Using the link to the Ontario Curriculum find a grade, subject and unit you think would be interesting to teach.
For example, if you were to choose Mathematics you would need to open the Mathematics link http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curriculum/elementary/grades.html
Read through the introduction to the curriculum (all information that is not grade specific – for example, in the math curriculum this is page 1- 30)
Choose a grade – For example grade 1 begins on page 31
Choose an overall skill – i.e. Geometry and Spatial Sense on page. 37
Choose a specific expectation – i.e.
• – identify and describe common two- dimensional shapes (e.g.,circles, triangles, rectangles, squares) and sort and classify them by their attributes (e.g., colour; size; texture; number of sides), using concrete materials and pictorial representations (e.g.,“I put all the triangles in one group. Some are long and skinny, and some are short and fat, but they all have three sides.”)
NEXT:
Explain how you could teach this specific expectation using UDL (engagement, representation, action and expression)
In this section you should include information on how you would teach, what materials you would use, how you would assess your students AND your rational
To complete this assignment you may CHOOSE 1 submission option:
- Compete a written submission
- Create a powerpoint with words and images
- Create a digital poster submission
In all cases make sure you record what subject area, grade, overall skill and specific expectation you are teaching
