Summary of Teaching Practice
2010
The formative assessment process provides the opportunity to systematically focus on developing as a professional educator (CSTP Standard 6) in all aspects of teaching. The Summary of Teaching and Learning Module is a holistic reflection on your teaching through a review of the Assessment of Teaching and Learning, Context for Teaching and Learning, and Inquiry into Teaching and Learning Modules.

This reflection captures your progress related to the California Standards for the Teaching Profession, the state-adopted academic content standards for students, and the Induction Program Standards.
