The competent teacher differentiates instruction by using a variety of strategies that support critical and creative thinking, problem-solving, and continuous growth and learning. This teacher understands that the classroom is a dynamic environment requiring ongoing modification of instruction to enhance learning for each student.
Rationale: This project included artifacts such as a story called Where The Wild Things Are which was written by Maurice Sendak and it was used to test and entertain students on a fictional story of a boy traveling to another dimension or world where he rules over wild animals. This is important to The Illinois Professional Teaching Standard of Instructional Delivery because it allows students to grow through problem solving and be able to think a story through and not go back to find answers because answers can vary depending on the student. Through this project students were able to think through and learn about feelings through English Language Arts and they were able to understand the challenges and major events that took place in the story.

Rationale: I associate this artifact with standard 5I which states, "uses multiple teaching strategies, including adjusted pacing and flexible grouping, to engage students in active learning opportunities that promote the development of critical and creative thinking, problem-solving, and performance capabilities."
I believe that this artifact is connected with this standard because it provides pacing for students as well as the teaching and can be helpful in promoting critical and creative thinking by sharing expectations and plans with the students.
