General Reflective Statement Competency: Curriculum and Planning Artifact: #2 Unit lesson Plan Tab 3-2 “The teacher recognizes the importance of long-range planning and curriculum development and develops, implements, and evaluates curriculum based upon students, district, and state performance standards.” In an effective classroom setting a teacher must use extensive planning and preparation in order to meet the needs of her students. While meeting the needs of the students a teacher must also meet the standards set forth by the district, and the state. In order to meet these standards a teacher must have long and short- range planning and curriculum development. It is through these goals that a teacher can control the atmosphere in their class to receive the desired outcome. It is just as important for a teacher to include activities in these lessons that meet the individual needs of the students while meeting the standards provided by the district and state curriculum. I have gained my understanding of curriculum and planning from my education classes at Missouri Baptist University, including Integration of Literacy into the Content Area and Educational Methods as well as through my field experiences, substitute teaching, and student teaching. While substitute teaching I had the challenge of going into a classroom and not knowing if a teacher left lesson plans for the day.
