HTSB STANDARD #1 - LEARNER DEVELOPMENT

The teacher 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 and challenging learning experiences.

In the Spring 2021 semester I was a Teacher of Record at Farrington High School, teaching hybrid online/in-person Ceramics to grades 9-12, and created the following Case Study based on my students as I completed ED312, Educational Psychology. Understanding, observing and reflecting upon the developmental stages of my diverse population of students was fascinating and definitely an “aha!” moment in my own development as a teacher.
