1a Demonstrating knowledge of Content and Pedagogy
I think that this objective wants to know how prepared the teacher is to provide students with the most up-to-date instructional and assessment practices. It could also relate to being a lifelong learner. Because research is constantly letting us know different things about students and learning, it is imperative that we, as educators stay abreast of different issues and changes in the field. Personally, I subscribe to the National Education Association (NEA); the website has a wealth of information, and I regularly receive magazines from the NEA that are filled with different trends, helpful tips for new teachers, policy changes etc. As previously stated, I have always worked with the early childhood population, so I attend the annual National Association for the Education Young Children (NAEYC) conference, and until about a year two years ago, I held a NAEYC membership as well.
1b Demonstrating knowledge of students
I think this relates to how well a teacher knows his/her students. This knowledge of ones students could be evident in the way the room is arranged, how students are paired, how instruction is delivered, if accommodations are made for students with disabilities so that they can participate in regular classroom activities. It can also be reflected in lessons; how well is the teacher creating opportunities for the students to make real-life connections and are their own interests included in instructional delivery (Multiple intelligence). Equally as important does the teacher demonstrate and promote cultural awareness and seem knowledgeable about different issues that pertain to the populations he/she serves. 1c Setting instructional outcomes It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to align lessons/learning objectives with the appropriate Common Core and State Standards. To keep students proficient and beyond, I believe that the standards must guide the content that teachers incorporate into lessons. Reviewing lesson plans and observing students could aid one in determining if teachers are properly aligning lessons with standards. Proper assessments may possibly come under this category too because even though one may be teaching a good lesson, the assessment will help the teacher evaluate the students learning and his/her effectiveness as a teacher. 1d Demonstrating knowledge of resources This is an area that I am struggling with right now, but I am taking another course that is focused on professional networking, and I think subscription to professional blogs or associations can help a teacher build his/her learning resources; he/she can communicate with other beginning or seasoned teachers to share concerns, struggles, triumphs, lessons etc.
1e Designing Coherent Instruction
I may have talked about this already, but I think it is important to make sure that content is presented in a way that it will be interesting and relevant to the audience. For example, in my current student teaching placement, I have witnessed some nice ELA lessons, but when it comes time for the students to work on projects or do independent work, there is little connection between the lesson and real life experiences; if this was done, I think it would require the students to synthesize and apply what they have learned in different ways. 1f Designing student assessments I think I would use formative assessment because it includes various tools such as tests, observation, reports, portfolios, responses, etc. and it is done on a consistent basis to evaluate both the teacher and student. I would also try to ensure that my assessments measure the original goals/objectives listed in my lesson plans. I would also try to provide constructive feedback to students both in written and oral formats.
