Part 2: Handout (three to four pages)
Once you have revised your instructional plan, create a handout that will provide instruction for your fellow employees on how to implement an instructional plan for the purpose of incorporating differentiated instruction. More specifically, create a handout that introduces your finalized Instructional Plan Template and how it supports differentiated instruction based on the audience and instructional setting you chose in Week 1. The handout must include the following components:
Audience and Rationale (one paragraph)
Describe the participants of your professional development session.
Who is your target audience? This could be your current instructional setting, and if you are not currently working as an instructor, it could be your desired instructional setting. You can consider instructional settings from pre-K, elementary, middle, secondary, military, or corporate.
Instructional Plan (four to five paragraphs)
Describe the process of creating an instructional plan. Be sure to include a description of the following components of the process:
Determining the “big idea”
Determining the specific objective(s)
Researching the topic as defined by the objective
Deciding on how to interest learners using a hook
Selecting the appropriate instructional method
Deciding on how to organize the lesson
Choosing the appropriate support material
Preparing the beginning and ending of the lesson
Creating the authentic assessment
Creating a rubric.
