Wisconsin Teaching Standards
  Pre-Program Program Professional Standards
1. Teachers know the subjects they are teaching.
The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the disciplines she or he teaches and can create learning experiences that make these aspects of subject matter meaningful for pupils.
 My Web Site Project is a central artifact that demonstrates my knowledge of the concepts of this standard. As stated in my reflection, the content based web site and its construction assigned in EDMT 285 Spring of 2003 show my development of skills in understanding major concepts, the processes of children's inquiry as well as the tools available to present the content in an effective way.    
2. Teachers know how children grow.
The teacher understands how children with broad ranges of ability learn and provides instruction that supports their intellectual, social, and personal development.
      
3. Teachers understand that children learn differently.
The teacher understands how pupils differ in their approaches to learning and the barriers that impede learning and can adapt instruction to meet the diverse needs of pupils, including those with disabilities and exceptionalities.
      
4. Teachers know how to teach.
The teacher understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies, including the use of technology, to encourage children's development of critical thinking, problem solving, and performance skills.
      
5. Teachers know how to manage a classroom.
