Have you demonstrated that you know how people learn? Have you connected the theories about how people learn to your actions (or your observation of others)?
Level I Field Experience Evaluation-(evidence that YOU know how people learn; can connect theories to actions)
Level II Field Experience (Teacher Work Sample OR Mentor Teacher's Assessment--evidence that YOU know how people learn; can connect theories to actions
Lesson Plan from Field Experience
Phase II Professional Evaluation

International teaching experience--English language learners DD
Connecting the artifact to this standard
STUDENT LEARNING: The candidate understands how children learn and develop, and can provide learning opportunities that support their intellectual, social, and personal development.
How does each artifact show your growth in providing learning opportunities that support students’ intellectual, emotional, and social development? Include specific instructional strategies that promote student learning. You may wish to focus on intellectual development with one artifact, social development with another, and personal with the third.
Consider these questions as you make the connections:
Show that you understand how children and young adolescents learn and develop. Be specific. Incorporate the habits of mind into your connection.
What have you done to demonstrate you know what is meant by "intellectual" development? Written papers about theories, observations, instructional decisions are appropriate
What have you done to demonstrate you know what is meant by
social development?
What have you done to demonstrate you know what is meant by
personal development?
At times, your students’ conceptual frameworks and/or misconceptions will influence their learning? What misconceptions are developmentally common when working with students--did you write or read about this issue?
What have you done to address physical, social, emotional, moral, and/or cognitive development when it has affected one of your student's learning?
Can you explain how YOU have addressed these developmental factors when making instructional planning decisions?
