instructional planning, design long- and short-term plans based on knowledge of subject
matter, students, community and curriculum goals, and shall employ a variety of

I am placing this observation within Standard 4 - Instructional Planning and Strategies as
evidence of continued mastery. This artifact displays an educators ability to design longand short-term plans based on knowledge of subject matter, community and curriculum
goals. Developing theses skills is a valued tool for all teachers (Department of Education,
