Developed by Dr. Melissa M Jozwiak
What to Expect from the training modules
Each training module will focus on a specific area of the lesson plan.
It will include an overview of what is expected in that section of the lesson plan.
It will offer suggestions or common mistakes students make.
It will review the grading criteria needed for a perfect score.
Lastly you will be quizzed on the information included in the modules.
Developmentally Effective and Culturally Relevant Approaches
Instructional approaches/strategies span a continuum from more teacher-centered to student-centered.
Burden & Byrd (2013) available through the Pearson Digital Library
Developmentally Effective and Culturally Relevant Approaches
Developmentally Appropriate Practice (Bredekamp, 2014) recognizes the work of Lev Vygotsky and Jean Piaget emphasizing the children construct knowledge through their experiences. As such, more social and student-centered approaches are encouraged.
A good resource for instructional approaches includes the 50 Strategies for Active Teaching: Engaging K-12 Learners in the Classroom book located in the Pearson Digital Library. Authors: Guillaume, Yopp, Yopp
In the lesson plan:
Describe at least one developmentally and culturally relevant approaches such as fostering oral language communication, child-initiated inquiry, free exploration, teacher modeling, centers, technology, units of study, manipulatives, hands-on learning, the arts, and cooperative learning. The approach to the lesson engages students in meaningful and active ways.
Example of Developmentally Effective and Culturally Relevant Approaches
This lesson will use manipulatives in the form of small concrete objects to represent one-syllable words.
It will foster oral language communication allowing kids to say aloud and describe the objects they pull from the mystery bag.
I will model the concept by playing the games with the students.
Grading
| Exceeds Expectations | Proficiency | Moving toward Proficiency | Unacceptable | |
| Development-ally Effective and Culturally Relevant Approaches (NAEYC 1a-c, 4a-d, 5c-d) | Developmentally effective and culturally relevant approaches are listed, described and utilized with children. These may include but are not limited to fostering oral language communication, child-initiated inquiry, free exploration, teacher modeling, centers, technology, units of study, manipulatives, hands-on learning, the arts, and cooperative learning. The approach to the lesson engages students in meaningful and active ways. | Most of the lesson utilizes developmentally appropriate and culturally relevant approaches but some aspects of the lesson are limited. Students are actively involved in the lesson. | The lesson is based on procedures and/or activities that are inconsistently developmentally appropriate for young children. Students do not have enough of an active role in the lesson | The lesson is based on procedures and/or activities that are not developmentally appropriate for young children. |
Hints, Common Mistakes and Cautions
Don’t try to list 10; instead, select one or two key approaches.
Do confuse children working cooperatively/together with Cooperative Learning as an instructional approach.
List the approach and describe how the approach will be evident in the lesson.
