Establishes high expectations for each student's learning and behavior. 

This is a poster of the rules and expectations we have for P.E. classes at Morgan Park Academy. This artifact connects to standard 3H because it is hung up to remind students of what is expected of them while they are in the gym. The rules and expectations are explained thoroughly at the beginning of the school year and students are frequently reminded of them, however having a visual that students can see every day increases awareness even more. It is extremely important to establish rules and expectations early on. I have learned that it is extremely worth it to take the extra time to emphasize rules and expectations so that classes run smoother in the future. 

Understands the Illinois Learning Standards (23 Ill. Adm. Code 1.Appendix D), curriculum development process, content, learning theory, assessment, and student development and knows how to incorporate this knowledge in planning differentiated instruction. 

This is an example of a lesson plan that I wrote and used during my student teaching semester. This lesson focused on various parachute activities for second graders. Using the parachute is a fun way to teach students cooperative skills and listening skills. This artifact connects to standard 3M because I used my understanding of curriculum development, content, assessment, and student development to create appropriate and effective lessons for my students. Throughout my time at Trinity, I developed numerous lesson plans. Through writing these lesson plans, I learned how to connect learning standards to learning objectives, the importance of planning ahead for differentiated instruction, and how helpful having a lesson plan can be to keep your class running smoothly.
