In addition to this experience, I have also had half a dozen or more hours of virtual experience in a simulated classroom in the teacher training program SimSchool, which provides valuable feedback on teacher choices for diverse learners.

Mastery of TPEs

• Jun 2022 - Present

As part of the credential program at National University, students are guided in thinking deeply about the California Teacher Performance Expectations. Currently, I am in the fourth month of my sixteen-month program. I have spent time investigating and evaluating my skill in comparison to TPEs 1, 2, and 3, and have been implementing plans to grow and develop my awareness and excellence in fulfilling these excellent standards. Through my program, I have learned more about diverse students, teaching strategies, learning theories, state standards, and what it means to be a teacher who makes a difference. Show less
