“Curriculum guides allow you the flexibility of adapting your instruction to the individual learning needs of your students. . . . You will also want to remain flexible in choosing the level of behavioral complexity of your unit and lesson outcomes. For these decisions, the information you will need to match the complexity of your objectives to the needs of your learners will come from their in-class oral responses, practice exercises, performance assessments, homework, and tests. You will want to use these often to adjust the level of your instruction to your learners” (Borich, 2004, p. 130). Task: (I have already done part A as it is eliminated) B. Select a lesson or lesson plan that includes a skill or concept appropriate to your area of emphasis. In this case it is Science so you can choose any subject or lesson in Science for any grades between 9-12 (high school). Write an essay (suggested length of 2–3 pages) in which you: 1. Describe how to adjust guided and independent practice for the skill or concept you selected in part B that is appropriate for: a. Students experiencing difficulty understanding the skill or concept b. Students progressing at a faster rate than average 2. Include five techniques appropriate for monitoring student performance in order to adjust interactive instruction based on an analysis of student performance during different phases of direct instruction (e.g., daily review and prerequisite checks, presentation of new concepts, guided practice, independent practice, periodic reviews). 3. Describe how you might adjust instruction using information gained from two of the monitoring techniques from part B2 to reteach, remediate, and/or accelerate student performance as feedback data directs. Note: Be sure your instructional adjustments address the needs of students experiencing difficulty as well as students progressing at a faster rate than average. If you choose to use outside sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format. I have also attached a help document that they have provided to me as well.
