CCTS 4 states: The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the discipline(s) he or she teaches and creates learning experiences that make these aspects of the discipline accessible and meaningful for learners.
I believe this artifact aligns with CCTS this standard. The presentation attached above is a collection of my learning throughout the course. I have shown my knowledge of trauma in this presentation along with my understanding of the content taught. I can bring my learning into my future classroom and use it when getting to know and understanding my students on both a personal and academic level.
The knowledge from this course helped me to understand how my student’s lives at home will impact their learning based on their experiences both inside and outside of the classroom. As an educator, it is important to understand student’s developmental status and how that can be altered due to outside factors in order to help student’s reach their own level of success. It is also important for the teacher to always take care of themselves in order to be the best possible teacher.
