Part One: Explicit and Systematic Instruction

① English Language Arts (Choose a Plan)

② Read and analyze the lesson you selected, looking for evidence of explicit and systematic instruction.

③ Generate a list of as many examples as you can find.

④ Give Examples

1. Name the explicit and systematic instructional practice (choose from the list above).

2. Include the evidence from the lesson for each example.

3. Explain how each identified instructional practice helps students learn the skills in this lesson.

Part 2: Part Two Formative Assessment

⑤ ELAR Work Samples (Choose the one that is the same grade level and the lesson you chose in part 1.)

⑥ Analyze the student response and think about what next steps you would take in a conference with the student or in a small group lesson.

⑦ As you analyze your student’s work sample, think about the students’ strengths, areas of need and what your next steps in instruction would be.

Decide if this will be a conference or a small group lesson.

⑧In one short paragraph (300 words or less), write an analysis of the student’s strengths, areas for growth or need, and a recommendation for instruction.

⑨ Prepare a scripted explicit, and systematic lesson (300 words or less) that you would use to teach the literacy concept, or strategy, or skill to this student in a one-on-one or small group setting.

Remember:

• Clearly states the objective

• Gives a concrete example of the concept or strategy

• Gives an example of how students would be able to practice

• Identifies ways the teacher could give feedback
