• Understand and integrate appropriate planning, assessment, and instructional strategies in engaging ways.

• Recognize the diverse needs of the learner by establishing a positive supportive learning environment and utilizing varied teaching strategies that meet the needs of all learners.

• Demonstrate professional responsibility by engaging in self-reflective practices and collaboration.
