In Week 5, you developed a Science K–8 Instructional Plan to enlighten your students about environmental legislation and/or regulations in your local community. To evaluate the effectiveness of your planning, you will now implement your Instructional Plan, or a single lesson within the plan, with a small group or classroom of students. Your Instructional Plan may not fit directly with the curriculum you are teaching at this time, but implementation is crucial. If whole-class implementation is not feasible at this point, consider ways to implement the plan during recess, at lunch, or before or after school. If you are not currently teaching, you may complete this Assignment by working with any small group of school-age children. During your implementation, pay attention to how students respond to and engage in the lesson. Note what is working well and what changes you might make next time. Write a 2- to 3-page reflection on the lesson implementation. You should use this reflection statement to provide evidence that you know how to promote student learning and can demonstrate how the analysis of data helped you to improve the classroom learning experience for all students. The reflection statement should also demonstrate your ability to provide multiple approaches to ensure that diverse learning needs are met. The reflection statement is not focused on the extent to which the lesson was successful, but on your ability to apply your knowledge and skills to lesson planning, implementation, and data analysis, and to make adjustments for improvement. Your reflection should include the following: Strengths and Needed Improvements: Identify your own strengths and areas of needed improvements. What worked, and what could be improved in your instructional planning, implementation, data analysis, and/or instructional adjustments? Think about how the lesson went. What surprises, questions, dilemmas, or problems did you encounter? How well did the students achieve the objectives? Equitable Experiences for Diverse Learners: Consider the group of students you worked with from diverse populations (students of low socioeconomic status, of an ethnic/racial minority, with a disability or exceptionality, or English language learners). How did you foster student engagement and motivation and encourage dispositions such as curiosity, tolerance, fairness, respect for diversity, and respect for individual differences? What challenges and opportunities did you find in using differentiated and scaffolding instruction to improve student success? Promoting Social Change: How has this experience influenced your desire and ability to promote social change and make a difference in your school and/or community? How are you more prepared to advocate for social initiatives and use the support of colleagues, administrators, families, and community resources to support you and your students in these efforts?
