Standard 8 Instructional Strategies

The teacher understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies to

encourage learners to develop deep understanding of content areas and
their connections, and to build skills to assess and appropriately apply
information.
I have met Standard 8 Instructional Strategies as indicated by my PDE 430
Evaluation Form. AS indicated by my Kutztown supervisor, I implemented a

variety of instructional strategies during my unit on National Symbols. She explains

my use of technology through video tours and related content videos as well as my
use of surveys, experiments and creative thinking strategies to allow learners to
develop a deep understanding of the content. She explains how I implemented a
variety of teaching techniques such as: direct instruction, constructivist, interactive,
hands-on, investigations, guided practice, and independent practice to help my
learners build skills and apply the information that was taught to them.
