"The unit must ensure each program provides effective instruction on:

(1) content-specific methods that meet the scope of the licensure area; 

(2) the teacher Code of Ethics;

(3) lesson planning, including the use of Minnesota academic standards, or, if unavailable, national discipline-specific standards; 

(4) the knowledge and skills needed to provide appropriate instruction to multilingual learners to support and accelerate academic literacy, including oral academic language and achievement in content areas in a regular classroom setting; 

(5) the knowledge and skills needed to implement culturally responsive teaching and instructional strategies, including incorporating opportunities for candidates to learn about the role of teachers to disrupt patterns and systems of racism, privilege, and oppression; 

(6) research-based practices in reading that enable the candidate to teach reading in the candidate's licensure field; 

(7) using a student's native language as a resource in creating effective differentiated instructional strategies for multilingual learners developing literacy skills; and 

(8) the knowledge and skills needed to engage students with technology and deliver digital and blended learning curricula."
