Essential Elements of CAP

There are 7 essential elements that comprise the Candidate Assessment of Performance (CAP) in the state of Massachusetts. These are- Subject Matter Knowledge, Well Structured Units and Lessons, Adjustments to Practice, Meeting Diverse Needs, Safe Learning Environment, High Expectations, and Reflective Practices. As a candidate for licensure, it was important to me to meet the standard for the proficiency of each element, and I demonstrated growth in my abilities throughout my practicum experience.
