Portfolio Entries For Illinois Professional Teaching Standard II

The competent teacher understands how individuals grow, develop, and learn and provides learning opportunities that support the intellectual, social, and personal development of all students.

Item One: Community Project (view entry)

The community project that I helped create is a project that will help the students to better their community. It allows them to work in collaboration with their classmates and their community. It will also help them to feel like an important part of their community, and will so help them to become active citizens.

Item Two: Development Paper (view entry)

My Development paper describes how my experience of growing up fits into the framework of Psychology. I explore some key psychologists' ideas through my own experience, and that helped me to more fully understand how their theories really function. It also made me realize how all parts of development (intellectual, social, and personal) are vital to how a person develops, and essentially to who they become.
