I have demonstrated my competence in this standard by thoroughly planning a differentiated lesson plan for readers. My team members and I were able to work together as teachers and talked about several different strategies and ideas to help each of the students. A theorist that is important to this project is Carol Tomlinson because she believes that our goal as teachers is to make sure you are not only teaching content but are also helping students learn from it although they are learning at different paces and levels. According to research, “Differentiation really means trying to make sure that teaching and learning work for the full range of students, which really should be our goal as teachers” (University of Virginia, 2019). This is important because she sees how it not only helps the students but helps the teachers see where the students are struggling and how differentiated solutions can benefit a wide range of students. As a teacher, I was able to understand more about how individual differences are more important than teaching content. I was able to use different books for each of the groups to help with their different needs to help them better understand the content and see where different words, phrases, grammar, etc. come from. My teammates and I also incorporated Chinese culture books into our lesson plan to make it more diverse. We were able to ensure communities that inclusive learning environments enable each learner to meet high standards by using a diverse and differentiated lesson plan to meet each of the needs of each of the students to accomplish their challenges and to keep working towards their end goal of improvement.
