2. Relevance/Rationale: Based on prior lessons and assessments of your students, why is this the
right lesson for your students to learn right now in your class? (TPE 1.3, 2.6, 3.2)
Based on prior lessons and assessments, the students have understood the concept of using a
protractor, but have made a few small mistakes. This leads me to understand that they need more
practice to perfect the skill.

Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template
All the students in the classroom come from an economically affluent family background. Most of
the parents of the children are professionals. They all have English as their first language as well, so
there are no ELL students in the classroom. Most of the classroom is made up of Caucasian
students, with the exception of one student who comes from a middle eastern background.
Although, due to the fact that she was born and raised in the United States, her family has
embraced the American culture and way of life. Nevertheless, this student offers funds of
knowledge because of her cultural background and travel history. This student has encountered
what her culture is and her parents have been intentional to show what hard work looks like in their
country. According to this student’s teacher, her parents have taken my student, along with her
older brothers, to encounter what hard outdoor labor is. Some additional assets of the class are
that they all support one another and enjoy seeing each other succeed. Since the students have
this asset, it is never hard for a student to find someone who is willing to explain or help their peers. I
really like to highlight this asset through pair-share because I know the students are more than
capable of supporting one another throughout the lesson. This is beneficial to both parties that are
asking and giving help. The student who is asking for help will learn that it is appropriate to ask
others when needed and communicate their needs. As for the student giving the help, when they
explain the information their understanding becomes deeper. They are also a class that is very
interactive and likes to constantly communicate with one another, so they often do a wonderful job
at communicating when it is about a specific subject that sparks their interest, such as spiders.
More than likely, the additional needs of the other students are met through collaborating and
working closely with their peers. If this seems to not be successful, the additional adult in the
classroom and I are also around to answer any other questions that the students are not certain
about.
Social-emotional developmental (SEL) factors that may influence instruction in this academic area
or that could be addressed in this academic area (TPE 2.1)
The students really enjoy sharing what they are doing with their time when they are not at school. I
like to have a time before starting the lesson where I ask them what they are excited about or
looking forward to for the week. The students enjoy hearing from their friends as well. This also helps
me get a better view of what my students like to do outside of school and learn more about them.
Interests and/or aspirations in the class (relevant to this academic area) (TPE 1.3)
The classroom is very motivated by competition with one another. They like to play educational
games on Kahoot together and enjoy when learning is tied with playing games.

Throughout the lesson I will need to be repeating the directions multiple times and use visuals such
as holding up the book when I ask them to pull it out. I will also need to model throughout the lesson
what we will be doing and do the work along with them as well. This would also be correlated to
doing something similar to modeled talk. This also means that as we are going through the activity,
my paper will be on the projector for the students to follow along and know where to exactly write
what we are discussing.
I will also use partners and peer support as I see fit if it is needed throughout the lesson. It will be
very important for me to be monitoring the progress and adjust the pace of the lesson based on
how the students are responding to the information. I would be able to speed it up or slow down the
pace in which we are going.
How will you specifically address each the CA ELD Standards you identified at the beginning of this
lesson plan to ensure your students will master your Learning Outcomes?
• Part 1: The students will be able to listen to the academic language and be able to
communicate with their peers and participate in class discussion.
55 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 • vanguard.eduGraduate Education / Academic / Handbook – BH 01/06/22

Part 2: Students will be able to connect two ideas to one another and compare two fractions to
each other to determine if they are equivalent or not.
2. Differentiation for Special Needs: Tie it to the specific needs of your students. (TPE 3.5, 4.4)
The differentiation that can be applied for the special needs students can be a shortened amount
of math situations with extended time to complete the work. They would also get extra support from
the additional adult in the room. They can also be allowed a break when needed and appropriate
throughout the lesson.
5. Higher Order Thinking Strategies (Bloom’s, Depth of Knowledge, Hess’ Cognitive Matrix, G.A.T.E.
Strategies, Graphic Organizers, etc.). What three levels of Bloom’s will you address in this lesson to
enhance the depth with which your students will engage the lesson objective? At least one of them
must be from one of the top three levels of higher order thinking. (Remember, Understand, Apply,
Analyze, Evaluate, Create) (TPE: 1.4, 4.4)
55 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 • vanguard.eduGraduate Education / Academic / Handbook – BH 01/06/22
Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template
Remember: Students will recall what kind of lines we have learned such as parallel lines,
perpendicular and intersecting lines. They will also be recalling the different criteria for each angle
such as obtuse, acute, and right angle.
Apply: The students will be able to apply what they have learned, carry out the math situation, and
solve what each angle degree is.

