The purpose of this assignment is for you to demonstrate your knowledge of the
importance of play in the young child’s life. You are asked to clearly articulate the
various ways in which a child’s development is enhanced through play and exploration
Throughout this course, you have studied the major
principles, concepts, and learning theories related to the major developmental
milestones and stages of development. With this knowledge, you will explore how
to integrate the major principles, concepts, and learning theories when
determining the appropriate instructional strategies that meet the diverse
needs of all students.
Imagine you are a third-grade general education teacher
trying to support the needs of specific students in your classroom. Using the
“ELM-500 Case Study,” write a 750–1,000 word essay that addresses the following
areas of development:
Describe each student’s current state of
cognitive, linguistic, physical, social, and emotional development.
Explain how you would use the background
information and experiences, interests, and strengths of the students in
the case study to design developmentally appropriate and engaging learning
experiences, promote the acquisition of knowledge, and increase motivation.
Describe three developmentally appropriate
instructional strategies that a teacher could implement in a third grade
classroom to support the learning of all students.
Explain how you would adjust (differentiate) each
instructional strategy to support Alicia, Sena, and Jeremy’s cognitive,
linguistic, social, emotional, and physical development. Use major
concepts, principles, theories, and other research to support your
adjustment suggestions.
Describe one technique or strategy you could
implement with each student in the case study to increase their motivation
and promote self-directed learning.
Explain what personal values and biases may affect
teaching and how those can influence student learning, specifically
students with diverse needs such as those in the case study.
Support your findings with a minimum of 3-5 scholarly
resources.

ELM-500 Case Study
Scenario: You are a third-grade general education teacher at Oak Street Elementary
School and have the following students in your third-grade class.
Name: Alicia Hernandez
Alicia has attended Oak Street Elementary School since first grade. She
is a native English speaker. She is a very happy outgoing child. Both her first
and second grade teachers report that Alicia loves art and enjoys participating
in art class. This year her parents enrolled her and her best friend in a
Saturday painting class.
Alicia is very social at school. She has many friends that she plays with
on the playground. She shows kindness to classmates and volunteers to help with
classroom jobs. She works well when paired with peers or in a group setting.
While in first grade, Alicia struggled to master all the first grade
benchmarks but with support met the minimum requirements and was promoted to
second grade. In second grade, Alicia continued to struggle. Her second grade
teacher met with Alicia’s parents several times concerning her lack of progress
on the second grade benchmarks. A
variety of teaching strategies were tried to support Alicia’s academic needs.
Baseline data from the reading assessment indicates Alicia is reading
below grade level at 1.6 (first grade and six months).
Baseline data from the math assessment indicates Alicia is performing
math calculations below grade level at 1.8 (first grade and eight months).
Name: Sena Kim
Sena has attended Oak Street Elementary School since second grade when
she and her family moved to America. She has been classified as an ELL student
and receives English language development, in addition to content area
instruction. Sena was born in South Korea and her family only speaks Korean at
home. She attended school in South Korea until moving to America. Her family is
very involved in their local Korean-American church.
Sena’s teachers have indicated she can complete grade-level work when the
material is presented in her native language but has not yet mastered English
enough to fully understand either written or oral instruction in only that
language.
Sena is shy and does not talk a lot in the classroom but has begun
building relationships with a few girls in the class and can be seen laughing
and smiling during their small group interactions. She enjoys drawing and
playing with her siblings at home.

Baseline data using native language material indicates Sena is reading on
grade level at 3.2 (third grade and two months).
Baseline data using native language material indicates Sena is performing
math calculations above grade level at 4.1 (fourth grade and one month).
Name: Jeremy Smith
Jeremy has attended Oak Street Elementary School since kindergarten. He
is a native English speaker with an above average IQ (133). Jeremy has an
orthopedic impairment and uses an electric wheelchair for mobility. He enjoys
creative activities and taking art with his peers. Cognitively he functions
above his peer group but struggles with social interactions.
His parents indicated that he sometimes experiences depression because he
feels different than his friends at school and cannot participate in all of the
typical activities his peers can engage in regularly. Jeremey tends to be very
hard on himself when he makes mistakes and can behave inappropriately when he
gets frustrated. He enjoys playing video games at home.
Baseline data from the reading assessment indicates Jeremey is reading
above grade level at 6.2 (sixth grade and two months).
Baseline data from the math assessment indicates Jeremey is performing
math calculations above grade level at 5.5 (fifth grade and five months)

Part 1: Diverse ELA Lesson Plan
You are in your first year of teaching and finding that many of your students come from different cultures with different ethnic and linguistic backgrounds. You have been providing direct instruction and students are not performing as well on assessments as you would like. You have also heard a few students talking about how they are struggling to understand the lesson after your instruction and that they were confused by the examples you provided.
Considering the various needs of the learners in your classroom and what strategies might be most applicable to support the standards you are teaching is an important part of planning. Use the “COE Lesson Plan Template” and “ELM-580 Class Profile” to complete this assignment. Select a grade level and two ELA standards (one reading and one writing) from the state you plan to teach in to develop a lesson plan that is culturally responsive and differentiated to meet the various needs of students in the “ELM-580 Class Profile.” Include the following in your lesson plan:
Culturally responsive instructional strategies and materials that engage, motivate, and meet the diverse and specific needs of the students
Culturally responsive and differentiated practices that meet the learning needs of the students
Part 2: Justification of Culturally Responsive Teaching
Write a 500-750 word rationale explaining the instructional decisions you made throughout the planning of your lesson in Part 1. Include the following in your rationale:
Explain how a student’s culture and cultural beliefs can affect their learning. Justify how the instructional strategies and materials are culturally responsive and how they are used in the lesson to motivate, engage, and meet the diverse and specific needs of students.
Discuss how you adapted/differentiated your plan to deliver standards-based instruction and assessment that is culturally responsive and fits the learning needs of all the students, including students with diverse cultural backgrounds, English language learners, and students with exceptionalities.
Describe an activity for the next day’s lesson that would integrate listening and speaking and review the learning objective for this lesson.
Support your assignment with 2-3 scholarly resources.
Submit your lesson plan, rationale, and resources as one document.
