The Learner and Learning
Teaching begins with the learner. To ensure that each student learns new knowledge and skills, teachers must understand that learning and developmental patterns vary among individuals, that learners bring unique individual differences to the learning process, and that learners need supportive and safe learning environments to thrive.
Standard 1: Learner Development
The teacher understands cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical areas of student development.
Standard 2: Learning Differences
The teacher understands individual learner differences and cultural and linguistic diversity.
Standard 3: Learning Enviroment
The teacher works with learners to create environments that support individual and collaborative learning, positive social interaction, active engagement in learning, and self motivation.
