Instruction

Standard 4. 

Teachers plan and deliver effective instruction that advances the learning of each individual student

I prioritize designing instruction that is both culturally responsive and relevant. This means that I incorporate aspects of my students’ cultures and experiences into the curriculum, ensuring that the material resonates with them on a personal level. I go beyond the traditional academic sphere, pushing my students to apply their knowledge to real-world situations. This helps them develop valuable problem-solving skills and prepares them for challenges they might encounter beyond the classroom.

Recognizing the diverse abilities of my students, I understand that each individual learns at their own pace and has unique strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, I provide a range of supports and scaffolding to accommodate these differences. Throughout the instructional process, I continually adjust my teaching methods to best suit each student’s needs. This includes providing extra guidance for those who may struggle with certain concepts, while also presenting more complex challenges to those who are ready to advance further. This approach ensures that every student has the opportunity to succeed and thrive in their learning journey.
