Quality Standard I Teachers demonstrate mastery of and pedagogical expertise in the content they teach. The secondary teacher has knowledge of literacy and mathematics and is an expert in his or her content endorsement area(s).
Element A Teachers provide instruction that is aligned with the Colorado Academic Standards, their District’s organized plan of instruction, and the individual needs of their students.
Reasoning Statement: The lesson plan I created in EDUC350 uses one Colorado Academic standard. I used this standard to create understandings, inquiry questions, target goals, the procedure, assessments, and modifications/extensions. The Colorado State Standards for music education include expression of music, creation of music, theory of music, and aesthetic valuation of music. I used standard 2.2 in the Colorado Academic Standards for music education to specifically design one lesson involving the creation of music with technology. My goal for students is that they can assume the role of the listener to evaluate aesthetically pleasing sounds that students will create using Peak.

Element B Teachers develop and implement lessons that connect to a variety of content areas/disciplines and emphasize literacy and mathematical practices.
Reasoning Statement: The element I included is from the EDUC350 Discussion post Data and My Classroom. After hearing the guest speaker talk about how all teachers are responsible for helping students succeed in all content areas including mathematics and literacy, I considered what I would do within my own classroom to implement these.

Element C Teachers demonstrate knowledge of the content, central concepts, inquiry, appropriate evidence-based instructional practices, and specialized characteristics of the disciplines being taught.
Reasoning Statement: The artifact is a project I completed in my introduction to music education class. The artifact includes a broad list of topics in music education. Each topic includes a brief explanation and explanations about how it connects to other topics. Additionally, under each topic I included questions and resources specific to music education.
