The Junior-Year (Entrance to Professional Sequence)
MCE Program Portfolio
For your Junior-Year MCE Program Portfolio, you will need to submit

what portions of your IT 3210 Learning Environment Portfolio might apply
to each INTASC Standard for your MCE Program Portfolio.
INTASC 1. The teacher understands the central concepts,
tools of inquiry, and structures of the discipline(s) he or she teaches*
and
can create leaning experiences that make these aspects of subject matter
meaningful for students.
*Students will be assessed on their understandings of their disciplines
(major and minor areas) and on the teaching of Reading at this point
of the portfolio evaluation. Students will be assessed on "creating
learning experiences" within the disciplines (Math, Science, English,
and Social Studies) at the next assessment point.
INTASC 2. The teacher understands how children learn and
develop, and can provide learning opportunities that support their intellectual,
social, and personal development.

or herself, to construct their own knowledge, and/or construct a product
of their newly developed knowledge.
-
Any active learning lesson plan that allows the learner to work at his/her
own pace.
-
Any active learning lesson plan that allows the learner to work in cooperative
