Standard 6
Instructional Planning
The teacher plans instruction to support students in meeting rigorous learning goals by drawing upon knowledge of content areas, Utah Core Standards, instructional best practices, and the community context.
Artifact #1-Word Wall
Rationale
The majority of my students are ELLs that have been mainstreamed. Many of my students struggle with hearing and using academic language. As a result, vocabulary building has become a major part of lesson planning. Every day, at the beginning of each lesson students are given the new vocab words they need in order to complete the lesson, then the words from the previous lesson are reviewed, then some words from the previous unit are reviewed, then some words from the beginning of the year are reviewed. All vocab words are put on the word wall. Students are expected to use the vocab when they write reflections in their notebooks and highlight the words in their notes. Students are given quizzes on vocab, and have vocab questions on their tests.

Artifact #2-Lesson Plan
Rationale
I have included a lesson plan on the 3/5th Compromise. If you examine it you will that it includes the Core Standards, a learning objective, a language objective, and an Essential Question. Throughout my portfolio many of my artifacts have included Core Standards, language objectives, and learning objectives. I believe that an important part of planning is to begin with clear objectives.
