Modifying a Lesson Plan
Step 1: Training on Core Values
One of the first things you will need to do is train or provide a professional development for core values for the people in your institution. Think about the important information about core values you need to share with those in your training so that everyone has the same understanding of core values. Write a description of the training using the following question:
● What is the outcome of the training? ● How will you provide the training? ● When will the training occur? ● What do they need to know about core values? ● How will you evaluate the training to know if the outcome was accomplished?
*Note: This does not need to take a long time (10-15 minutes) and can be done simultaneously with other activities. You do need to think about your institution to determine if there need to be several versions of the training depending on your stakeholders. For example, elementary students may need a shorter, simpler version of core values. Whereas the parents of elementary students need a 10 minute version with additional details. The training should describe the importance of core values and how the core values might be used in the institution.
**If you think you might actually be asked to do a training for your institution on core values, you may design a training and submit the training materials instead of a written description.
Step 2: Process for Determining Core Values
Create a process for determining core values of your institution that may take several months to complete. You will want buy-in from all stakeholders so make sure your plan allows all stakeholders to have input into the determination of core values. Think about the processes your organization already has in place to see if the process of determining core values can be rolled into an existing meeting, planning time, learning opportunity, etc… Describe the process you will use in detail and include an estimated timeline.
There is not a set format to be used so be creative. The criteria for this section is that all stakeholders are included in determining core values, the process is detailed enough so that someone else could use the exact same process based on what is written, it includes an estimated timeline, the process is feasible, and has the potential to have 4-6 core values for an institution at the end of the process.

Step 1: Outcome of training listed Step 1: Describes how the training will be provided. Step 1: Tells when the training will be provided. Step 1: Tells what others need to know about core values Step 1: Included how the training will be evaluated based on the objective of the training. Step 2: All stakeholders are included in determining core values Step 2: Process is detailed enough so that someone else could use the exact same process based on what is written Step 2: Includes an estimated timeline Step 2: Process is feasible Step 2: Process has the potential to have 4-6 core values at the end of the process

LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE
Marcus Partial IEP and Lesson
Student: Marcus
Age: 7 years 2 months
Disability: Specific Learning Disability
Present Level of Performance:
Marcus is a second-grade student who qualifies for special education services in the areas of reading comprehension and reading fluency as a student with a specific learning disability. He struggles with decoding grade level words and is unable to correctly answer grade level reading comprehension questions related to what he has just read. When material is read to him, Marcus is able to answer comprehension questions at grade level. According to standardized testing, his current reading comprehension is at the 1.0 grade level. When given a timed test at the first-grade level, Marcus is able to correctly read 30 words in two minutes. Marcus also struggles with written expression.
Marcus is able to perform at grade level in math, which is his preferred subject. Marcus appears to be somewhat reserved around his peers, and his parents would like to see him become more social.

Multiple Means of Representation The teacher will start a conversation with the student, asking the student what the different sounds the different vowels make. Teacher will then lead into conversation about the e sound and it makes two different sounds. Teacher will tell the student that today's objective is to work on the short /e/ sound. Teacher will review the short and long e sound with student, teacher will ask student about learning it in the past. (How did you learn these sounds? How do you remember which sound to make?) Teacher will tell student that we are going to read a paragraph and look for the short /e/ sound. Explain how you will differentiate materials for students with special needs · What accommodations/modifications will you include for a specific student? · Do you anticipate any student who will need an additional challenge? What co-teaching approach will you use to maximize student achievement? |
Time Needed |
|
Multiple Means of Engagement Teacher will have the student read the paragraph that emphasizes the short /e/ sound. The teacher will help the student if needed. The teacher will then have the student highlight the short /e/ sounds. Teacher will explain that it is a short /e/ sound because of the CVC/CVCC pattern. How did you know to use the short /e/ sound? What would it sound like if you used the long /e/ sound? Student will read the paragraph. Student will highlight the words with the short /e/ sound. Student will ask and answer questions. Explain how you will differentiate materials for students with special needs · What accommodations/modifications will you include for a specific student? · Do you anticipate any student who will need an additional challenge? What co-teaching approach will you use to maximize student achievement? |
Time Needed |
|
Multiple Means of Expression Teacher will tell the student to read aloud the mini book and highlight the short /e/ sounds. Teacher will visually assess student while working, teacher will ask and answer questions. Why did you highlight that word? How do you know it is not pronounced (use long /e/ sound in place of short /e/ sound)? Student will read the book aloud. Student will highlight the short /e/ sounds. Student will ask and answer questions. Explain how you will differentiate materials for students with special needs · What accommodations/modifications will you include for a specific student? · Do you anticipate any student who will need an additional challenge? What co-teaching approach will you use to maximize student achievement? |
Time Needed |
|
Extension Activity and/or Homework Teacher will talk with the student about the importance of knowing when to use the short /e/ sound giving the examples of: Ben vs. Bean Bed vs. Bead Pet vs. Peat Red vs. Read Teacher will ask the student if there are any other words that use the short /e/ sound that make another word when the short /e/ sound is exchanged for the long /e/ sound. |
