  18. The TPE’s and Methods Classes • You will have assignments this semester which will ask you to demonstrate your understanding of most of the TPE’s • 1B 531 • 3 532 • 5 530 • 7 532 • 8 530 • 9 531 • 11 530 • 12 530

  19. Or, to look at it the other way • 530 5, 8, 11, and 12 • 531 1B and 9 • 532 3, 7, and 8

  21. Your Mission • First, read and parse all the TPE’s • Language is dense, packed • To understand them, you must unpack them • You will have an assignment to do this for 1B and 9 in EDTP 531 • You should do it for all the TPE’s

  22. Your Mission, con’t • Second, make it a habit to think of the TPE’s in terms of teaching to the standards • Do not think of the TPE’s as mere techniques separate from teaching to the standards • Think of the TPE’s as guides to teaching to the standards to diverse student populations

  23. Your Mission, con’t • Third, start thinking about specific standards in your discipline and how a specific TPE would apply

  24. Your Mission, con’t • Fourth, think about how the TPE’s interrelate • How does, for example, TPE 3 --- Interpretation and Use of Assessments relate to TPE 9 --- Instructional Planning?

  25. Conclusion • TPE’s written in bureaucratic language • Despite this, they are excellent guides to teaching to the standards • And teaching to the standards to diverse student populations • Learn them • Love them • Live them
