Learning Connections: The learner is an Assistant Principal at GHS who will be presenting a Power Point presentation which introduces the new Student Handbook to the students in grades 9-12. Each of the 4 classes will have a private showing in the auditorium, followed by a student participation in a Question and Answer Session. The Student Council Members who helped design the PP will assist in the presentation. A Crossword Puzzle will be distributed to students who wish to complete it to remove one tardy from their record.

Assistive and Diverse Learners 

    After discussing with Jennifer Cloud, Diagnostician, about diverse learners at GHS, Lou Ann and I decided that the Power Point presentation would be understandable and comprehendable to most of the diverse learneres. It was decided that the PP would be re-presented in a smaller group for students who needed re-inforcement and individual assistance filling out the Crossword Puzzle Assignment.

 

 

Teaching/Instructional Strategy:

Instructional groups strategies, group management strategies, extensions for diverse needs of learners, accommodations and modifications for learners IEP correlated when needed, variety of technologies, variety of uses of technologies.

 

Group Presentation, Discussion, Inquiry, Questioning

 

Student Work Samples:

Authentic digital images, scanned images, video clips, audio clips, multimedia, charts, graphs, web pages

Power Point presentation/w videos; Crossword Puzzle; Student Handbook; Acknowledgement Form.

 

Technology Connection:

Developmentally appropriate hardware, software, peripherals, classroom technology arrangement, software customized to support diverse needs, adaptive/assistive technology to support special needs

Power Point presentation, Infocus/Teacher Laptop, Sound Equipment, Lighting technician.

Technology Management Strategy:

Lou Ann Cole reserves the auditorium for multiple assemblies. Mrs. Cole coordinates and superevises the creation of the Power Point presentation that is designed by the Student Council and Drama Class. Mrs. Cole checks synchronization of her laptop and Infocus. The Crossword Puzzle is created using terms from the Handbook. Teacher practices setting up, turning on computers with the goal of developing comfort in using the Infocus/Laptop presentation setup.

Reflection Time: Use the following questions to reflect on your lesson.

Questions to Ponder:?

 

Was this lesson worth doing? Yes. Lou Ann Cole was very receptive to working on a this learning module, implementing technoloty into the Power Point Presentation. The lesson became quite student centered as several Student Council Members as well as Drama Class members participated in the creation of the presentation.

In what ways was the lesson effective? The lesson helped Lou Ann Cole present the Rules/Regulations in the GHS Student Handbook in an interesting appealing manner. This lesson also reinforced my knowledge as I continue to learn more about becoming a mentor to other educators.

What evidence do you have for your conclusion? The students who helped create the Power Point presentation took ownership in putting the slides and video together. They showed enthusiasm as they worked together to help the Assistant Principal with a project that would benefit her students: a lesson that was optional; however, by Mrs. Cole's efforts to bring together a presentation of the rules rather than simply relying on students reading the contents, she accomplished her goals.

How would you change this lesson for teaching it again? I think this lesson will be taught again next year; at that time we will have something to start with. The present presentation can be edited with new videos and photos of the then current Student Council Members. Also, I would start the process earlier in order to be able to refine the end product a little more.

Did your students/educators find the lesson meaningful?  Lou Ann Cole expressed to me that she was pleased with the presentation.

Did the lesson motivate your students/educators to “go beyond” what was required  Actually, the Power Point Presentation was a "step beyond" what was required. As Assistant Principal, Mrs. Cole is responsible for presenting the GHS students with a Student Handbook. She went beyond that requirement by making the effort through technology to make the experience enjoyable.

Did you achieve your goals met/in progress in the required criteria? I feel that my goals were met for the lesson.
