Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in Early Childhood

Assessment - Learning Pan

In pairs, students develop a learning plan to introduce children to a topic in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.

Note: digital or multimodal communications need to be included in the plan. (this can be included as an alternative activity for children with additional needs or it could be for one of the three lesson plans)

Learning Plan (You will create a total of 5 learning plans for each STEAM concept. You may use this template for your assessment if you would like to or you may use your own template provided you touch on all of the following information. If you do use this template, please be very sure to delete all of the entered explanations so that only your work is seen within the categories and sections.)

Learning Area (Indicate which STEAM component, science, technology, arts, etc.,):

Topic and Rationale: What is the activity? Give a title for the activity and a brief rationale of the activity. The rationale should explain why have you chosen the experience for the child(ren)? How does it support children's STEAM literacy? Did you read any article or theory about the benefits of this learning experience?) An evaluation of the effectiveness and usefulness of the resource in teaching and learning your selected topic (analysis) (100 words)

Special Considerations: Are there any special needs to be considered in the class? List any particular ability levels or additional needs (gifted? delayed? Hearing impaired? Vision impaired? ADHD?) and offer an alternative option for any portion of the activity that the children with special considerations would need to complete in order to meet the learning outcomes. (choose one special consideration and offer one alternative within your activity description below). (Max 75 words)

Learning outcome 1: curriculum learning outcomes that are appropriate for this age group

What will the proof or evidence be to show that the student has reached the learning outcomes? Will they create something? Is there a verbal explanation to you showing their understanding? Is there a writing sheet?

Does the activity pose any risks to any students? Allergies? Physical activity? Health or emotional risks? Etc... Safety?

List the materials and supplies and explain how they will be used in each weekly STEAM topic. Where will the STEAM activity be conducted? Describe the space.

What resources and equipment/furniture do you need and how they will be used?
