Speak Up Advocate Lesson Plan
The Speak Up! Advocate! lesson plan provides a structured framework for an 8th-grade Tier 3 session, including objectives, preparation steps, and a timed 30-minute instructional sequence. It guides educators through introducing self-advocacy concepts, discussing real-life scenarios, and facilitating hands-on practice for the student.
Speak Up Advocate Slides
The Speak Up! Advocate! slide deck is a visual aid for an individual session, introducing the concept of self-advocacy through clear definitions, reasons for its importance, and relatable context-specific examples. It serves as a discussion guide to help 8th-grade students understand how to communicate their needs effectively.
Speak Up Advocate Script
The Speak Up! Advocate! script is a detailed facilitator guide that provides a step-by-step dialogue and instructional flow for the 30-minute session. It includes discussion prompts, transition cues for the slide deck, and specific guidance for supporting the student through practice activities and reflection.
Advocacy Practice Activity
The Advocacy Practice Activity is a scenario-based worksheet where the student works through four real-life situations (school, friends, home, personal stress) to identify their needs, determine who to talk to, and practice formulating clear, respectful advocacy statements.
My Advocacy Journal
The My Advocacy Journal is a reflective writing prompt that encourages the student to apply self-advocacy concepts to a real or future personal situation, helping them internalize the lesson and plan for real-world application.
Advocacy Cool Down Ticket
The Advocacy Cool Down Ticket is a quick exit assessment for the student to define self-advocacy in their own words, identify a situation for application, and self-rate their confidence level after the lesson.
