Structured Literacy: Explicit Phonics Instruction (/ee/ and /ea/ Vowel Teams)
D637 - Teaching a Lesson Using Backwards Design.mp4Award-Winning Instructional Demonstration
★ Recipient of WGU Excellence Award for Exemplary Performance
Focus Skill: Explicit, systematic decoding and orthographic mapping of the /ee/ and /ea vowel teams.
Instructional Model: Gradual Release of Responsibility ("I Do, We Do, You Do") incorporating multisensory sound-spelling connections.
Key Pedagogical Elements:
Direct Phonics Instruction: Explicit articulation and isolation of the target vowel sound.
Multisensory Scaffolding: Visual cues, auditory blending, and kinesthetic tracing to support working memory.
Formative Check-ins: Built-in checks for understanding before transitioning to independent practice.
Secondary Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) & Assistive Technology
Secondary Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) & Assistive Technology
★ Double Recipient: WGU Excellence Awards for Exemplary Written SDI Design & Video Demonstrations
Demonstrating evidence-based adaptations, systematic ABA prompting hierarchies, and assistive technology implementation for secondary inclusive environments.
10th Grade ELA: Narrative Perspective & Assistive Technology
10th Grade ELA: Narrative Perspective & Assistive Technology
Focus Student & Context: 10th Grade General Education English inclusion setting; supporting reading comprehension, textual analysis, and ADHD/executive-functioning needs.
Systematic Instructional Model: Explicit "I Do, We Do, You Do" comprehension modeling paired with a systematic Least-to-Most prompting hierarchy and token reinforcement.
Assistive Technology (AT) Integration: Direct instruction in Microsoft Immersive Reader (text-to-speech with line-focus visual tracking) and Google Docs Voice Typing (speech-to-text dictation) to eliminate transcription fatigue and support analytical writing.
12th Grade Geometry: CRA Sequencing & Dynamic Software
12th Grade Geometry: CRA Sequencing & Dynamic Software
Focus Student & Context: 12th Grade General Education Geometry inclusion setting; supporting a student with dyscalculia, math anxiety, and severe working memory retrieval barriers.
Systematic Instructional Model: Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) sequencing using color-coded visual representations paired with a 5-step forward-chaining task analysis.
Assistive Technology (AT) Integration: Dynamic modeling in GeoGebra Geometry, allowing the student to construct right triangles, dynamically manipulate measurements, and visually verify algebraic calculations.
