Throughout the course, you have been demonstrating your understanding of differentiation and lesson planning for children with mild and moderate disabilities through the design of lesson plans in various content areas. For the Final Project, you will demonstrate competency in planning instruction for students with mild and moderate disabilities by developing a lesson plan portfolio that you can use and share with other colleagues, for work interviews, or for personal use.
Your Lesson Plan Portfolio will consist of the five complete, original lesson plans that you designed throughout this course. Each week, you received feedback from your instructor, and possibly from your peers, to continuously improve your differentiated lesson plans for children. Below there is a description of each part of the portfolio that you will submit this week as your Final Project.
Part 1: Introduction to your portfolio
Provide an introductory paragraph that explains the purpose of your portfolio and the competency you are demonstrating through your five lesson plans.
Part 2: Lesson plan portfolio
Use the feedback you received each week, along with what you have learned throughout the course, to revise each of the five lesson plans to ensure each component sufficiently addresses the required areas (below). Combine the lesson plans into one document to present your revised five lesson plans that reflect your competency in this area. Remember, each plan needs to specifically reflect the use of effective strategies for students with disabilities that are cited within the lesson plan. Although the Internet is a rich source of free materials and teaching suggestions, the entire plan within this portfolio MUST BE YOUR OWN ORIGINAL CREATION.
The following components are required in each of the five lesson plans:
Part 3: Reflection
Imagine that you are applying for a job where you need to demonstrate competency in planning educational experiences for learners with disabilities. Using your lesson plan portfolio as evidence, write a one- to two-page rationale for how your portfolio demonstrates your strength and competency in this area. Use specific examples from your portfolio to justify your rationale.
Part 4: References
Provide a reference page that cites all sources used in the development of your portfolio, including all sources that were cited in each lesson plan.
Your portfolio should be approximately 16 to 27 pages in length (not including the title and reference pages). At least one to two peer-reviewed sources, which may include the textbook for this course, should be used and cited in each lesson plan (for a total of 5-10 sources). APA format must be used throughout the paper for in-text citations and references.
