How do I
Demonstrate Knowledge of Students?
Within each instructional
entry in the NBPTS portfolio, candidates are asked to describe their class so
that assessors can “see” the class.
The guiding questioning under the heading of “Instructional Context”
allows candidates to give evidence of their Knowledge of Students. Candidates should write descriptions
that distinquish their students from other students as individual
learners. Candidates should
communicate a tone that shows assessors their commitment and belief in their
students as learners.
Write a description of your class which
shows a true picture of your students. Use the following questions as criteria for building more
evidence of knowledge of students.
Is there evidence that…
The
teacher knows the students as learners?
The
teacher knows the culture of the students?
The
teacher knows the strengths of the students?
The
teacher knows the interests of the students?
The
teacher knows the potential of the students?
The
teacher cares about the students?
The
teacher has labeled the students by their characteristics?
The
teacher knows exceptionalities of the students?
The
teacher respects the students?
The
teacher knows unique characteristics of the students in this class?
