"If a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn." -Ignacio ‘Nacho’ Estrada
Professional Semester i:
The following is a lesson (click on link to open) I was able to implement in the Grade 5 class I was apart of in my first Professional Semester. Included on this lesson plan is my reflection of the parts that I felt went well and would use again, as well as the items I would change. My reason for inserting this lesson plan is to reflect KSA #9: Teachers use a broad range of instructional strategies and KSA #5: Teachers identify and respond to learner differences. I feel that both of these KSA's are exemplified throughout the lesson as I tried to implement different learning strategies (individual and group work) and created a fun activity that students could use to put the skills they had just learnt into practice.

Professional Semester II:
The following lesson plan demonstrates my attention to differentiation. Teaching in a combined class of Grade One's and Two's enabled me to see a need for differentiation in a new light. The experience also allowed me to observe the benefits of differentiation and how it can work for individual students. Differentiating based on grade level gave me a place to start and the confidence to differentiate for individual students. Further reflecting KSA #5: Teachers identify and respond to learner differences.
PROFESSIONAL SEMESTER III:
Here is an example of my weekly plans, unit plans and long range plans for my time in PSIII. These various examples show the growth in my planning from PS1 to PS3. I am able to comprehensively plan in long range styles as well as unit plans and finally weekly and daily plans.
