The three standards of Assessment, Planning for Instruction and Instructional Strategies considered here are all related to pedagogy, also considered in these standards are my core teaching skills. The InTASC standards of 6, 7, 8 include ensuring that my students have basic literacy skills. So I must think about how I am teaching and developing literacy in your classroom. I will be highlighting Standards 6, 7 and 8 in your video submissions this week while making use of the feedback I have received from your mentor, instructor and cohort in the previous weeks and include in my video annotations where I have implemented their suggestions in my planning, delivery and assessment of lessons.
