Assignment 1B – Unpacking the Teacher Performance Expectations (TPEs) &
Reflecting on Them (TPE 2)
Introduction
As a teacher candidate you are acquiring knowledge and skills to understand and begin to apply the Teacher Performance Expectations. We utilize the TPE’s because they also align to how districts will assess you and your readiness, when you apply for a teaching position. After you receive your first teaching assignment, you will be required to clear your credential. Guess what, the TPE’s come into play again! Induction programs (for clearing your credential) will evaluate your strengths and growth areas as a new teacher. In this course and future courses, the TPE assignments will get you prepared and thus help you begin your own individual growth
plan as you become a teacher. The goal is to be able to articulate and talk about your teaching practice using the academic language found in the TPEs and your coursework will support this mission!

Unwrapping the Standards
Considerations
As you internally reflect on your assets/strengths and areas of growth remember you are considering ALL students, not just the students whom you easily connect with but also the students whom you may need to learn more about to engage them (cognitively and/or emotionally). It is natural that we build relationships with those whom we have experiences or backgrounds that are similar, it is sometimes more difficult to engage with others whom we have differences with (religion, socioeconomic, gender, ethnicity, race).
Differentiation
Throughout this program we will differentiate for Interns & Student Teachers in various assignments and activities. We will also differentiate for multiple and single subject credential programs. The goal is to connect
your own lived experiences, knowledge, and your credential area to all aspects of your learning. If you feel an assignment or activity does not differentiate please share this with the Course Lead so adjustments can be made.
Intern Teacher
As an Intern Teacher you will complete this reflective practice activity of the Teacher Performance Expectations taking into consideration your current classroom of students. If you do not have a classroom yet,
view this assignment through the lens of a student teacher.
Student Teacher
As a Student Teacher who does not currently have a classroom you will reflect using your personal assets/strength areas (what comes natural to you and draw from past experiences) and what areas you will need to engage in professional activities for growth.

them. 2 . By modeling students manners and respect, students will learn how to respect each other. 3. I plan on asking for advice from other teachers. My plan is to share what works and what does not work in my classroom. Teachers
can then share advice on what works for them. Directions
