This lesson plan also represents effective classroom practices as I read the
article, “Principles of Instruction: Research Based Strategies That All Teachers Should

examples, check for student understanding, and provide sufficient instruction so the
Looking at the lesson plan, there is time for instruction, guided practice, and individual
practice as well as partner and small group work. However, as the year progressed, I
feel like the guided practice became more effective and students were engaged. I used
white boards and the students loved working on them so I was able to see which steps
they might be missing or concepts they all understood. I was also able to see which

groups, and charts of work station expectations. This artifact meets both TPE 8 and
TPE 9. In order to create the small groups and differentiate instruction, I had to learn
about the students in my class. There was a process to get to the point of doing small
group rotations and having students work independently and holding them accountable
that started with creating the charts of expectations for each work station. This was
completed as a whole group with student input so that students knew what was
expected of them. Then I needed to consider not only both formal and informal
assessments and where student’s needs were but also each individual student’s
personality and social interactions with other students when creating the groups. Once
the groups were created, I was able to differentiate instruction and plan activities for
Overall, as the article states, “Teachers face a difficult problem when they need
to cover a lot of material and don’t feel they have the time for sufficient review. But the
research states (and we all know from personal experience) that material that is not
planning to teach new concepts, give accurate time for guided practice, and practice as
individuals, partners, and small groups. In order to plan instruction, we first need to
know our students. The artifacts I have chosen to include under Domain D represent
both TPE 8 and TPE 9 and as I further my years in teaching, I hope to add more
artifacts and learn more about planning instructions and teaching practices.
