SPE 512 Univ. of Phoenix Develop lesson plans for remote instruction

/in /by

Scenario: You are an educator in a virtual elementary mainstream class with a diverse population of students. Your class population includes a variety of academic and language proficiency levels, as well as students with IEPs and 504 plans.

The students will be connecting to your class from home, using the school’s LMS (Learning Management System).

The features of your school’s LMS should be used as you design the instruction.

Use a 30-35 minute, content-area lesson plan (math, science, reading/language arts, social studies/history) that you have previously designed for face-to-face instruction, and make the necessary changes to convert the plan for virtual instruction. Do not select a multi-day lesson.

Alternatively, you may locate a 30-35 minute, content-area lesson plan (math, science, reading/language arts, social studies/history) online that is designed for face-to-face instruction, and make the necessary changes to convert the plan for virtual instruction. Be sure to cite the lesson plan, as per APA style. Do not select a multi-day lesson.

Refer to Resources to Orient Candidates to Virtual Instruction at the end of this chart.

Write a 350- to 525-word reflection on your lesson plan that includes a rationale for the following:

  • Selection of the content-area standard for the lesson
  • Modifications and accommodations for a diverse population of elementary-level, online students, with a class population that includes a variety of academic and language proficiency levels, learning styles, and students with IEPs and 504 plans.
  • Instructional strategies and technology integration to promote a high level of student engagement and interaction, with particular attention to age-appropriate strategies for virtual instruction.

Include the reflection in the same paper as the lesson plan—after the lesson plan.
