Candidates are proficient in the knowledge, dispositions, and skills needed for effective teaching; effective teaching results in successful student learning.

The candidate makes effective use of technology in classroom instruction.

I demonstrate proficiency in the knowledge, dispositions, and skills needed for effective teaching by using technology like the SmartBoard presentation system, incorporating Microsoft Office products and the Internet into a concept attainment lesson plan. Faryadi (2006) makes the case that teachers who use technology properly in the classroom help promote greater cognitive abilities in students.

Students respond enthusiastically to the use of technology in the classroom. Using the SmartBoard, I am able to quickly manipulate graphic objects to teach a concept attainment lesson regarding metaphor. This method holds student attention effectively, providing a more visual component, rather than simply verbal or written examples of content.
