Reflection

Standard 1: Teachers should understand how students develop and differ from each other. As teachers we should take in consideration of all students and how they learn. Our students are not just going to learn differently but they will also act differently because they all come from different backgrounds.

Standard 2: Teachers should know the learning process of their students and how to relate it to get their students to achievement. They should have knowledge of different theories and concepts that relate to the learning process. Teachers should be able to teach in a variety of ways to make sure all their students understand but they should not lower their expectations for any students.

Standard 5: Teachers should have a positive learning environment so that all of their students will feel safe. It should be productive and well organized while being managed so that the students feel comfortable in the classroom.

The developmental standards give teachers guidelines on how to teach. As teachers we will have all different types of classrooms. With these standards as teachers we will be able to teach our classes all similar to each other. The developmental standards do not only shape our teachers but it shapes the classroom as a whole. In these standards it may be hard to meet every students needs without lowering my expectations. As a teacher I need to remember not to lower my expectations because then that students expectations for themselves lowers as well. Also, I would like to be able to develop a variety of different homework assignments which may be difficult because I am going to be a math teacher.
