Time Needed

5 minutes
Multiple Means of Representation
The materials I will use to differentiate instruction and how I will use these materials throughout the lesson to support learning.  Bold is used for any materials I will need to prepare for the lesson.

For example:
·         I will use reflective model to teach students about reflective theory and how to and how to use the model in their daily practice at work.

Multiple Means of Engagement
The activities I will engage students in to allow them to explore, practice, and apply the content are Bold  and I plan to use in the lesson. Also, include formative questioning strategies and higher order thinking questions you might pose.

·         Students will reflective on theory and how to use the model in their daily practice at work. Post in Structured Online discussion in groups of two to discuss their responses

For example:
·         Students will complete a one-paragraph reflection on the in-class video they experienced in a wiki. They will be expected to write the reflection using complete sentences, proper capitalization and punctuation, and utilize an example from the simulation to demonstrate their understanding.
·         Students will also take part in formative assessments throughout the lesson, such as pair-share online discussions, where I will determine if I need to re-teach or re-direct learning.
·         Students will also take part in formative assessments to demonstrate their knowledge on management skills and reflective model.  For example, through an online short answer, online true or false, or online multiple-choice test.  Students will be two chances to re-take quiz.  This would offer students chances to demonstrate mastery
·         Students will demonstrate their knowledge For example, in more summative way by creating an online blog and blog post. They will be expected to write the reflection using complete sentences, proper capitalization and punctuation, and utilize an example from the simulation to demonstrate their understanding. Students will also create a Profile/Introduction Page using photos, graphics and/or video.
·         For example, students will demonstrate their knowledge in more summative way by completing a two-paragraph reflection on their management skills test in the online reflection wiki. They will be expected to write the reflection using complete sentences, proper capitalization and punctuation, and utilize an example from the simulation to demonstrate their understanding.

My lesson is for a blended learning class of lifelong learners (ages 18 to 65).  The Unit Subject is Leadership & Management. The Topic is Management Skills.  I realized that I needed to include a lesson recap of the prior lesson. Therefore, I added in an Introduction to the lesson called a recap of the last lesson with a YouTube video clip.

  1. Hi Ilonka, this was a well thought out lesson plan. I noted that you critiqued yourself and added a recap to the lesson. This served as an introduction to your lesson. This showed reflection on action. You examined your work, saw what needed to be done and acted upon it.

  2. Hi Janine, thank you for for your comments on my blob. Critiquing myself was a tough process. Critiquing a lesson using Schon reflection model was ok.

  3. Hi Ilonka,

    A 135 minute class for an adult audience is a big challenge. Adults come with a range of issues and if I am correct in assuming that this class meets once per week then its really a good idea to include a recap of the previous lesson as it is possible that most students would have had a busy week of work and family duties in between. Adults typically have a lot of life experiences to share and this is especially so in an area like leadership and management where I expect many students would have on the job experience. I particularly like how you included multiple activities to allow students to reflect. I noted that this is a blended course and I noted the pair share activity but I was searching to clarify if the 135 minutes is online or face to face. Personally I would like to see some more collaborative activities but you did a great job of including multiple tools and varied activities.

  5. Some thoughts on improvements here:

    I noted the number of activities you included and I would like to suggest that you reflect on how to include case studies in your lessons. While many of your students will have diverse experiences, some are likely to have little or no experience in the field. In addition to that it makes for whole group engagement and collaboration when the entire class reflects on a single scenario. Schwartz (2019) states:

    Case studies have been used for years by businesses, law and medical schools, physicians on rounds, and artists critiquing work. Like other forms of problem-based learning, case studies can be accessible for every age group, both in one subject and in interdisciplinary work.

    Thank you for this opportunity to review your work,
    Dan
