GCU Designing a Differentiated Lesson Plan

 

Educators must be able to design curriculum that is differentiated, standards-based, and measurable. Within that design they must be able to explain the content being taught, how it is delivered to students for mastery and success, and how mastery and success may look different for each student.

For this assignment, demonstrate your understanding of differentiation during the curriculum design process. Design a lesson for the students in your field experience classroom on a topic of your choice using the “COE Lesson Plan Template.” Include the use of at least one technology resource or tool for instruction, practice, or assessment.

Following the lesson creation, write a 500-750 word entry in your blog describing the following:

  • How you evaluated and choose instructional strategies to differentiate for and engage diverse students. Include how you planned for student readiness, interest, and learning style.
  • How you differentiated assessment to address the specific learning goals and individual or group differences. Describe how you would differentiate for ELL, special needs, gifted, and early finishers.
  • How technology is included or utilized within the lesson. Identify technology resources and curriculum materials to be used and describe how they were examined to determine appropriateness for individuals or the group of students.
