have also attached an old exemplar for you to have a look at, it might not be of a same requirements, but similar, so be aware of that and follow the assignment information provided to you carefully. The student who done this paper (the provided exemplar) got 68%. Some of the comments that the tutor provided on the student paper for your reference are:
Your student profile is good with some clearly stated strengths, interests, and needs but lacks some key aspects. Your understanding of the concept of UDL and its principles was very adequate. Lesson plan was
Well adjusted to student. Approaches were discussed under each of the principles and well connected to student interests, needs and strengths.
Your introduction and discussion failed to adopt an assessment approach to identify the students’ strengths, interests, dispositions and areas, family aspiration and priorities.
You could have strengthened and supported your discussion on the student profile with literature.
You have not explain and justify how your approach(es) of multiple means of (representation/engagement/expression) connect with the students’ needs, strengths and interests you have identified.
Explain further with literature.”
Alignment between the learning objectives and ELP standards is achieved.
Observe at least one grade K-12 classroom with ELLs. Focus your observations on how the alignment between the learning objectives and ELP standards is achieved.
Discuss with your mentor teacher ways in which ELL progress in the language domains is measured and the types of assessment data utilized to inform instruction. Additionally, discuss with your mentor how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and English language proficiency (ELP) standards can inform instruction.
Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.
Write a 250-500 word summary of your discussion and observation, and reflect on the application of UDL to your future professional practice.
Your reflection should address the following:
How elements of UDL could inform ELL curriculum and instruction
A brief explanation regarding alignment between ELP standards and learning objectives
Examples of assessment tools used to measure and document ELL progress
Examples of at least two types of assessment data used to inform ELL instruction
