The 5Es Learning Plan
The 5Es Learning Plan
This document is my example of a 5Es Lesson plan for a lesson that I created for my 7th grade Language Arts class. The plan begins with the Essential Question: How do people survive and grow stronger in challenging environments? Using backwards planning as a guide, I focused on what skills I wanted my students to use and apply (in the Elaborate stage) and then prepared my lessons accordingly. The 5Es plan provides a pacing guide and well-planned lesson that includes UDL strategies for engagement, multiple means of representation, and multiple means of action. It includes both teacher-directed and student-directed activities that promote thinking routines, thought provoking activities, and opportunities for students to demonstrate what they learned in a creative manner.
Project Zero's Core Thinking Routines
Project Zero's Core Thinking Routines
One of the pedagogical strategies that I enjoyed learning about in this course was the implementation of Project Zero's Core Thinking Routines. These Thinking Routines provide learning strategies that are relatively easy to implement, encourage collaboration among students, promote student voice, and provide engaging and interactive activities for students
Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
In this course, I learned the fundamentals of Universal Design for Learning (CAST guidelines) and the strategies and techniques for implementing them in my 21st century classroom. This includes removing barriers to learning, enhancing engagement, as well as providing multiple means of representation, action and expression. By creating lesson plans with the 5Es plan, and using EdTech tools and thinking routines, teachers can effectively use and apply UDL to their classrooms.
Pedagogical Knowledge
Pedagogical Knowledge
Pedagogical Knowledge refers to the skills and knowledge for teaching and learning. Although I have been teaching for 10 years, I still have much more to learn in terms of strategies and skills, understanding how students learn best, and how to work with different learning environments, such as hybrid and online schooling. In this course, I learned valuable skills, including the strategies and techniques of UDL, thinking routines, and the 5Es planning model. Students are more motivated to learn and be involved in their learning when they feel engaged, have opportunities to express themselves, self-direct their learning, and have multiple ways to demonstrate what they have learned.
