This artifact demonstrates mastery of INTASC Principle 3 by showing how the teacher created a lesson on earthquakes that incorporated diverse learning materials and perspectives. Students learned about an earthquake in Japan through pictures, websites and articles, and were able to simulate an earthquake online. They also wrote a short response demonstrating how an earthquake would personally affect them, allowing their diverse backgrounds to show through.

How Does This Artifact Demonstrate Evidence of Mastery of The INTASC
Principles?
INTASC Principle 3: The teacher understands how students differ in their
approaches to learning and creates instructional opportunities that are adapted to diverse learners.
This artifact shows my mastery of INTASC Principle 3, learning
styles/diversity. On day nine of this unit I integrated diverse and multicultural perspectives. The students learned about one of the processes that change our planet, earthquakes. Within this lesson I incorporated several pictures, websites, and articles depicting the earthquake in Japan and how it affected the lives of the community. The students had an opportunity to create their own earthquake through an interactive website. After interacting with the information about the earthquake in Japan, I administered a one question formal assessment, “If an earthquake happened here, how would it affect your life?” This assessment allowed students to demonstration their individual and diverse backgrounds.
