For this week’s journal, use this self-reflection rubric to evaluate the effectiveness of your lesson plan from Week Four. Elaborate on the areas of strength in your lesson plan, as well as those areas in need of improvement. provide an evaluation of at least three of your classmates’ lesson plans that were uploaded to the Doc Sharing Tab last week. Using the rubric, provide justification and an explanation of how you scored their areas of strength and areas in need of improvement.
- What was easy for me in planning the lesson? Why?

Differentiation
Often times you will have students that you
will need to include modifications for when
you are developing a lesson. In this section
you will need to explain how you could
modify your lesson to meet the needs of the
different children you are working with.
These modifications may apply to the lesson
development section, the practice/check for
understanding section, or both.
Assessment
(Practice/ Checking for
Understanding)
Students are given the opportunity to apply
what they have learned in a formal or
informal way. You will need to describe what
you will do to assess student learning. It can
be through guided practice and/or
independent practice. Guided practice allows
students to demonstrate their understanding of
the material while the teacher is present and
can provide needed assistance. Independent
practice might be group work, projects, or
homework.
Closing Here the ECE teacher/provider reviews the
highlights of the lesson and brings closure to
the activity.
