Reasoning Statement: In this data analysis, I was able to see my correlation between Colorado Standards and how students have met them through instruction. Through this process, I was able to see how I can proceed with teaching in a way that will help students who may have not understood the lesson or other reasons.
Reasoning Statement: In this quiz, a classmate and I were able to show our knowledge on pedological practices in the classroom. To know this knowledge helps me be able to teach students in a variety of different ways that best fit their needs.
Reasoning Statement: In a hypothetical scenario, I worked with three teacher candidates from other content areas in order to create a unit based around identity. Through this activity, I was able to see how teachers are able to come together and teach something through different content perspectives.
