TExES Competency

Competency 001: The teacher understands human development processes and applies this

knowledge to plan instruction and ongoing assessment that motivate students and are responsive

to their developmental characteristics and needs.

- Being aware of the human development processes will allow the teacher to know how

a student learns and the best ways to teach. This also can help by making age

appropriate lessons and activities. For example, a younger student could learn the

water cycle by coloring. An older student may benefit more by doing a project.

Competency 002: The teacher understands student diversity and knows how to plan learning

experiences and design assessments that are responsive to differences among students and that

promote all students learning.

- Students bring a wide range of viewpoints to the classroom which creates challenges

for the teacher. A teacher must know that all students are different and learn in

different ways. Creating lessons that meet all learning styles will create the most

effective learning environment for all students.

Competency 003: The teacher understands procedures for designing effective and coherent

instruction and assessment based on appropriate learning goals and objectives.

- A teacher must understand what the students goals and objectives are and how to

effectively teach that student. Understanding procedures for creating lessons will help

meet the students needs and allow them to grow.

Competency 004: The teacher understands learning processes and factors that impact student

learning and demonstrates this knowledge by planning effective, engaging instruction and

appropriate assessments.

- A teacher needs to understand that many outside factors impact how the student

learns in the classroom. A teacher should incorporate ways to reach all students on all

levels. A successful classroom provides engaging instruction and appeals to all

learning styles.

Competency 005: The teacher knows how to establish a classroom climate that fosters learning,

equity and excellence and uses this knowledge to create a physical and emotional environment

that is safe and productive.

- A classroom is a place to learn but it is also a place a student should feel comfortable

and safe. A teacher should make their students feel equal to their peers and allow

them to find themselves. The curriculum should be followed but the teacher should

also allow space for creativity.
