This is a sample lesson plan I had written for in-person instruction aimed at introducing the terminology associated with karyotypes and allowing students to practice using karyotypes to diagnose patients. In this, students had to be able to identify chromosomal abnormalities from a karyotype and properly diagnose based on the chromosome number the error occurred on. Students were allowed numerous opportunities to ask questions and practice these concepts.

This is a sample in-person lesson plan I had written for instruction aimed at student mastery of using Punnett squares to determine offspring genotypes and phenotypes probabilities. On this occasion, a competition was used to encourage student engagement in the activity.

This is a sample lesson plan written for a day of (covid induced) virtual instruction during my student teaching placement. Students were engaged in answering questions from the final exam study guide. Then, students' knowledge was tested using a Kahoot game I developed. Overall, the production of this lesson plans show my ability to be flexible as an educator as the shift to virtual instruction was sudden.

This project was developed to create a sense of routine in my classroom, and thus ultimately became part of my classroom management. Each day, the daily welcome slide would be projected on the board when students walked in. It consisted of the date, agenda, kick-starter, learning goals, and announcements. In this way, students know exactly what to expect each day in terms of what they are doing, what they should be able to do by the end of class, what they should be doing when the bell rings, and any announcements they may need to know of. After a few days of practice, students quickly picked up on this routine. All in all, implementing this routine supported my classroom management skills because it allowed students to take responsibility over what was expected of them each day.
