Core Proposition #3 and the AAT Accomplished teachers design instruction based on the needs of their students (1st) and the goals of the intended learning outcomes (2nd). To maximize learning, teachers use a wide range of pedagogical skills, from traditional to innovative, to achieve the goals of the lesson (3rd). Learning is constantly monitored to determine what modifications to the structure of the lesson or to the classroom environment must be made (4th). Teachers evaluate their methods for strengths and weaknesses of their pedagogical approach to ensure the suitability for their current students (5th). Teachers reflect for the purpose of evaluating student learning in light of the goals and the instruction before moving on to the next lesson (6th). Teachers Are Responsible for Managing and Monitoring Student Learning Teachers call on multiple methods to meet their instructional goals. Teachers support student learning in varied settings and groups. Teachers value student engagement. Teachers regularly assess student progress. Teachers engage students in the learning process. (TaCCL Lab) Reflecting on Teacher-Made Test Results · Was the key correct? · Were there ambiguous questions? · Were there culturally-biased questions? · Was all of the content taught? · Were the test questions at the relevant level of depth? (for example, identify vs. analyze) · Were there common misconceptions? · Did the students study for the test? · Were the assignments meaningful and prepare students for the test? · Do I need to re-teach the material? · Do I need to offer test corrections? · Do I need to curve the test grades? · Were students missing prior knowledge? · What are the trends? · What are common factors among successful students? Unsuccessful students? · Were there outside factors which affected test day? (for example, Halloween or the big football game))
