The New York State Teaching Standards and Elements provide a framework of skills and practices that have been researched and proven to be effective. These standards consist of:
1) Knowledge of Students and Student Learning
2) Knowledge of Content and Instructional Planning
3) Instructional Practice
4) Learning Environment
5) Assessment for Student Learning
6) Professional Responsibilities and Collaboration
7) Professional Growth
These standards and elements promote a positive learning environment and acknowledge the range of student needs. These standards and elements are something that I strive to follow throughout my teaching. Throughout the dropdown tabs, I have provided each standard, as well as a few ways that I incorporate the standards into my teaching.
