I am confident:
Model and teach students in a variety of ways to share their learning
Use research and other information on students’ developmental stages and how students think and learn in planning instruction
Assign and design weekly homework papers, for core subjects, Math and English
Plan lessons that focus on mastery objectives and can communicate these objectives to students
Pre-assess (formally and/or informally) student knowledge and skills in order to plan instruction
Plan learning activities that are appropriately matched to curricular goals
Plans activities that create links between students’ prior understanding and new knowledge
Consults with colleagues Mentor teacher and other teaching staff to develop lessons or units (Health & HASS)
Identifies the appropriate criteria for students’ demonstration of understanding of curricular objectives and communicates them explicitly (ART project)
Use strategies that apply to a variety of learning styles
Check for understanding in a variety of ways and modifies instruction to meet student needs
Provide opportunities for students to summarize/reflect on what they have learned, articulate why it is important, and extend their thinking
Use a variety of appropriate instructional materials, including technology
Integrate a variety of technology tools and applications into instructional design and implementation
provides lessons that relate to daily life and are relevant to students; links learning to real-life applications (using supermarket catalogs to work out Math problems)
Plan for flexible student grouping to maximize student learning