1. Formative Assessments: At least two formative assessments total, at least one with a rubric
(copy or attach rubric to this template) (TPE 1.8, 2.5, 5.1, 5.5)
Formative Assessment 1:
The first formative assessment will be done through the pairing/matching activity. Students should
be able to identify which words go with what definitions. They will be working collaboratively to
complete this task. I will be observing if there is a particular term that they are struggling with. I will
know how to work with them.
Formative Assessment 2:
The rubric will be listed below, based on the completion of the activity sheet Lines and Angles Work
Sample.
2. Self-Assessment: How will all students be involved in self-assessment and reflection on their
learning goals and progress? If working in teams, how will they peer-assess each other and the
group? A rubric is required for the students to use in either self-assessment or team assessment
(TPE 1.5, 5.3)
Students will complete the self assessment presented below. They will be reflecting on their own
learning and thinking about what they have learned. They will also be reflecting on something that
they think they need more practice with.
2. Prior Teaching, Prior Student Knowledge from Assessments or Student Funds of Knowledge:
Students have been working on learning the different kinds of angles for over a week now. The
students have prior knowledge about how to use a protractor, and identify key characteristics about
a right, acute, and obtuse angle. Based on prior assessments, the students know how to explain their

3. Resources / Materials: What texts, digital resources and materials will be used in this lesson?
chrome books
pencils
Lines & Angles Work Sample Activity
Protractors
Matching cards with vocabulary terms and definitions
4. Procedure: Provide a detailed procedure that includes estimated times and intended questions.
Lesson Explanation: How will the lesson objectives be explained to the students? How will you
communicate how it relates to prior learning? How will you communicate your expectations for
learning and behavior? How will you establish a positive and safe learning environment? (TPE 2.2, 2.3,
2.5, 2.6, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3)

Anticipatory Set: For engaging in initial problem solving and recruiting interest
The students will be watching a Youtube video that speaks/sings about angles. It will be a quick
review, while also teaching them that angles are everywhere.

Body –
The Seven Step Lesson Plan would suggest these stages: Teach and/or Model, Check for
Understanding, Guided Practice, Independent Practice (TPE 1.8)
- The students will first log onto Google Classroom to complete the first activity. This activity will
serve as a review for the students. It consists of the students matching the pictures with the
term that correlates to it. This will serve as a short review to lead into the lesson.
- Students will then work on the activity called Lines & Angles Work Sample ,
- I will guide the students in this activity to begin by reading the instructions and making
sure that the students understand what is being asked of them.
- After I read through the instructions with them, I will let them work on this activity
independently. Throughout this time, I will be circulating the room to monitor the
learning and addressing any questions.
- I will be monitoring how much time they will have for this activity. I am planning to have
somewhere around 15 minutes for this activity. I will adjust the activities and time frame as I
see fit. Once students are done, they will submit their paper to a basket in the back of the
room.
- Next, students will be given a term and a definition. Students will work together to pair these
terms along with the definition, and lastly pair it to the picture that is on the board once they

Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template
Next Steps: How will next steps be communicated to the students about continuing to learn this topic
after the lesson?
The students will then complete their self reflection as an exit ticket. They will write down their
concerns or things they will like to work on. I will then have them turn in their sheet of paper to me. I
will remind them that we will continue to work on measuring angles and identifying angles in variety
forms. The next step will be to begin naming angles and polygons.
Part 6 – Reflection
TPE 3.4, 6.1, 6.5
After presenting the lesson in the classroom, review and reflect on student work related to the lesson
1. Include rubric data here:
Most of my students had a difficult time completing the activity that was given to them. They had no
problem measuring a single angle, but when multiple angles were presented to them in a different
figure they had a hard time figuring out how to measure. This activity was meant to be an
independent activity, but I quickly saw that my guidance was needed throughout the activity heavily.
b. Explain areas of unsuccessful achievement; and why each specific student was unsuccessful –
The areas where students needed more help, I would not call unsuccessful. The students are still
getting the hang of measuring. I think it was a good challenge for the students to practice measuring
angles in a different way. I saw that the students felt very confident and bored even when measuring,
so this challenge was done at the right time.
3. How did learning deeply about your students’ assets and learning needs:
a. inform and/or shape your lesson plan for the whole class?
Learning about their assets and needs, I was able to clearly identify that this particular class of
students needed some more support. Therefore, I knew that I would have to be ready to adapt or
change my lesson plan according to their needs.
55 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 • vanguard.eduGraduate Education / Academic / Handbook – BH 01/06/22
Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template
4. Think about your teaching practice during the learning segment and what you learned from your
analysis of multiple types of assessment about your students’ understanding of content and/or ELD
learning goal(s).
a. What was most effective about your teaching or assessment in helping students achieve the
content and/or ELD learning goal(s) of the segment?
I think it was really good that I had my students reflect on what they need more practice with after
the activity. It only had to be a small sentence or phrase that they realized they needed more help
with.
b. b. What was less effective about your teaching or assessment? What do you want to set as an area
for growth to increase your effectiveness as a teacher? Explain why you have chosen this
professional learning goal.
I think what was less effective about my teaching was that I may have overestimated what my
students were ready for. It was clear once they started the activity that they needed a lot more
guidance than anticipated.
5. What instructional strategies were used to help students achieve the lesson objective? Which
subject-specific pedagogical skills were used to help students be successful? (reference TPE SSP 1-7
Part 2: Subject-Specific Pedagogy)
The instructional strategy that was used to help students be successful was modeled talk. I did a lot
of modeling for the math situations that I expected my students to be able to do.
a. Was your lesson plan sufficiently flexible to support all students’ learning, or did you need to
incorporate specific instructional, in-the-moment adaptations for particular students? Why or why
not?
I do think that my lesson plan was plenty flexible to support all the learning needs of my students. I
did my best to adapt the instruction and support the students that needed it the most.
b. Did your instructional approach support learning for the whole class and for each of your focus
students to achieve the content-specific learning goal(s)?
I do think that my instructional approach did this. My class is split up into a different group, so I
was teaching the at level group. This grouping helped me navigate the lesson and needs with
more ease.
6. According to the data analysis, what changes could be made to the lesson and why? Please use
55 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626 • vanguard.eduGraduate Education / Academic / Handbook – BH 01/06/22
Standards-Aligned Graduate Education Lesson Plan Template
specific examples from your student samples or note other specific evidence.
I think I would go over the last math situation in more depth before setting them off to work on it
on their own. It was a math situation that they have never seen before so I could have supported
them more to begin with.
If you were to develop and teach this lesson again, what would you do the same or differently to
improve deep learning of content and academic language for the whole class of students and
why?
As I had stated above, I would slowly introduce and have the students look at the figure on the
last math situation to get acclimated to it.
7. What should be done next to teach the students who were not successful in grasping the lesson?
Explain what you would do next to advance the learning of the whole class of students. How could
it be re-taught if given the opportunity?
I would want to review and reteach the last part of the activity. I would also want to have the students
practice on viewing and finding angles in different figures and forms. I think that was what they
had a hard time doing, was figuring the different forms.
a. Do you need to reteach any part of the lesson? Explain why or why not.
I think it would be useful for the children to revisit this skill. They know and understand how to
measure, what we need to work on is understanding how there can be multiple angels in one
figure.
b. Based on what the whole class of students learned about the content you were teaching, what
will you teach next?
In the next lesson we will be finishing up lines and measuring. The students will have a little more
time to practice before we move on into the next chapter.
8. Personal Reflection: What did you learn about yourself as a teacher, and how you want to teach in
the future?
What I learned about this specific lesson was that your plan can completely change once you start
the lesson. You may think that your students can handle the challenge and take it head on, but in
reality they struggle and you need to adapt your instruction. It was interesting to see how I was able
to constantly see how the students were doing and examine how to support them. I don’t think that it
was a bad lesson because it allowed me to practice the skill of quickly adapting.
