Planning and Identifying Topics

In order for a teacher to meet all the needs of each and every student, each teacher should know they have a wide variety of diverse learners. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Amendments of 1997 ensures all rights of students with or with disabilities, receive the same education as those without.
Big Ideas- can help understand strength and weaknesses in the beginning of the school year i.e lessons of what a student should learn throughout.
Conspicuous Strategies- explained information of a tasks or assignment should be taught to students can use them independently.
Mediated Scaffolding- kids have to memorize certain math steps/ spelling words and some more than others need extra help. It's support to help the individual learn the word seeing it, hearing it and eventually knowing on their own without support.
Strategic Integration- Student will learn how things change and must understand the concept of change. Here is where teachers can take them on field trips in order to understand a much more in depth concept of something.
Primed Background Knowledge-this is where a teacher would ask the student what they know of a certain subject, asking of past experiences, connecting old information to new information working towards a class discussion or a report.
Judicious Review- A student will learn to make use of long term memory throughout the course of the year. For example something taught in the beginning of the school year, using is spontaneously throughout the year, ending it with some type of project showing what the child has learned in skills on that matter. Becoming more strategic in teaching, instructors can improve a child's' understanding and content being spoken of.

FINDING LESSON TOPICS:
When finding a lesson topic, a teacher should have knowledge of what the standard based curriculum of the school or district is. The students interest and questions can help shape the topic of the lesson. For example weather is a pretty broad topic. Narrowing it down to seasons and then distributing information of all types of the seasons. Another one would be with planting. Having the experience of learning to plant, how farming changed lives, and base it around the standard of the school and district. Having more information implied through textbooks, videos, guest speakers, websites, and hands on projects can help enhance learning experience and make it more vivid to understand.
