This artifact shows that I design coherent instruction because when I make my lessons I am sure to make it accessible to students with accommodations. Students that were in my class had issues ranging from vision issues, to as sever as autism and even seizures. To ensure that these students could successful learn during my lessons, there accommodations had to be met. Students who had visual issues, or required organizers received a hard copy of all notes, or activities that we did in class. Many of these students chose to take these home with them so they could get supplemental help with their parents. There were also students who required a verbatim reader when it was time for testing. These students received that accommodation. The test would be put on the document camera so that I could both show them what I was reading, and read the test to them.

     This artifact created a positive impact on students because it allowed the students who need help to get the assistance that they needed to keep up with the class. Many students who received accommodations often took their work home to their parents. The parents of these students understood that they needed the extra help. With many nights of studying and assistance I often times had students with accommodations scoring better on their tests than students who don't receive the assistance but that wasn't because I was helping them but because of the extra studying with parents.

     My goals regarding designing coherent instruction is to be a teacher that can level the playing field for all students. No matter what a students race, gender, ethnicity, or ability level is, all students deserve a chance to learn. As a teacher it is my job to prepare lessons so that everyone in all categories can successfully do that. In order to reach this goal, I would like to attend all professional development opportunities on diversity, differentiation of instruction, and also ways to accommodate students who have learning or physical disabilities.
