The Edpuzzle activity helped introduce what the expectations and responsibilities are for candidates in the program. By going through the video questions, I was able to obtain a clearer understanding of the structure of the program, and the importance of being committed regarding about my growth as an educator. I can use what I learned from the Edpuzzle to remain mindful of the program’s expectations and to approach every assignment as an chance to strengthen my teaching skills.

The Course Catalog and Candidate Handbook provided a good overview of the program’s requirements, policies, and expectations for the students. The resources in the Handbook can serve as a blueprint for successfully finishing the program. It outlines important information such as course requirements, clinical experiences, ethical expectations, and professional responsibilities.

The InTASC Standards and Clinical Rubric will serve as important guides for developing effective teaching practices. The InTASC Standards outline the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that effective teachers should demonstrate, including understanding learners, using effective instructional strategies, and creating supportive learning environments. The Clinical Rubric provides a way to evaluate my progress in these areas during field experiences and clinical practice.
