Pedagogy: Early Childhood (Birth to Grade 3) & Early Childhood Education (Birth to Grade 3)
Summarize the developmental milestones of children from birth to age eight across physical, cognitive, language, and social-emotional domains on a single reference chart.
Apply two named developmental theories to a written case study of one child and justify each recommended classroom response.
Draft an activity plan that supports early literacy and numeracy simultaneously and cites the developmental research behind each choice.
Describe appropriate screening, referral, and family-communication procedures for a suspected developmental delay, including legal and ethical considerations.
Write a one-page philosophy statement on play-based learning and its role in early childhood curriculum.
Your checkpoint
A developmental milestones chart plus a case-study analysis with cited theory and a complete activity plan.
Pedagogy: Elementary (Grades K–6) & Elementary Education (Grades K–6)
Build a K–6 scope-and-sequence outline for reading, writing, and mathematics that shows how skills build across grade levels.
Design three differentiated lesson plans for the same elementary objective, targeting below-grade, on-grade, and above-grade learners.
Write assessment items at three cognitive levels for one elementary unit and explain what each item measures.
Explain how response-to-intervention tiers, formative assessment, and standards-based grading work together in an elementary classroom.
Practice explaining elementary mathematics concepts (place value, fractions, multiplication) in two different representations each.
Your checkpoint
A K–6 scope-and-sequence document plus three differentiated lesson plans with aligned assessments.
Pedagogy: Secondary (Grades 5–12) & Dance (Grades K–12)
Draft a secondary lesson plan that uses discussion-based and inquiry-based instruction and specifies how student understanding will be checked.
Describe classroom-management and engagement strategies appropriate to adolescent learners and justify each with a developmental rationale.
Outline the elements of dance (body, action, space, time, energy) and create a short movement sequence that demonstrates each element.
Write a dance lesson that integrates creation, performance, and response and includes a safe warm-up and cool-down.
Compare assessment approaches in dance (performance rubrics, video portfolios, peer critique) and select one for a sample unit.
Your checkpoint
One secondary lesson plan plus one complete dance unit outline with a performance rubric.
Computer, Keyboarding, and Related Technology (Grades K–12) & Business (Grades 5–12) & Communication Arts/Literature (Grades 5–12)
Complete a timed mixed practice set across business, communication arts, and technology and log every missed item by error type.
Re-teach your three weakest concepts from these domains by writing a short explanation and a worked example for each.
Explain digital citizenship, acceptable-use policy, and student data privacy obligations in a one-page staff-facing summary.
Revise one earlier essay or business document using a rubric and document the specific changes made.
Your checkpoint
A scored mixed practice set with an error-analysis table and three self-written re-teach explanations.
