  • Demonstrates a deep, research-based understanding of how children learn, develop, and thrive.
  • Demonstrates a thorough knowledge of the subjects they teach.
  • Draws on an extensive repertoire of effective instructional strategies to ensure that students are engaged, challenged, and achieve at high levels.
  • Differentiates instruction and assessment for diverse learners consistently and effectively.
  • Possesses the knowledge, skills, and professional dispositions necessary to sustain a career as a highly effective teacher and educational change-maker.
