Assignment 4A - Instructional Approach: Teaching Getting to Know Your Students Consult with your master, mentor, or supervisory teacher; with additional school personnel; and with families, as needed, to develop your understanding of students’ assets and learning needs. Review student work and available assessment or survey data and talk with and/or observe students to learn about the class’s range of assets, including academic strengths, and learning needs. You will use this information to establish content- specific learning goals (including California English Language Development (ELD) Standards as appropriate). Write a description of Students’ Assets and Learning Needs (Whole Class or Focus Students) Prior academic knowledge related to the specific content you plan to teach Describe what skills students already have coming into this lesson – what are they already able to do? - Students already have a basic understanding of number recognition. Students already learned a bit about money in Kindergarten, so they have some basic knowledge. They can identify and distinguish number values. Students also already have some capability in counting and representing numerical values. English language proficiency levels (Standard English learners and English learners List students and their CELDT or ELPAC levels: - JS is a focus student provided in the example. His score is reflected as level 1 (1150). JS scores a 1150 in all four domains, Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. Having level 1 reflects that JS is “beginning to develop” across all four domains. Cultural and linguistic resources and funds of knowledge (i.e., knowledge and skills derived from cultural experience Cultural resources and funds of knowledge: - The lesson plan incorporates students' personal experiences and family financial practices such as allowances. There may be other saving traditions as a part of their cultural and familial backgrounds. Implementing books about diverse cultures serves as a cultural resource that provides cultural knowledge, cultural awareness, and richness to their heritage. Linguistic resources and funds of knowledge: - Puzzles like crossword puzzles, word searches, and riddles can engage students in a fun way while expanding their vocabulary and language skills. Guest Speakers from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds can share their language and cultural knowledge. Prior experiences and interests related to the content How might you incorporate or build on their experiences and interests as assets to this lesson: - I would encourage students to share their personal experiences related to money, such as how they may have used coins and bills in the past. By connecting these experiences to the lesson, I can make the subject matter more relatable and relevant. Additionally, I can incorporate current trends in today's media such as online games like Fortnite, where I would make connections between in-game currencies and real-world money. This caters engagement by relating the lesson to their interests.
Lesson management structure What behavioral expectations will you model and expect? - I would model active listening during discussions and encourage students to do the same. I would also demonstrate patience and encouragement when students encounter challenges, emphasizing the importance of a growth mindset and persistence. I would also expect and model collaborative behavior during group activities, walking around the class, promoting effective teamwork and communication. Ultimately, I would encourage students to be respectful of each other's experiences and cultural backgrounds. Lastly, I would model responsible behavior when handling money, reinforcing the idea that finance comes with responsibility.

Essential Questions: (how will you know if students are exceeding, meeting, partially meeting or not meeting the learning goal? You could create a rubric for each essential question to clearly show what your criteria is. "Can you identify the value of this coin/bill?" - This assesses their ability to recognize and differentiate between different denominations. "How would you calculate the total value of these coins/bills?" - This evaluates their understanding of basic addition and money exchange. "Do you feel confident making change for a purchase?" - This tests their ability to apply money concepts practically. "Can you explain the differences between coins and bills?" - This assesses their ability to analyze and synthesize information about money. What will students do to demonstrate achievement of content during the lesson? Identify the UDL Principle Guidelines incorporated. State the criteria! Create your own headings here, based on the indicators to the left! - Hands-on activities allow students to physically handle bills. This allows more engagement while sorting, counting, and making transactions. This aligns with the UDL principle "Multiple Means of Representation." Think-pair-share activities and group discussions reflect students’ understanding of money values and exchange concepts. Visual aids, such as labeled images of different coins and bills, help students associate words with objects and align with the UDL principle "Multiple Means of Representation." Providing instructions in both English and Spanish caters to students with diverse language needs, adhering to the UDL principle "Multiple Means of Expression." Inclusive Grouping in various ways, such as whole group, small group, pairs, or individual, accommodates different learning styles and abilities.
