order to increase
engagement in my
lessons. For example,
we had a celebrate
world cultures week
in our classroom
where parents were
welcomed in to share
special food, holiday,
or other items with
our class. One
student showed us a
special Korean dance
and another student
shared chicken, lamb
and beef kabobs. The
students enjoyed
sharing their cultures
and other students
enjoyed sharing in
special traditions. I
link my lessons to
student interests as
well. My students
love to play all types
of games and are
extremely
competitive. I have
created games to
keep them engaged
in Spelling, Social
Studies and Science.
These games include
Jeopardy, Guess the
Word, Sparkle, etc.

My students have
been able to
articulate the
relevance of our
lessons based off of
their lives and
society. We have
been focusing on
protecting the
environment and
have discussed
several important
reasons to take care
of the earth. We
recently discussed
honeybees and their
importance to
growing food.
Students were able to
relate to the idea that
without honeybees,
we would not be able
to grow many of their
favorite fruits and
vegetables. They
understood that
honeybees are vital
to the environment.
They also understood
that they could make
small changes in their
daily lives to help our
environment.

Students are
knowledgeable on the
range of resources
available to them to use
in a variety of subjects.
For example, in math,
students know a variety
of ways to solve a
problem including:
drawing a math picture,
using a number line,
using knowledge of math
facts, using
manipulatives, or
creating a number

I facilitate deep
learning and critical
thinking especially in
the areas of science
and steam. I create
questions that
coincide with lessons
that we are learning
to get students
thinking deeply
about the subject
matter. For example,
students had to
create a boat out of
foil to carry an
Standard 1 CSTP: Engaging and Supporting All Students in Learning
animal. Students had
to think of strategies
on how to create
their boat. Then
after testing,
students were able to
take what they
learned and create
another boat based
off of their initial
results. It was
interesting seeing
and hearing their
thinking on how they
could solve the
problem. 5/1/19
At the beginning of a
unit, we will usually
complete a KWL
chart or a similar
organizer. This
provides students
with the opportunity
to ask questions
about the topic and
also allows me
insight into what
they know already.
Our goal during the
unit is to answer the
questions that
students ask as well
as discuss any
misunderstandings
from the organizer.
During research and
Standard 1 CSTP: Engaging and Supporting All Students in Learning
readings students
know to raise their
hand and share if we
have answered a
question. 5/1/19
