The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize you with the five (5) Massachusetts professional standards for teacher licensure. Throughout your experience in all four (4) modules, you will have an opportunity to demonstrate your subject matter knowledge and effectiveness in teaching by providing evidence for the State Standards - - a test run for your pre-practicum and practicum experiences.
For this assignment, the student must identify one (1) indicator from four (4) of the five (5) Standards (A, B, C, D or E). List two (2) pieces of evidence of teacher effectiveness gathered from your high school module teaching experiences for each indicator. Evidence (documentation) may include lesson plans, handouts, task sheets, feedback from observations, reflections, and video. MUST have a variety of evidence! All evidence must be cited as specifically as possible (e.g., lesson plan date/number, date/number of reflection, date/number of observation). Be sure to HIGHLIGHT the actual content you are using as evidence on the documentation. In addition, the student must justify in just a few sentences how each piece of evidence supported the standard. Information is completed on the PPA worksheet (one worksheet for each standard/indicator-see below). Comprise documents and the PPA worksheets in an evidence binder for verification.
