Lesson Plan a la Carte guides teachers, clinicians and administrators through a simple, step-by-step process for creating an integrated lesson plan that addresses the social, environmental and communication challenges that often block students’ access to academics and other learning. As the slim, 90-page volume indicates, the authors don’t want to add more work to educators’ already busy day. The book makes an educator’s existing workload easier to manage by helping them create well-designed and integrated lesson plans that bring together learning objectives, therapeutic supports and modifications students need in the classroom. These plans can then be carried out solo or by a team.
Lesson Plan a la Carte features a menu-based model with the vision of finding a straightforward method for educators to integrate learning objectives with therapeutic supports and necessary modifications right in the classroom, and to be able to do so whether they are working alone or as a team. Piloted in a variety of private and public, self-contained and integrated, classroom settings, Lesson Plan a la Carte has proven effective in a variety of settings.
This innovative model provides the tools for creating the kind of integrated lesson plans educators dream of and provides the foundation for a proactive system that addresses academic, social-emotional and behavioural obstacles to learning - all the while saving prep time! Guided instructions are printed on all template forms which are provided in the book as well as on the accompanying CD.
The accompanying CD includes step-by-step planning protocol, guided worksheets, methods for identifying student and/or classroom obstacles to learning, strategies, templates, follow-up lesson plan assessments and additional assessment options for internal and state-level documenting and reporting needs that can be tailored to specific students and instructional settings.
