Following, you will find a selection of artifacts that demonstrate my competencies for domain 3 of the Danielson Framework for teaching.
Here is the chart of standards for the physical fitness tests that all of my 1-5th grade students. This is posted in the classroom so students can see where they need to improve, where they can excel and how high they can achieve. Students know that this is one way they will be evaluated and they use it as a motivational piece. This is an assessment criteria that is used by the entire district that I student-taught in. After each practice test students checked their score against the standards and gave me a thumbs up or down for each test except for the BMI test.

This lesson was spent getting students ready to pass their fitness tests. All of my students were continuously active until they lined up after their cool down. After this class, students gave me a verbal "yes" or "no" about their readiness for each test.
This is a student's representation of Maslow's triangle. One of my favorite assignments of the class, students look through magazines and find pictures that apply to themselves for each of the levels of Maslow's hierarchy. Before students can turn this in for credit, they must get into groups and explain a selection of pictures from each level to better understand what they mean to each other. Students are provided instructions to create this after reading about Maslow in class, shown an example, and then discuss with me what they are expected to create. One of the really oddities about this assignment is that there hasn't ever been two identical triangles because they are unique to each student.
This is a project that connects to all of my students differently. Not all of my students had experienced a death of a loved one, but we applied the grieving process to several other possible situations. Students created a picture of what each stage looks like for them and presented a selection of their drawings. When they were all turned in I had a few students share their drawings to groups of peers. The groups then graded each other on how they feel the other students did.
