Standard #1 – Learner Development
\n<\/strong>The teacher candidate understands how learners grow and develop, recognizing that patterns of learning and development vary individually within and across the cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical areas, and designs and implements developmentally appropriate and challenging learning experiences.<\/em><\/p>\n

Summer 2015:<\/em> Courses such a human growth and development, as well as being a mother myself, have helped to better refine my knowledge and experience with learning patterns in children. \u00a0I know that learning occurs in varied\u00a0ways in individuals, and evolves over time. \u00a0Learning isn’t simply content area or classroom based, it is also physical, spiritual and emotional and found in the real world. \u00a0All of these facets\u00a0must be taken into account in when factoring in how a person grows, and how this growth is measured. \u00a0Learning should be structured in such a way that it is varied based upon these specific needs and so that it sparks\u00a0an individual’s desire to want to know more.<\/p>\n

Autumn 2015:<\/em> \u00a0We have a wide range of students in our chemistry I course, with higher performing students in both our chemistry II and AP physics courses.\u00a0 However, in all of our classes we have students with exceptionalities, ranging from IEPs to academically high performers, as well as English language learners.\u00a0 We strive to meet the needs of all of these students by thoughtfully planning our instruction, modifying and adapting lessons as needed to fit the needs of all of our students.\u00a0 Along with this, we endeavor to talk with our students about their social and extracurricular lives and future plans so that we can help them reach their personal goals.\u00a0 This also helps us better gauge when there may be an issue present in their lives, should there be a change in their behavior or demeanor in our room.<\/p>\n

Spring 2016:<\/em> \u00a0Students come into our room with various ranges of experiences,\u00a0abilities and development. \u00a0It is my job to compensate through scaffolding for the experiences that students\u00a0may lack, to differentiate instruction for all abilities present and to consider and adjust my instruction to meet the various levels of adolescent development in my classroom. \u00a0Initially, I had such a focus on trying to get students to do the math of chemistry but as the the year progressed, particularly after the stoichiometry unit, I realized that even when they could do the math, they might not understand the chemistry behind it. \u00a0This was a revelation to me. \u00a0I decided then that I needed to realize\u00a0that, even if some of my students never fully grasp the mathematics behind the chemistry I teach, they need to have an understanding of the world that they live in and be able to explain or predict the behavior behind the chemistry standards.<\/p>\n
