WAC 181-78A-270: 5.2 Knowledge of teaching
b) Teacher candidates positively impact student learning that is:
i. Informed by standards-based assessment: All students benefit from learning that is systematically analyzed using multiple formative, summative, and self-assessment strategies.
ii. Intentionally planned: All students benefit from standards-based planning that is personalized.
iii. Influenced by multiple instructional strategies: All students benefit from personalized instruction that addresses their ability levels and cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
iv. Informed by technology: All students benefit from instruction that utilizes effective technologies and is designed to create technologically proficient learners.
This standard is based on the foundations of instruction; the proof is in the students themselves. Using multiple perspectives and individualized feedback, students will grow exponentially within the classroom. By using the right technology and planning intentionally, I can be a better and more efficient educator.

What supporting evidence (artifacts) can be provided? How do your students demonstrate their ability to think meta-cognitively about their own learning? What supporting evidence/artifacts can be provided to demonstrate this? Does this include examples of student voice?
