This section demonstrates the use of a unit plan and sample lesson plans for effectively crafting lessons that are engaging and informative to students. It also focuses on instructional objectives, which are crucial for structuring the purpose of the lesson into achievable tasks. It also gives examples of how scaffolding techniques and a task analysis are used for enhancing understanding of content and shows how the teacher can dissect the lesson to aid the student in grasping complex concepts.

This section entails a consideration of two of the sixteen standards of assessment, which are crucial for the development of inclusive, quality assessments. It also presents the reader with a critique of a previously done assessment with regard to adherence to standards of assessment. It also provides a comparison of traditional and performance assessments, with an example of a performance assessment and rubric being provided. Furthermore, the impact of these is examined, with the benefits and challenges of their use being considered.

Curriculum integration can take on many forms, ranging from multidisciplinary to interdisciplinary to transdisciplinary. This section exhibits an example of a multidisciplinary approach that integrates the subjects of Math and Science around a central theme, i.e., using bar graphs to visually represent data collected from an experiment on breathing rates. It also delves into the impact of the Dip Ed program on my teaching practice and steps that can be taken to continue the implementation of pedagogical strategies in my classroom, such as a sustained effort at curriculum integration, with encouragement of other departmental and staff members as a whole to do the same.

Technology Integration in the classroom has gone from a maybe to a must. It reflects the changing times and interests of the learners of today. This section reflects on the use of technology in the classroom during Dip Ed, namely gamification and a storyboard, and the challenges associated with their implementation. These methods were engaging with vivid colors, which was a fun and creative way to incorporate technology into the lesson.

Students make a model of the human lung with a pop bottle, straw, and balloons.

"Winds will blow from high to low" applies even during breathing!

When we breathe in, the volume of the chest cavity is increased. Since there is more space available, the air pressure in the chest cavity and lungs is reduced, creating a low-pressure system in your body. The air outside your body immediately rushes in to equalize the lower pressure, flowing in through the nose or mouth into the lungs.

When we breathe out, the chest cavity contracts, increasing the air pressure in the lungs. The high-pressure air in the lungs rushes out of the nose and mouth to equalize the low-pressure zone of air around the body.

When the students pull the balloon diaphragm downwards they increase the volume of the model lung and therefore decrease the pressure inside. This causes the surrounding air to rush into the lung (going from high to low pressure), making the balloon lung inflate. The air in the balloon is trying to "fill in" the low-pressure zone inside the bottle. This mimics inhalation.

When the balloon diaphragm is pushed upwards, the volume of the bottle decreases, increasing the air pressure in the bottle. This causes the air in the bottle to push against the balloon, forcing the air out of it (high pressure air in the bottle wants to fill the low-pressure area outside). This mimics exhalation.

This final section is an overview and reflection of the foregoing. It encapsulates the arduous journey of completing this portfolio, the highs and lows, and the growth that has taken place in my pedagogy over the past 7 months. It also provides a glimpse into the impact of the program and what future aspirations have been birthed out of its influence. Finally, as reflection is an iterative process, it alludes to my initial philosophy and metaphor and how it has also been impacted.
