Standard #7: Planning for Instruction
The teacher plans instruction that supports every student in meeting rigorous learning
goals by drawing upon knowledge of content areas, curriculum, cross-disciplinary skills,
and pedagogy, as well as knowledge of learners and the community context.
Name of Artifact: Integrated Health/PE Lesson Plan
Date: March 12th, 2015
Course: EDUC 240-Intro to Physical and Health Education
Brief Description: I developed two lesson plans that integrate different subjects into
personal health and wellness aspects of physical and health education for 2 nd and 3rd
grade for lesson 1 and 4th through 6th grade for lesson 2. In the lesson plans the
students will be demanded to do activities physically, mentally, and socially.
Rationale: To document my understanding of InTASC Standard 7, Planning for
Instruction, I have designed two lesson plans that will implement habits to use for living
a healthy lifestyle. Integrating different subjects with class participation and a group
setting will help motivate, learn, and achieve goals academically and physically.
