 * // “Michelle was prepared with the lesson explicitly planned.” //

// “The lesson plan was well developed and contained the key features necessary to the success of any teaching situation. Included were the GLCE’s, objectives, an anticipatory set, materials needed, procedures, plan for closure and assessment.” //

I have had experience writing and implementing ten week unit plans for science and social studies content (English language arts was incorporated in both units). I learned that it was necessary to change lesson plans based on ongoing analysis of student learning. At times I would spend more time than I had initially planned on specific lessons because I could observe that students needed more time to fully understand the content. I have also had the opportunity to collaboratively, with two other peers, plan out two weeks of lessons for a seventh grade general education classroom. These lessons were for science, math, and social studies with English language arts incorporated into the instruction. We were then given the opportunity to teach the classroom for these two weeks; some lessons were individually taught and some involved co-teaching. Below are just a few samples of the many lesson plans I have completed.
