Standard Two Summary: Teaching All Children

Standard Two of the The Massachusetts Educator Evaluation Rubric outlined the expectations with regard to curriculum, planning, and assessment. Essentially if you use the unit design and lesson design templates in this post, and build collegial collaboration you will meet Standard One with strength.

"Teaching All Students," as outlined in Standard Two, expects that educators will research and understand students' profiles, interests, and needs, prepare the environment, learning experiences, and students' mindsets for academic success, and coach all students towards high expectations and academic success. This standard is best summarized by the many links below and illustrations that accompanied the posts.

20/33 elements have been analyzed (see list below), and there are two standards and 13 elements left before my chosen deadline of 6/22. What I've learned so far is that teaching well is not a simple process, but instead a professional practice made up of many researched, detailed, targeted strategies, materials, and environments-- details that contribute to effective education.
