Iowa Teaching Standards

Standard 3: Demonstrates competence in planning and preparing for instruction.

Criteria d: Selects strategies to engage all students in learning,

Artifact: Photos

Reflection: These photos show students engaged in their learning. In the first photo, students are

engaged in reading an article and coming up with the main idea of the article in 10 words or less.

This encourages the students to really pay attention to the text. The second, third, and fourth

pictures are of a group of students doing ST math on their I-pads sitting at the guided reading

table, on the floor, and at their desks. C.T. uses flexible seating as well as I-pads to engaged

students in learning. The program ST math is also really liked by students which helps them to

stay engaged in their math studies.
