Instructional and Management Plan

With a classroom of 25 students of some variety , there are some major considerations to keep in mind . Some of the considerations are , of course , modifications for the ESL student and the Gifted /Talented student . The ADHD kids need a little more structure and very clear guidelines like the music cue . The teacher will pay special attention to these students and have a visual one on one cue for these students to get back on task . Seating arrangements are a major consideration for different kinds of activities . Differentiation needs to be given some

br thought as well as classroom management techniques for differentiation . First , I will be teaching an English /Language Arts lesson during the middle of a science fiction lesson for Ray Bradbury 's science fiction book Fahrenheit 451 . The students will be glancing at a list of five questions and then jotting down answers individually first . We will then form random groups using something like birthdays to group students . They will share their answers with the group and come to some sort of consensus . This is a modification of Think Pair Share as well as a modification of literature circles because every student in the group will have an assigned role . When a music cue sounds , they will move out of their groups into assigned learning stations that they have self-selected where they will spend the remaining time . This anchor activity will be planning involved in the they have self selected The teacher will attempt to verbally conference with every student very briefly . If they finish this activity , they will move back to their seats for independent reading of their science fiction novel

Classroom seating arrangements will be conducive to groups of four with the learning stations set up on the perimeter of the room . Probably small tables with chairs will be provided for the group work . Possibly there will be more than one student at each learning station , which will be tables set up around the perimeter of the room . Each learning station will contain a specific sheet that contains information to plan how they will complete that particular activity . Each student will need to fill out that sheet individually for their own individualized plan The teacher will circulate among all groups for both activities , asking questions and prompting better planning

The grouping for the first activity will be random . That way each group will have an equal chance to do well on the questions . Hopefully the ADHD students will not be in the same group . If they are , the teacher will pay special attention to that group . For the learning stations , since the s are self-selected , the activities for ADHD will be more kinesthetic than the others as the teacher will have guided these students toward those activities

The major instructional methods used here are cooperative learning and differentiation . Individual modifications will be made to the student with a learning disability , the ADHD students , the gifted student and the ESL student . The learning disabled student and...
