
Two students with mild intellectual disabilities
One student who is speech and language impaired and is struggling with reading
One student who was retained and is repeating fifth grade
One new student whose records have not yet arrived, but who reports that this year is his second time in fifth grade
All of your students are decoding and comprehending at a second to third grade reading level. All attend general education classes for at least part of the day. Ten of the 11 students show an interest in science and nonfiction texts, while one female student adores princesses and detests all the topics the other students enjoy.
Review Appendix B of the Common Core Standards and select a fifth grade exemplar informational text focused on science.
Using the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” create a cross-curricular science and ELA lesson plan designed to meet the diverse needs of the students in your class. The lesson should align to fifth grade science and ELA standards. When designing the lesson, formulate an outcome that encompasses both of the selected standards and identify how you will assess the outcome. On the lesson plan, the following should be clearly identified:
Fifth grade exemplar informational text that is focused on science and is the subject of the lesson
Common Core Standard or other state standards specific to science and ELA
High and/or low-tech assistive technology that can be utilized during instruction or as part of the lesson’s summative assessment to enhance language development and communication skills
In the “Rationale/Reflections” section of the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” write a 250-500 word rationale that addresses the following:
Explain how you selected the standards and brought them together to formulate the lesson outcome.
Explain your instructional choices by discussing how the lesson helps students develop skills in both science and ELA and helps them work on mastering the identified standards.
Justify the formative and summative assessments you will use in the lesson by explaining how they assess the lesson outcome.
Explain how you will provide students with disabilities feedback on their formative assessments to help them prepare for summative assessments related to the lesson.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Instructional Plan Title:
Lesson Summary and Focus:
In 2-3 sentences, summarize the lesson, identifying the central focus based on the content and skills you are teaching.
Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping:
Describe the important classroom factors (demographics and environment) and student factors (IEPs, 504s, ELLs, students with behavior concerns, gifted learners), and the effect of those factors on planning, teaching, and assessing students to facilitate learning for all students. This should be limited to 2-3 sentences and the information should inform the differentiation components of the lesson.
National/State Learning Standards:
Review national and state standards to become familiar with the standards you will be working with in the classroom environment.
Your goal in this section is to identify the standards that are the focus of the lesson being presented. Standards must address learning initiatives from one or more content areas, as well as align with the lesson’s learning targets/objectives and assessments.
Include the standards with the performance indicators and the standard language in its entirety.
Specific Learning Target(s)/Objectives:
Learning objectives are designed to identify what the teacher intends to measure in learning. These must be aligned with the standards. When creating objectives, a learner must consider the following:
·
Who is the audience
·
What action verb will be measured during instruction/assessment
·
What tools or conditions are being used to meet the learning
What is being assessed in the lesson must align directly to the objective created. This should not be a summary of the lesson, but a measurable statement demonstrating what the student will be assessed on at the completion of the lesson. For instance, “understand” is not measureable, but “describe” and “identify” are.
For example:
Given an unlabeled map outlining the 50 states, students will accurately label all state names.
Academic Language
In this section, include a bulleted list of the general academic vocabulary and content-specific vocabulary you need to teach. In a few sentences, describe how you will teach students those terms in the lesson.
Resources, Materials, Equipment, and Technology:
List all resources, materials, equipment, and technology you and the students will use during the lesson. As required by your instructor, add or attach copies of ALL printed and online materials at the end of this template. Include links needed for online resources.
