Section Four:
Alignment to Curriculum & Professional Standards
Introduction
In section four, you will see my artifacts aligned to many professional standards for both
New York State and Ontario. This section has two parts associated with it; the first section is an
explanation of the professional standards and the second part is a chart of my artifacts and what
standards the artifact it aligns with. In the explanation portion, I will give an overview of the
standards and what the standard is used for. The second portion is the chart where it is easier to
see what standards align with each artifact.
Curriculum & Professional Educational Standards
INTASC Standards.
The Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC) document was
written to support teachers in what they are required to know as educators. There are specific
goals the students in each grade are required to meet before continuing to the next grade and it is
our job as educators to provide students with the opportunity to achieve these goals. Within the
InTASC standards there are four main goals with two or three subgoals in each one.
1. The Learner and Learning
a. Standard/Progressions #1 & #2: Learner Development and Learning Differences
b. Standard/Progressions #3: Learning Environments
2. Content Knowledge
. Standard/Progression #4: Content Knowledge
a. Standard/Progression #5: Application of Content
3. Instructional Practice
