TPE 4: Planning Instruction and Designing Learning Experiences for All Students

 

Planning instruction and designing learning experiences for all students includes: using of student information to plan instruction, understanding child development, creating interconnectedness of academic content areas, making effective use of instruction time, promoting student success, planning and teaching collaboration, and using digital tools to engage student learning and promote digital literacy.

Artifact 1: Enriched Lesson Plan with Technology

​

This lesson plan shows how I took an old lesson plan of mine and enriched it with technology. This artifact demonstrates how I learn from my previous experiences and improve upon them each year to make sure my instruction is designed to meet all the needs of my students. I take pride in the lessons I create and am constantly assessing my instruction and lesson plans to make sure I am meeting the learning goals and needs of my students. The button below will download my lesson plan. (It is safe!)

Artifact 2: "Meet Mr. Schreiner"

Use of digital tools to provide personalized technology-rich lessons

In the below artifact, I send out a PowToon slideshow that I created. I include this slideshow in my Summer Letter to parents to play for their students. Students get to learn a little about me and my interests. The purpose of this digital tool is to provide a fun way for students to learn about me. Throughout the year, I will have students create digital projects and reports. I present them with my slideshow so later in the year when we begin creating digital projects, I can play it for them again to spark ideas.

Artifact 3: Learning Style Test (Click here to try yourself!)

It is important for me to learn about how my students learn. Everyone learns differently but the main four ways of learning are: visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic (tactile). I give this learning style test in the start of the year so I can get an understanding of preferred learning styles of my students. This allows me to differentiate instruction per students’ needs and also tailor lessons and assessments based on my students’ learning preferences. I took the test and learned I am 60% tactile, 25% visual, and 15% auditory; I assumed I was mostly visual!
