Teaching Standards

Standards

The standards for different grade levels vary. For preschool teachers we have to see if the child interacts well with their peers. What kind of language they use. Do they speak clearly. What words do they not know hoe to pronounce and why. We basically get them prepared to go into the stages of where there going to be graded on their performance. We check to see if they know the meanings of the words that they are using. If they can make a sentence using more than four or five words. If they share emotions and expressions to convey what they are trying to say. If they are motivated to start reading. If they enjoy activities where a book is involved. If they can break down a word into there syllable. Can they explain what they just were read?, do they have an understanding of what order things happened in in the story. In writing we check to see if they hold the pencil with a tight grasp. To see if they know how to form letters. How they form them; If they can write on a straight line. Do they know that some letters are upper case. Do they realize what things need upper case. Do they sign their art work.?, with what hand do they write with. If they know how to write first name, and last name?. in math I would want to know if they recognize simple patterns, what number is bigger. In science I would see if they know how to ask questions like why does this happen? And try to answer there own question; make comparisons. In social studies I want them to be aware of where they live, leaders and who is it that runs the country where they live. For their gross motor skills I want them to move with ease and be able to balance themselves. Be able to jump more than 18inches on the ground. For their fine motor skills I want them to show the control to color inside the lines, and write with a pencil in a straight line, and cut on a dotted line as well.
