Standard 1: Student learning:  the practitioner understands how students learn and develop and provides learning opportunities that support intellectual, career, social and personal development.  Standard 2: Diverse learners: the  practitioner understands how students differ in their approaches to learning and creates instructional opportunities that are equitable and adaptable to diverse learners.  Standard 3: Instructional planning: the  practitioner plans instruction  based on knowledge of subject  matter, students, the community, curriculum goals, and state curriculum models.
