Subject Matter Knowledge: "Demonstrates sound knowledge and understanding of the subject matter and the pedagogy it requires by consistently engaging students in learning experiences that enable them to acquire complex knowledge and subject-specific skills and vocabulary, such that they are able to make and assess evidence-based claims and arguments."

How I achieved proficiency:

WPI education, which I talk deeper about in the "My Education" section of my portfolio, makes me uniquely qualified to enter the world of education. I am required to take various math and science courses outside of my major as well as a depth in humanities. Meaning I graduate a well-rounded student despite focusing on the area of biology. biotechnology for my degree track.

WPI is known for its project-based learning education where students have to complete two projects in their time as an undergraduate, this background gives me the ability to translate my experiences into the classroom. Giving students I have the ability to experience a project-based learning education well before they are in college or upper-level high school courses.
