Title of Artifact: Observation 3
Standard: Standard Four: Instructional Planning & Strategies- Teachers shall understand
instructional planning, design long- and short- term plans based upon knowledge of subject
matter, students, community, and curriculum goals, and shall employ a variety of

I am placing Observation 3: Planning under Standard Four- Instructional Planning & Strategies

should be focused around the development of students and to promote critical thinking. The
teachers plans should be instructed based on the environment around them and the curriculum.
