Standard 3: Demonstrates competence in planning and preparing for instruction.
a. Uses student achievement data, local standards, and district curriculum in planning for instruction.
Below you can see the board where I post learning standards daily. Also, is a copy of the formal observation, which confirms my alignment to standards when designing and providing instruction.
b. Sets and communicates high expectations for social, behavioral, and academic success of all students.
Below is an example of one of the ways that I communicate appropriate behavior and expectations to my students and their guardians.
c. Uses student developmental needs, backgrounds, and interests in planning for instruction.
d. Selects strategies to engage all students in learning
Using PBL has allowed me to use new strategies that closely align with 21st century skills, new literacies, and student interests. You can see these projects by clicking on the link below.
e. Uses available resources, including technologies, in the development and sequencing of instruction.
In the Quad City Ghost Adventure project, students shared historically accurate narratives via podcast. They used recording and editing equipment to create a polished final product.
