Description for CA TPE 4: Planning Instruction and Designing Learning Experiences for All Students
Teacher candidates locate student background information (academic status, content and standards-related learning needs and goals, assessment data, language proficiency status, and cultural background) for short-term and long-term instructional planning purposes. Teachers will incorporate the range and characteristics of typical and atypical development to inform instructional planning and remove all students' barriers. Furthermore, teachers will design and implement instruction and assessments that reflect academic content areas' academic interconnectedness (i.e., literacy, mathematics, science, and other areas). Teachers will use appropriate modifications and/or accommodations for students with disabilities in the general education classroom and galvanize students to advocate for themselves to meet individual and specific learning requirements. The teacher candidate will use various communication strategies that encourage student participation in learning- with co-teaching, in-person planning, and collaborating with school colleagues.

Description for Educational Specialist TPE 4: Planning Instruction and Designing Learning Experiences for All Students
Ed Specialist teacher candidates will use assistive technology, including low to high-technologies- and other materials- to drive communication and curriculum access for students with disabilities. Teachers will use a variety of pedagogical approaches to instruction. Ed Specialist candidates will use behavior-based teaching strategies and create short and long-term goals that align with students' needs. Teachers seek and use students' background information to assist in retaining new information due to insufficient memory processing. Furthermore, teachers will communicate effectively with other service providers, co-teach, mentor, and promote professional etiquette for successful student transitions and access to standards-based and life skills curricula.
