The teacher understands human developmental processes and applies this knowledge to plan instruction and ongoing assessment that motivate students and are responsive to their developmental characteristics and needs.
How, specifically does the teacher demonstrate this?
The teacher recognizes the individual developmental differences of her students and plans her instruction to meet their needs.
In the time I have been observing in the classroom, I noticed that there are at least three or four students that are achieving really high while others require additional help. In order to help the low performing students, the teacher reassigned seats so the advanced students can tutor the rest of the students in the same table.
