THE INTASC STANDARDS & ARTIFACTS
"The Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support
Consortium (InTASC) offers a set of model core teaching standards that outline what teachers should
know and be able to do to ensure every K-12 student reaches the goal of being ready to enter college or the
workforce in today’s world. These standards outline the common principles and foundations of teaching practice that
cut across all subject areas and grade levels and that are necessary to improve student achievement.
More importantly, these Model Core Teaching Standards articulate what effective teaching and learning looks like in
a transformed public education system – one that empowers every learner to take ownership of their learning, that
emphasizes the learning of content and application of knowledge and skill to real world problems, that values the
differences each learner brings to the learning experience, and that leverages rapidly changing learning environments
by recognizing the possibilities they bring to maximize learning and engage learners. A transformed public education
system requires a new vision of teaching."
A total of ten InTASC Standards cover the categories of The Learner and Learning, Content Knowledge, Instructional Practice, and Professional Responsibility. Click on each standard to view particular artifacts and explanations as to how I have met each domain as an educator.
