The candidate understands how learners grow and develop, recognizing that patterns of learning and development vary individually within and across the cognitive linguistic, social, emotional, and physical areas, and designs and implements developmentally appropriate, relevant, and rigorous learning experiences.
The candidate should complete a reflective essay illustrating the development of the students under their supervision. Three artifacts are to be submitted and may include the Contextual Factors template, lesson plans, unit plans, video excerpts of teaching, and student feedback.
While at Kansas State University I have taken classes that have taught me how to recognize patterns of learning and development in students. In this we talked about how the physical, linguistic, social, emotional, and cognitive linguistic implement developmental advanced in appropriate, relevant and rigorous learning experiences. In these classes we learning about the different developmental sequences of students. We understood how different grades students would be changing from different stages of life and therefore, teaching would need to change. 1st and 2nd graders would need a switch from playing to allowing these students to create their own decision within in class. A more obvious switch is students from elementary school are entering adolescence and will be less willing to share in class about their experiences and to ask for help when necessary. We have also spent time learning about how important it is for students to be able to grasp the language and the jargon that I as the teacher am using. Academic language takes 10 years to develop and younger students will need help to understand basic music vocabulary to be able to thrive in the classroom.
For example in teaching students in kindergarten and 1st grade, they need play in their school in order to develop socially, cognitively, linguistically, and emotionally. By creating classroom where we spend time allowing the students to pair their imagination with music. Here is a lesson plan example of this that I created. As the teacher I would need to provide activities where they can access their play and learn from it with their classmates in order to help create social and emotional ties with their students. Another thing as a teacher is understanding that as young children are developing physically certain movements are not possible. Changing levels fast is are difficult for young children and we should help guide them to be able to move between having their hands in the air to stomping their feet. Here is a lesson plan of this being used. For students in high school being able to help them understand how each part in the music is necessary. Without a part, the music will not be the same.
