Standard #1: Content Pedagogy

   ♥TEACHING FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE♥

“The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of discipline he or she teaches and create learning experiences that make these aspects of subject matter meaningful for students.”

The NSTA Standards authors define a model of pedagogy familiar to teachers and teacher educators. This model includes: actions and strategies of teaching, organization of classroom experiences, providing for diverse learner needs, evaluation and implementation of learner’s prior notions, and transformation of ideas into understandable pieces. This standard is important because it refers to the teaching skills and knowledge that a teacher has in a specific area. Effective teachers display a wide range of skills and abilities that lead to creating a learning environment where all students feel comfortable and are sure that they can succeed both academically and personally.
