UNIT AND LESSON PLAN ANALYSIS

CURRENT UNIT/LESSON PLANNING

When comparing my planner with the UDL format I find lots of differences that make me reflect about the chances that I might be missing as a teacher to create a lesson that is really effective to all students. With the current format I am only focusing on the activity and the main goal of it but I am not anticipating possible needs of students.

The only similarity that I find is that in my current format I leave the space for observations, where I usually write what I found positive or negative and that I would change for the next time. It gives me the possibility to self reflect on how the activity went and what modifications I can do for it to work better in the groups I am going to applied it. However it is to vague and the UDL format will structure this reflexion even more.

Another difference is that I don´t discriminate my actions vs the students actions this would give a good inside of how would I and the activity guide the students to take the skill and use it.

The potential barrier which a good analysis to make before the class so you can come up with ideas that might eliminated and avoid wasting the time during the class trying to overcome it and improvise.

Finally how the UDL planner analysis the multiple means of engagement of representation, engagement and expression which is the main way to be able to plan and execute an effective learning experience.

Even though my classes are a different because they work on skills rather than knowledge or concepts I can still modify my planner to maximize my classes.

EVALUATION OF UNIT PLAN AND LEARNING GOALS

Learning goals for a Grade 1 Unit: Exploring Animal Habitats Enduring Understanding: There is no EU stated the big idea is just a topic without a clear purpose In the lasts weeks there are some goals that start to appear to be the enduring understanding, this shows that the whole unit was not planned according to the main goal and so the lessons will not take the students to it.

LEARNING ASSESSMENT

CURRENT END OF UNIT ASSESSMENT For this exercise I selected the Handwriting Class with Kindergarten, the Unit we are currently working on is Lowercase Letters, the unit is focused on: Letter formation Sizing Alignment Letter recognition The current End of the Unit Assessment I am using is: 1. Students receive a worksheet that have the spaces for the 26 letters of the alphabet, they are asked to write their name and last name, then write the lowercase letters on the alphabetical order, and finally to write a short sentence created by them about a topic for example what are they going to do on holidays. 2. I review the handwriting portfolios that they have worked in other classes. 3. I ask for the homeroom teacher and the Spanish teacher´s feedback about the student´s performance in the writing tasks, and how they have seen progress or not in the student. 4. I review the exercises done during the classes. JOURNAL REFLECTION Effective Teaching Reflection: In our gr...
