- Use knowledge of students’ background, interest, style, culture, language, individual needs, and assessment data to inform planning.
- Develop daily and weekly plans to support student growth towards mastery of standards.
- Develop common year‑long/course plans that identify the essential questions and resources to support student learning.
- Establish clear objectives for all lessons, units, and projects and communicate those objectives to students.
- Instruct students individually and in groups, using various teaching methods, such as lectures, discussions, and demonstrations to build student engagement, collaboration, and independence with complex tasks.
- Adapt teaching methods and instructional materials to meet students' varying needs and interests.
- Provide daily opportunities for students to describe their reasoning, share explanations, make conjectures, justify conclusions, argue from evidence, and negotiate meaning.
- Define and plan formative assessments to show evidence of learning.
- Use multiple ways to check for student understanding and clarify, reteach, and/or make adjustments to instruction based on information gathered.
- Provide students with meaningful feedback that reinforces effort, provides recognition and promotes student involvement and progress in the learning process.
- Provide opportunities for teacher‑to‑student, student‑to‑student and student‑to‑teacher feedback both orally and written.
- Analyze data and adjust instruction based on student achievement, observation, and teacher practice data.
- Establish rules for behavior and procedures for maintaining order among the students for whom they are responsible.
- Meet with parents/guardians to discuss their student’s progress and determine priorities for their children and their resource needs.
