Description for CA TPE 1: Engaging and Supporting All Students in Learning
Teacher candidates in California will apply knowledge, strengths, social-emotional learning, and prior experiences, interests from students to engage and motivate students. Teachers will execute ongoing communication with students and families (including technology such as emails and virtual spaces). Furthermore, the subject matter should be presented by the beginning teacher relevant to the student and real-life contexts and provide active learning (and critical thinking) experiences to foster and engage student interest, motivation and extend learning.
