InTASC Standard
The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry,
and structures of the discipline(s) he or she teaches and creates learning experiences that make the discipline accessible and meaningful for learners to assure mastery of the content.
Standard 4: Content Knowledge
Reflection
This standard emphasizes the importance of teachers being knowledgeable in their content areas, so that their students, in turn, are able to master the content as well. I apply this standard to all my teaching because it makes all the learning meaningful to the students. The artifacts chosen below, exemplify how my ability to apply central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of discipline within my classroom. My certification exam scores allowed me to immerse myself in multiple scenarios and apply the content I will be presenting to my class. Among that, this test focused on child development, assessment, core subjects, and more. Along with that, I included my pumpkin life cycle lesson and my penguin unit. Both of these concepts I had to do my own research and make it accessible to my students.
