Indicator 5: Teachers assist students in developing multiple learning strategies to address discipline specific content, critical thinking, and problem solving skills.

            This standard has been met by my inclusion of a lesson that uses multiple measures of learning. I have required the class to orally write a poem, read it back and read it back as a class. Next they I require the class to draw a picture for the poem, and add one line. This will have the students to make the poem more personal, we well as use minimal writing skills. Then the students are to turn to their partner, and read the poem out loud. Having the students work with this one poem from multiple standpoints allows them to spend more time with it, and begin to learn the words that are in the poem.

Indicator 6: Teachers modify instruction and assessments to meet the needs of individual students.

            I have met this objective by including both how the cooperating teacher modifies her instruction for this child, as well as including modification recommendations for this student.

Standard 14: Elementary teachers develop strategies to address topics that are controversial to diverse groups.

Indicator 1: Teachers understand and respect that families and communities may have diverse attitudes about the educational process.

            I have met this standard by including information about this child’s home life and the influence her family has on her education. I have including information about the parent spending minimal time with her daughter on homework. I have stated that this particular child’s educational development should be school centered, because there is low parental involvement.

 Standard 16: Elementary teachers develop as leaders in their schools and communities by staying informed about educational policy issues and supporting professional development. Elementary teachers participate in co-curricular activities, provide leadership in student and curriculum involvement, and connect these activities to the development of citizenship ideals in their students.

Indicator 8: Teachers research and learn to apply best practices in elementary education and participate in the dissemination of those ideas.

            I have met this standard by making recommendations for student achievement in this assignment. I have followed one student and become aware of the ways that she can be most effectively reached. I have researched in the CRD to become aware of certain culturally relevant practices, as well as used some of the suggested child’s literature sources.

Indicator 9: Teachers understand the importance of collaborating with colleagues to strengthen content, research, and pedagogy as well as with the community to provide quality instruction that meets state competencies.

            By using the CRD created by my colleges, and interviewing the cooperating teacher, I have been able to research and employ skills that promote quality instruction that meets state competencies.

Indicator 10: Teachers advocate for the rights and welfare of their students by involving appropriate school and community human resources in meeting the individual needs of each students.

            This objective has been met through my involvement with a student who is being tested for special services. I have learned that this student is receiving this testing enable to help her receive appropriate school resources to meet her individual needs.
